WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 FBI must be going off our tradition then lol. Said they're paying to stay at the top jkjk. In all seriousness we could be I guess. At least 3 dozen so that'd be quite a few teams. Once they drop their hammer it's really gonna affect college basketball. They have to change the rules. Let the kids who don't wanna go to college go to the NBA right away. Money will still exchange hands no doubt though. People already forget the first schools they named though so we will see if it changes anything. Still worth keeping an eye on. Like you said for us as well which hopefully doesn't happen.Pretty much. Even with 1 and done rule changed, the best remaining HS players will get paid. Too much money in college basketball and too much incentive to get best players. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

323SGrant Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 IMO with Romeo, IU would be my preference, but it’s his decision not mine. Nothing wrong with him looking at other schools, however, that’s why it’s important to recruit outside of the state of Indiana while recruiting Indiana. Some of these instate players don’t want to play at IU. To this point we’ve seen enough from CAM to know he’s a pretty good coach. We’ll know soon if Romeo decides to attend IU or elsewhere.

coonhounds Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I don’t know if all of this pomp and circumstance is going to woo Romeo. If he is serious about basketball he will be focused on watching how Drew coaches, not what poison Darius is whispering in his ear. You completely changed from yesterday.

HooHooHoo22 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I think this might be a positive for IU. When you look at the visit, it seems likes Drew is doing everything he possibly can to get Romeo. Kinda like panic mode?? He’s bringing in former G league players from the program and everyone he possibly can. Doesn’t seem like drew has this one wrapped up like most think. The only thing I’m sort of worried about is him being with Garland.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners FCHoosier, woodenshoemanHoosierfan and pumpfake 3 Quote
Dumbledore_says_fire_TC Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Indiana offers him a great coach, bigger stage for him to build his brand, a better roster for next season, and they’re an Adidas school. Vandy offers Garland, that’s it. If it is a business decision like the Garland’s have stated, then it has to be Indiana. Iugradman, BGleas and pumpfake 3 Quote
BH33 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Rightfully so, but I'm guessing we'll see a heavy dose of Oladipo & Gordon All-Star weekend coverage on IU's social media accounts to further boost the brand. Quote

Hoosierfan2017 Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 If Romeo wants the best shot at a championship he'll go to Kansas. If he wants to be close to home while building up his brand and still competing in the tournament he'll come to IU. If they're mostly just looking to cash in (not saying they are) he'll go to Vandy. That's how I see it at least. I'm feeling good about our chances but a lot can happen between now and April. Iugradman and pumpfake 2 Quote
Me So Hornsby Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I’ve always thought the Langford’s insistence on seeing how the coaches interact with their players and how they coach in game was a huge factor. Archie has proven how well he can coach and how much he can get out of his players when they buy in to his system this year. We lost two NBA draft picks, another player to the G league coming in to the year, and then lost a starting player from this years team and we are 7th in the B1G. Drew lost one player to the NBA and another to graduation, while losing MFD to injury a few weeks ago and are 12th in the SEC. It sure seems like there is a coach that’s separating himself from the other one Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners pumpfake, Hoosierfan0302, IUBBFan1970 and 4 others 7 Quote

The only thing that really makes sense for RoMeO is IU no matter how anyone wants to spin it, IMO. I've heard so much about how RoMeO and his family is treating this selection as a business decision. If this really is a business decision, he will be going to IU. Ultimately, it is his (& family) call of course then the rest will be "history" but come on he is already a legend in Indiana and he would be going to another school and starting over basically. Really not much to think about from a business perspective. BGleas, pumpfake and Iugradman 3 Quote
pumpfake Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Like the previous two posts, I feel that this visit is intended to (and probably will) help the Langfords get critical information about the two coaches and programs. Seeing how the coaches handle and instruct the players seems to be high on the list of priorities according to Tim Langford - Romeo and family have had much more opportunity to interact and observe Archie. Now it's time for Drew to show what he's got. From a coaching (not recruiting or selling) standpoint I really like our chances. We'd certainly hold a significant advantage in the area of facilities and fan support. I'd say Romeo would probably get more exposure at IU as well. I believe Mr. Langford and the NA coach are pretty high on Archie as a coach. If Romeo is strongly influenced by Garland, promises from Drew, or hoopla surrounding marginal NBA alums, then we may not be his choice. That said, from everything we've heard, I think the decision will be made based on coaching and development. Again, I feel good about our chances if that is the criteria. SlamaJamaSisley 1 Quote
Ajwhitis Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Just my personal opinion, but I watched a live stream on instagram from Darius yesterday, and he so god damn obnoxious. Just seemed kind of immature to me, and I have gotten that vibe from him a few times, just watching how he carries himself it makes it pretty obvious. Romeo seems much more mature and I don't think they're as close of friends as Darius thinks they are... Hoosierfan2017, Iugradman and HooHooHoo22 3 Quote

I'm hoping that IU gets a roster full of players that want to play with Rob. And, I'm hoping that Romeo sees that in Rob, and is one of them. MIUGA, Iugradman, ALASKA HOOSIER and 4 others 7 Quote
