By the time RP arrives on campus, he's going to be at least 6'5".  I'm not mocking you, it's just that very early on, I think the word was he was only 5'10" and now we're up to maybe 6'2".  It's all just a part of the process and it's humorous.  Nothing more than that.

Haha no worries. It was just a rough estimate on my part from a quick eyeballing, but if he's shorter than 6' when he gets here I would honestly be surprised.

I could very well have shrunk from my rucksacking days in the Army lol. So my height comparison could be way off. 

Did you lose an inch, too? Glad I'm not the only one, lol!

Believe me they need ESPN a lot more than ESPN needs DG or his family. 

Meh, do they really though? Is ESPN providing them with something Scout or any other recruiting service can't?

On a college and professional level yes they are. All SEC games are on ESPN, plus NBA is on ESPN part of the time. That what I meant when I said they needed them

It's time to focus on 2019 hard. I think the Romeo shipped may have said today.

This is such a ridiculous statement. If Romeo was a done deal to Vandy why wouldn't he just commit right after Garland. Why wait till the Spring? People on this board get so negative when things don't go our way. Romeo is still very much in play for us.

But the Garlands don't and that was my original statement. Any recruit doesn't need ESPN. I am sure there will be some leery kids do what Garland did. SEC and NBA? Sure they do.

The best part about this thread wasn't the emotions out of some posters. You see that in most recruitments.

This thread gave us a new term. "Fact based opinions". The ones who assured us Darius was a lock based upon fact based opinions and discredited anybody who said he was going to Vanderbilt as trolls....that was the goods. Thanks all lol.

I like optimism but hopefully we can stop with the statements like "we have this one in the bag" and "he's ours" until we actually secure a  commitment from a recruit. Also, saying well this one poster thinks we are going to get him so we are definitely getting him. With that said, I really hope we get Romeo. This program needs a game changer bad not just for the roster but for public perception!

Missing on this one stung but having RP takes a lot of that sting out. I think he's gonna surprise a lot of people. Heck of a player.

Well his dad just announced he was commiting in the spring so that's all we have to go off of. Nothing would surprise me though.

I could see him committing in the next two days, or two years. But I could also see him foregoing basketball for baseball.

These statements are all sort of worthless, especially when you continually repeat them.

So now we miss out on the 5 star player but are stuck with the 4 star indiana guy pg. I think we are in good shape where are all of recruit the state guys that was complaining when fctc was here?

After some thought, and having watched the game last night, I really want us to find a dead-eye shooter (regardless of stars).

Anderson is a good shooter? Serious question; I've never seen him play.

It got weird. The reality is no one knew anything- that's about all I had on decent word. Then I come on here and posters have him locked to IU based on what they know. Frankly, some accounts got so detailed it was very obviously made up. Strange thing to do..

Now people are blaming a reporter for misleading them? Be mad at yourself for making assumptions about what this or that meant, and be mad at yourself for falling for fellow posters BS. 

Don't be mad at DG, a reporter doing his job, or AM.

Yes indeed.

"The biggest thing that stands out about Anderson on the offensive end is his shooting ability. When he gets his feet set and shoulders square, he is an elite outside shooter with unlimited range because of his strength. Anderson flicks his wrist and has great rotation on the ball. When he is squared up, his shot is rarely off to the left or right."
