All I know is it's going to be tough to get a ticket next year. Assembly hall is going to be rocking the whole year. Romeo is not a savior but he will be a massive draw no matter what.

It's weird not going to the recruiting forum to view this thread. I love it, but it's wierd.

The IDS has our projected lineup for next season as

- DG

- Romeo

- Smith

- Morgan

- Davis 

Substitute Race for Davis if he’s not healthy and I really like that lineup if Smith develops to be a decent three point shooter

I'd be shocked if he stayed two years with injury risk, etc but you never know. I suspect we cam be pretty darn good next year assuming Morgan stays. I fully expect him back.

Nobody really knows until college life starts, and practices begin, and life happens.  Romeo, just like all freshman undergrad students, is moving out of his parents' home and into his own life for the first time for a year, or however many years he decides, and he is doing that in Bloomington, at Indiana University.  He will never experience anything like that college life at IU again in his life.  If he bolts for the NBA straight from his freshman year in college, he is almost assuredly going to have a very good life.  That is already most likely in the cards for Romeo no matter what.  And his first year in the NBA is always most likely going to be unbelievably great whether he goes pro after freshman year or later, but would that ever be as good in full, in retrospect, as living an extra very early adult year or more in life in college in Bloomington, Indiana at Indiana University in his very early prime?  Idk.  Think about how good life is when you move out for the first time into your own life, and you do that with 50,000ish+ of your very similar peers.  I think it is a question worth asking.  The Zeller family sent 3 children to the NBA, and Papa Zeller encouraged Cody to stay at IU at least one extra year past freshman year even when Cody was projected upper mid 1st round, after Papa had already sent two children to the NBA before Cody, and he encouraged Cody to do that because he wanted Cody to experience at least one more year in that once-in-a-lifetime place in life and time.  And if you ask Cody today about that decision he made to stay an extra year in Bloomington, do you think he regrets that year in Bloomington?  Or do you think he wishes he could have another year even better than the one he spent in Bloomington in college as a sophomore?

Not sure Davis will be healthy yet so id say maybe we go smaller with hunter.

Doubt Davis is ready. And not sure if ready if hes our starter. I'd say Race ATM. And would prefer to play Smith off the bench.

Crazy how Archie has proved he’s already a better coach in just over a year.

As much as we've tore into Darius Garland, he was classy about Romeo coming here. He's off my **** list. Now that this over, good luck to Vandy. I hope they beat UK twice.

Garland may have been classy, but the Vandy fans have become salty calling Tim Langford Lavar Ball, and such.

Here’s a fun comment from the article:

“I don't get the hype, well, I do but

Langford is way over-rated. I doubt he is one and done. Not really sure why he didn’t choose Kentucky. Could it be that Cal coached him in the USA U-19 team along with Carsen, and Romeo was: meh…. And then there’s the "Ball Effect", i.e., parents that know better than coaches. Maybe a little of that here as well. I doubt Painter actually wanted Langford, seriously. "purdue guy" and all that—which I agree with, personally.
So, no, I couldn’t care less about Langford. I will enjoy seeing us have our way again this year.

Now what do we do with ourselves LOL?

No one else got that vibe of Tim being a bit too much? If it was a UK or Purdue kid we’d be all over them about it. I was embarrassed for Romeo, that ceremony was nauseating. Comparisons to Abe Lincoln? Lol. Just not the way I would have done it, but I’m thrilled he’s a Hoosier. My favorites page can now update to TJD’s crystal ball predictions from Romeo’s!

We need 7,000 posts or so for this to eclipse the Fire Tom Crean thread. Let's aim for that.
