I live in New Albany and the vibe down here is that Romeo is going to Vanderbilt. I don't know why people are saying that or feeling that but that's just what I've heard. Not saying it's concrete.

Seeing him go to a Nike school would definitely be unexpected

I am hearing the same rumors too. I can also say though that I have spoke with some of the coaches and a school administrator and they have no idea. Say his recruitment is still honestly open and the Langford’s are still trying to figure out which school is best for him.

Probably because 2/3 of them (or more) are Loserville fans and they just want to bust IU's chops.

2/3 of NA are not UL fans. There's just as many UK fans. 


All the more reason to bust IU's chops.

But either way I don't think local fandom plays a major role there. There's a higher probability that someone in the local population has heard information at any given point and it spread. But who knows at what point in the recruitment that might have been.

Bill Self wasn’t able to due to having to deal with Billy Preston issue last minute. An assistant visited. At least that is what was out there.

 

Self won't have to deal with Billy any longer.  Sounds like there's probably a lot more to the car incident than has been made public.  Glad we struck out on this one.

BC Igokea signs former McDonalds' All-American Billy Preston

We are thrilled to welcome Billy Preston to our Club. We watched him when he was in High School at OakHill Academy and in the McDonalds All Star game. We are honored to have such a tremendous talent in our organization. We were watching his situation closely and reached out to his family to show interest and ultimately reached an Agreement with the family Attorney in California on a contract for the rest of the season. We know Billy is an NBA prospect so we will do our best to continue his development to help him excel for our club and fulfill his goal which is to be an NBA star in the near future.. Thank’s to Billy and his mother and of course his attorney Jeffrey B. Valle,we’ll be able to watch him live in Laktasi, Republic of Srpska.

It’s amazing how dirty recruiting can be. NCAA might as well just pay players because a lot of them get paid anyway

He's not going to Kansas. I am confident in saying that.  I just don't think he has the mindset to tell Darius Garland no.  I've watched him many times and I just don't.  He's very quiet and passive aggressive.   He definitely is intrigued by Archie and IU though.  Still 80% chance he goes to Vandy.

Does Billy get to keep the car and are the repairs on his or KU's dime? So many questions left unanswered.

I've heard the Vandy rumors as well. I've also heard, back to last spring, that Romeo would be at IU. Like the coaching search, it'll be interesting to see what "sources" were right.

I get that feel too. I thought his behavior with the injuries yesterday was interesting. He kept coming back and competing and that was impressive but it felt like he was creating some visible excuses just in case. It was odd in a way.

His expression when he told Biancardi that there are no leaders was interesting. Kind of a smirk. I have the feeling he is leaning a certain way if not already decided. Tim has mentioned Bryce's time in the NBA multiple times.

Well....he becomes the next spotlight nationally after Williamson announces tonight.

I don't know if it's an influencing factor, but I loved seeing the IU gear that was worn by the fans in attendance. Indiana fans are passionate about this game and Indiana fans love Romeo. Homegrown Hoosier legends are special.  It looks like he has 9 more games, so I hope the fans keep filling the gyms to watch Romeo. But don't forget to wear your Hoosier gear.

Would Zion Williamson turning down the likes of puke, dook, and the U of No Classes to stay home help in Romeo's recruitment?

I would love to see the states best players play for Indiana starting with getting 3 of the best 4 (Romeo, Anderson, Phinisee) in 2018 and following it up with 2 of the best 3 in 2029 (Jackson-Davis, Brooks).

Now your back to vandy and the alpha dog? So he's going to let the alpha dog make his decision for him? Who's going to pick his college classes for him?
