mdn82 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Does he though? Kansas has already spent their 5 star allotment. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile appYes? You wouldn’t take Romeo Langford over what they have if your ultimate goal is a NCAA title? What does he mean to Vandy that they would pay more than Kansas? Come on man. Be honest with yourself here. There is zero expectations at Vandy. Stallings made a career out of it. Destination Job (Kansas) v stepping stone that already has 2 five stars, a four star, some transfers... it’s not even close in a free agency if we are being honest with ourselves and this is the way it is. Then you add all of the benefits of Kansas v Vandy from a national exposure standpoint. But hey, what do I know about business.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app thebigweave and moyemayhem 2 Quote

tortex28 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I’ve felt for awhile that Romeo especially Garland is trying to tell us he’s going to Vandy. I think the publicity while on his journey to catch Damon is greatly enhanced by hopeful Indiana fans. The Langford camp knows this and that’s why it’s more important to wait on committing out of state. If Romeo announced for Vandy early on, most of Indiana wouldn’t care about Romeo. He is building his brand . The timing of his announcement, the family in Atlanta, Archie not watching Romeo’s recent games, all point in that direction. Sorry folks we are getting the shaft again. YepSent from my SM-J727V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
tortex28 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Maybe brand building isn’t the best way to describe it. My point is that Romeo is getting way more hype which keeps his name buzzing around the Nation helped by crazy Indiana fans like ourselves. If he committed out of state, IU fans and local IU media wouldn’t be staying around 2hrs after a high school game to see him.I agreeSent from my SM-J727V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
tortex28 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 I think it is to early to panic lets see if Romeo visits iu again. Imo if he visits again we are at least seriously being considered. If romeo does not make another visit then i think the writing is on the wall and he going to vandy. If someone disagrees with this that is fine as i am not claiming to know anything so dont get all up in arms lolSent from my SM-G920V using BtownBanners mobile appYes I'd be interested to see if they sure enough show up for a second visit as wellSent from my SM-J727V using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Bailey7878 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 That’s cool and all if they are shady or dirty. Does anyone not think Kansas would not outbid them if this were a bidding war? He means more to Kansas than Vandy. I just wish people would think about what they typing before they type them.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appVandy needs him much more than Kansas does.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

tortex28 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Well, this is not encouraging. Might as well lock this thread now. Still not real solid proof there or anything thoughSent from my SM-J727V using BtownBanners mobile app lillurk and IUBBFan1970 2 Quote

Bailey7878 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 The other thing is weren't people saying how peegs was saying in chat how good things looked for iu and romeo. Something like he wasn't ready to call it but felt very good. And then you get the Romeo to vandy is basically a given posts. Man somebody is going to be way off.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk IUBBFan1970, lillurk and Stuhoo 3 Quote
tortex28 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 That's not my theory. My theory is he is waiting to make it look like it was a REALLY tough decision and he would have loved to play at Indiana BUT he just loves Bryce Drew and Garland and how they plan to use him. It was so hard, he had to think about his decision all season long. optics. Pretty much what Wilkes did as well.

Uspshoosier Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Vandy needs him much more than Kansas does.Sent from my SM-J700T using TapatalkNot if Kansas wants to be a ultimate threat to win the national title next year. Without Romeo they are in the discussion with Romeo Kansas and duke are probably the favorites. Without Romeo Vandy is probably a borderline tourney team and with Romeo they are probably a tournament team that could get to the second weekend. I would say he is much more important to Kansas in terms of winning a national title Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app mdn82 1 Quote

He then pivots to vandy who is in the sec, has no history of success and is landing top players out of nowhere, one of which is Shittu who’s recruitment is worthy of an investigation on its own. There is plenty of smoke here to what business decision means. Building intrigue, a brand but also setting themselves up financially, maybe now, maybe in the future or both. Latest article on the fbi investigation suggests 50 schools are involved in illegal recruiting and that no players are free.Add it upSent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Iugradman, RatpigHoosier, WayneFleekHoosier and 1 other 4 Quote
