Hopefully they get a full roster of guys like Rob! Seems like a real professional!

I would slightly differ:

Rob Phinisee does not seem like a real "professional,"

He seems like a real student athlete, and a real Hoosier.

The same pitch as any other program: "YOU are the missing piece to put us over the top!" 
Not much different then what he's hearing from IU or KU, really.   Only difference is what that means relative to each team: Vandy= +.500 record, IU= Compete for B1G title and deep tourney run, KU= Natl Championship. Everyone is telling him they will feature him, develop him and he'll be a legend even after he leaves. We know that is only true for ONE of the three, though don't we?   

True but vandy can't pitch anything other than you'll put us over the top. No facilities, history, rabid fans, basketball school, etc. The pitch is a short one

I really think we could be a top 5 team by the end of next year with Romeo, the ceiling for that team is a final four/national championship run.

Yep. Romeo is the difference. Next year’s team would reach its full potential with him

Has to be the dumbest saying in all of college sports, and they even got it posted on their football stadium

If we’ve been paying for the talent we’ve been getting, I demand a refund.

Could be Kenny just got a couple kids more at Louisville,we were recruiting Mitchell and Spaulding hard.
Hope I'm wrong.

Darius rubs a lot of people the wrong way on the outside, but those close to him couldn't say nicer things about him. Kid needs to change that asap because he wants to be an NBA player and build his brand. What teenager is ready for that at his age besides LeBron though? With that said he fooled me. I truly thought he was a great kid who never talked close to the way he does. I didn't think he was a Rob Phinisee type but maybe a Tre Jones type. Negative. We're lucky with Rob. He's an awesome kid and we couldn't of gotten a better pg for the future.

I don’t know if Archie needs to adjust his recruiting pitch or what but we should not be fighting and scrapping with Vanderbilt and UCLA for kids in our backyard. I guess we are paying for the sins of our past.

It is just the way it is. He doesn't live that far from Nashville so it is not that crazy. It may never be the way it was in the past the world has changed greatly since the tgen

The whole video of him saying he can't reveal his and Romeo's "secrets" is obnoxious more than anything to me, that drives me crazy. He's been trying to soeak things into existence for a while and he will be trying very very hard this weekend, let's hope it annoys the hell out of Romeo

Romeo had zero interest in IU with crean around. Had Archie been here a year or two ago I'm guessing we'd have him locked up by now. But I agree we should not have to fight vandy for kids in our own state

Sometimes quite reserved people like myself like hanging around with loud people. It doesn’t make since but opposites do attract!

Whaaaaaaaaaat!!??? Link? If he's doing that than I don't have an excuse for that. Teenage kids are arrogant and that's fine to an extent, we've made them that way but all the attention we give, but going out of your way and bringing in other kids who want no part of it isn't cool plain and simple. If Romeo does choose Vandy now it's just gonna look more and more like he couldn't even make the decision for himself.

Mitchell’s dad came out and said adidas pointed them towards Louisville. In an anonymous interview he said Donovan had a real interest in an adidas school in the BIG big adidas pushed them towards Louisville

That's true but to an extent. I'm sure Romeo and his family don't want Garland narrating his decision and running his mouth all over social media. Being a reason they are friends make sense, but not this. Sucks. I hope Romeo gets to make this decision with people knowing it's his, not his dad's or not Garlands.

Damn... Adidas screwing over IU to send a kid to Louisville? Why do we even bother with this second-rate brand.

Do you have a link?

We are in great shape with numerous top 50 prospects in '19. Archie's recruiting tactics are fine. UCLA has a ton to sale and they are a school that catches eyes. Vandy beat out a lot more than us for Garland. Shittu was a weird recruitment. They beat out everyone but 2 other schools for one of the most sought after prospects of the whole class and could end up beating everyone including Duke, UK, Kansas I mean c'mon.
