Two 5 star freshman, one with a torn ACL, to join a 20 loss team. They would be lucky to make the tourney.
Whatever you say, boss. They’re still in his top 3, and a real threat to steal him away from IU. Probably more of a threat than Kansas. Crazy, I know.

Vandy is the one that has really baffled me. I wouldn't blame him one bit for going to Kansas. Ton of history, winning program, great fan base, hof coach ect...I really think at this point that it is IU, but if he picks Vandy over IU in basketball that wouldn't make a lot of sense.

It’s definitely IU. With his open gym announcement, something like 4000+ people will be in attendance. I don’t see him disappointing everyone and not picking IU. I liked our odds before he said it was an open gym. Now, IMO, it’s a done deal, he’ll be a Hoosier.
 
9 of the last 11 upper echelon recruits from Indiana left the state. I'm sure they heard some IU chants at their games too. It's not a stretch to think that a Louisville fan who lives in a suburb of Louisville will do the same. Even though the open announcement would seem to indicate Indiana, some in the area believe he would've announced this way regardless.

Louisville sportswriter Fletcher Page sez:

I think New Albany High is the only place Romeo would make his decision and sign. He is New Albany. He is such an important figure in that community, and he should have his time with his people in that place. I don’t think the college he will choose had any sway on where the ceremony would be held. I don’t see a relation between the location and the decision.

One again you truly do not know much about this kids recruitment, so just stop while you're behind.

Fletcher Page isn't close to this recruitment. He just lives in a nearby town.

Fletcher is a UK fan that covers Kentucky Basketball for the CJ, he tries to get bites anyway he can.

What exactly is there to know besides the fact that some middle-aged IU geeks go to his games and chant "IU" and that some of them will skip work to pile into his gym on Monday?

A $___ handshake from Sean Miller's brother?
 
when is his announcement? I hate when players drag shit out like this.

They would have a top 3 recruiting class with Langford, Garland and Shittu. There's no way they're missing the tournament with that kind of talent unless there are major chemistry issues.
 
Well, in fairness, so does about every stand-up comedian of the last decade.

I generally think it's good when Indiana kids stay in-state, and from all indications, Romeo seems to be a stand-up kid that goes about things the right way (the Calipari stuff from his dad notwithstanding). So I'm not going to bitch too much when he picks IU next week.

On the other hand, the Indianapolis media is going to be an insufferable cesspool of slack-jawed fanboys for the next 13 months, so this is going to blow.

Its gonna be a fun one.

Or if they had a shitty coach, like the one who just had one of the worst seasons in Vanderbilt history during his second year.
 
Romeo: “I don’t think it is going to be a negative reaction if I don’t pick IU,” Langford said. “I think they will support me either way, wherever I go.”

"If it's not IU and I don't know for sure if it's them or not," Tim Langford said. "If they are truly Romeo fans, the difference between being school fans not my son's fans. So when all is said and done, who's really for my son, who's a fan of him."

Epic meltdown coming?Laughing

Done deal bro, let it go.

Unbelieveably rattled this one is.

Too easy.

For the record, I've been prepared to not have him. He would be a luxury.
