(2018) SG Romeo Langford - INDIANA HOOSIERS

[Stromboli]

The 3 Indiana recruits were the highest performers for the seniors.  And with them going 3-14 from 3pt, they'll fit right in...

 

Hunter, the Purdue commit, played fine.  Interesting that Coach Shannon has to play guys like Rob over Sean East, probably not a great position to be in.  Probably the best interviews after the game came from Damezi.  He has no problem sounding enthusiastic for the team, and maybe giving the reporters the soundbite they're looking for.  He built up his teammates.  Some interesting tidbits:  he's going to be #23, and will be roommates with Jerome Hunter.  Apparently they became friends when Jerome's Pickerington North team came in for the Forum Tipoff Classic, and they've been texting ever since.  

Romeo, for his part, seemed a little bit over it.  He's always been soft spoken, but this bordered on being curt and disinterested.  He did say he was excited to start the next phase, move to Bloomington next week.

Good Lord, I wish I was moving to Bloomington for school next week.  Anyway, happy to see our guys show out.  I hope Rob finds his 3pt shot this weekend.  And major congrats to Archie and the staff for making Indiana an attractive destination for these guys.  It's been a blast following recruiting for this past year.

Does that mean he’s committing to IU ?! Oh wait

I'd say we're in a good position.

This young man just oozes character and class.

Blown away by the humble @yeahyeah_22. He went and visited #iubb champion (1953) and former New Albany great Paul Poff. Paul has recently been put in assisted living (85yo) & for Romeo to do something like this shows he’s one of a kind

Whether it’s one year or many years Romeo is going to be a kid that leaves a long lasting impact at IU and that’s not just on the court. His parents did a damn good job raising him.

it's so refreshing to see a young man of status not just thinking about himself and his ego. this young man could be the best player in this class and you would never know it by the way he acts. and he is the best player in his class.

We are so lucky to have Vic as an ambassador for IU and I have a feeling Romeo is going to follow in his shoes in that respect. Complete class act

[Hoosier Guy]

I’ve said it before. Romeo is the perfect ambassador for the new era of IU basketball. Not just a great player but a great person as well

Jeff Goodman predicts Romeo to go #3 in the 2019 draft. I personally think that's a few spots too high, but still cool

Could be a couple spots too high or could be two spots too low. Romeo has the potential to be a top pick in the draft without a doubt.

Totally. But "potential" is valued over production in the draft typically

Thought I would bump this so we can stop discussing him in the Brooks thread. 

So what are everybodies thoughts on him returning. Saw somebody say they saw in 24th in a mock draft. Anybody know where that was

I’ve been seeing 5-9 in Mocks.

Not sure which site typically comes closest to what actually happens but NBADRAFT.NET has him 14th. Since he already has a “name” I think the last two weeks of the season and a tourney run could change (up or down) his potential place.
