If you ask me, when you’re on a message board and someone who lives in the same geographic area as a prime recruit drops a piece of potential insider information, you take it for what it’s worth, and are very thankful that it was shared.

I did take it for what it's worth. About as much as all the garland secret inside info.

No offense Wayne, but I don’t think you’ve ever really read or listened to anything about any recruits that’s ever made you think it was pro-IU.

That's fair, I understand that. But mostly my judgement has been correct. I got swept up in the Garland/Langford hype. I honestly thought we were going to get both until the the final week.

Langford I haven't given up all hope. There are some signs remaining we could win out. I have my reasons for doubt, but not entirely off the hope train.

In general, since the Vonleh/Williams class we have whiffed on high rated recruits. Thomas Bryant was a fun one to follow and I think the Syracuse scandal helped us win that one.

Archie gives me more hope as his 4 star success rate was impressive. We have the staff to win 5 stars. Just a matter of seeing it happen to believe it.

Crean would never of gotten Bryant with out the syracuse issues. He fell into his lap. That being said I thought you were convinced Romeo would never come to iu?

Not exactly a ringing endorsement of Vandy in that. If a package deal is the main attraction that sounds like KU.

Ever since he cut it to 3 this has become a pretty simple recruitment moving forward in my opinion. If he wants the best chance to win a title and play with a buddy he will go to Kansas, if he wants to play with his buddy without much pressure he will go to vandy, and if he wants to be the guy and stay home he will go to IU.

That's hilarious coming from Self. I mean that guy has wasted more talent than anyone.

Anchors down is nervous. I get the impression they thought they have him by now.

Just gonna throw this out there:

Right now we only have three guards on next year's roster (Durham, Green, and Phinisee).

Romeo would be guard #4. If not Romeo, shouldn't we have been hearing about IU interest in recruiting another 2018 guard by now?

 

I thought Hunter and Anderson were going to be developed as guards.

If we don't get Romeo then I fully expect our last 2 scholarships to go to grad transfers for next year. So I'm not surprised they haven't offered anyone else.

Perceptive thought there.

Thats what I’m thinking too. Will be interesting to see how the staff approaches this off-season as far as recruiting goes.
