Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 With R.J Barrett coming to 2018, it only helps us. Maybe not with U of L. Not sure if they are after him, but UK & Kansas are the front runners for him and almost 95% sure their attention is on him for the next few months. Not that they can't go after both, but with top 10 kids most schools can make them a priority and like the attention and I believe like many of us have thought this makes it almost surely a U of L & IU battle.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted July 31, 2017 Posted July 31, 2017 Marcum is a near 80% correct guy with over 150 predictions in 2017. He is 5 out of 7 with Shareef O'Neal and E.J Montgomery being his misses this year which both came outta no where and picked their schools. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
HoosierRobbie Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 The Uk guys seem to think he's going to IU. Don't know if it's because they don't want him to go to UL or what, but they picked him to IU last week as well in Kentucky sports radio.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Iugradman, ALASKA HOOSIER and HoosierDYT 3 Quote

Dalton26 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 How many of those did he pick 1-2 days or less before the guy committed?In 2017 his average was 115 days and 2018 is 18 days. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote

CSP Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 If he was right 75% of the time in 2017 and on average made the pics 115 days in advance, then those aren't guesses.. he has legitimate sources. Dalton26, Brass Cannon and Yogi's Picnic Basket 3 Quote
Dalton26 Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Gotcha. I honestly assumed you couldn't find that info lol I know a lot of them will get the pick in 24 hours or less before a commitment so my curiosity got the best of me after you mentioned it.

LolExactly. That is why it is nice to have a good % but I also pay attention to dates. Marcum is one of the few that has a pick in before most. As someone stated above he has sources, but then again they all do, but Marcum is one of the guys I seem to go off. Meyer only because he always picks the day before so I know he is usually right by what everyone is saying at the time. I like Dylan Preskop and Andrew Slater as well.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Also seemed to get some good info last week. Had a buddy tell me UNC and Duke were almost completely out of the picture. I know Duke was said to have stopped contacting him but didn't mean they were out. Well today he sent me a text saying told ya so and I look on twitter and see Duke is now involved with Khavon Moore and UNC is involved with Nasir Little. Isn't just related to Romeo news I know but it does show they aren't sold he is seriously considering them. Duke has a few targets at his position and have heard Reddish was their main target. They're also more concerned with Tre Jones and Darius Garland then Romeo. Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Class of '66 Old Fart, Stuhoo, CR3AMnCR1MS0N and 4 others 7 Quote

My buddy knows Coach Shannon, but Shannon doesn't say anything other than what is out there and things to connect the dots. His family runs this recruitment with a small circle. Very small. Like I said IU and U of L are only serious contenders IMO at the moment. I was just saying UNC, Duke & UK which he has mentioned whether serious or not are moving on it seems or getting plan Bs, Cs & Ds.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app ALASKA HOOSIER, Class of '66 Old Fart and hoosierpap 3 Quote

Brass Cannon Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 So if I am Romeo I really have to ask myself if I want to share the spotlight with Simmons. I get the appeal of the dynamic duo aspect but Simmons would have far more control to showcase his skills than Romeo. Quote

I didn't know he was so inclined to play close to home. That is good news, but also for U of L. Gonna be interesting. I still have a gut feeling he makes his decision before 2018 year kicks off.

Simons & a junior King who by then could be in the NBA but if not Romeo will not be promised anything there. He may end up playing the most minutes on the team, but the uncertainty would worry me. ONLY reason I see him waiting till Spring is to see whose staying and going.Sent from my LGLS676 using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
