Plus he will also have the advantage of bringing another outstanding recruiter on board after his brother is fired from Arizona.
Romeo
- Thread starter choptalk
- Start date
Doubtful. He and the staff dont need the help. Schilling is loved in Indiana. And highly respected. As much as I want Romeo the two guys I think we have to get is either one of TJD or Brooks. In great with both.
We’ve been here before,lol.
The thing about Randle is we had good Intel that he was a hard lean to Kentucky after he visited for our alumni game in September and our sources never wavered in between then and when he announced.
I really think y'all just got homered on that one. No one from Kentucky's side was at all surprised. And Randle even confirmed in interviews after announcing that he was sold on Kentucky for a while but he wanted to wait till after his high school season so his teammates would get more exposure.
I like brooks a lot. I'd take him easily over DJ Jeffries if I didn't think Jeffries could help with Wiseman
Brooks is terrific, but I would not take him over Jeffries. I watched both play this weekend. They play different styles and I like both of their games, but I would take Jeffries over Brooks.
Either
Bull paid the $10 and drank the Slant koolaid.
Or
RL to LfK
It feels like a win, regardless.

I live in New Albany doll face. I'd rather spend $10 on a bum licking my ass hole and tasting my @TheDude1 than on a month subscription to the slant.
Brooks is really good. I know IU is in really good shape with him. Brooks is on record saying "he'd love to play at IU". Getting him along with TJD would be really, really huge.
Just talked with my uncle,
Congrats Hoosiers
I hope Kansas pockets the scholly, unless there's a sniper out there still looking to transfer.

I'm not sure this is getting over like you thought it would? But keep at it, maybe with a little persistence it will be funny or something.
So I say to my 12 year old son who plays competitive basketball for Boulder... “Romeo Langford is making his decision today, it’s between Indiana, Kansas, and Vanderbilt.” He looks at me with this confused look, and says, “Vanderbilt?”
I know son, I know.

That's awesome. Pretty much the same thought both KU and IU fan bases had when they were announced as a finalist.
Was looking through previous winners at the end of the article announcing Langford winning the award this year, and was surprised by the distribution of winners to various schools over the past 20 years. Not counting Langford (although he's likely headed to IU), the 19 winners have gone to 12 different schools.
5 - Indiana
2 - Notre Dame
2 - North Carolina
2 - Ohio State
1 - Purdue
1 - Xavier
1 - Michigan State
1 - Michigan
1 - Kentucky
1 - Virginia
1 - UCLA
1 - Arizona

I don't have a membership, but apparently there's someone on Slant who is willing to wager 10 grand that he won't. Dude on another board has said he'd disappear for two years if he's wrong.
Who knows, but I think people have overreacted to the open announcement thing.
That dude on the Slant would lose out on 10,000. It isn't just the open announcement
At what point are some of these kids going to be turned off by the number of SF/PF on IU's roster?
2017 class had 3 guys in the 6'6'-6'9" range: 4-star 6'7" Justin Smith, 4-star 6'8" Race Thompson, 3-star 6'9" Clifton Moore
2018 class had 3 guys in that same range: 4-star 6'7" Jerome Hunter, 4-star 6'6" Damezi Anderson, 3-star 6'8" Jake Forrester
2019 class: IU is in on 5-star 6'8" legacy recruit Trendon Watford, 5-star 6'8" Keion Brooks, 5-star 6'8" Trace Jackson-Davis
Only 80 minutes a game, at the 3+4 spots. If IU doesn't get Romeo... what do they have, like 3 guards total on the roster next year?
Not saying your wrong, but what else is there? Seems nobody knows, just reading tea leaves. BTW I'm saying its Indiana.
Everyone and I do mean everyone feels good about Indiana's chances as of this morning except for An6el or whatever their name is on the Kansas 247 page.
They all very well may be wrong and I have followed recruiting long enough to know surprised are to be expected, but I don't think they are all wrong this time.
With that said he will probably pick Vandy.
Some of those guys may get time at the 2/3, like Anderson. Some of those guys will spend time at the 4/5 as well, like Race Thompson. So I think we'll have more time to spread than just those 80 minutes. Only guess with the log jam at that spot.
I think those guys are just blowing smoke. Nobody knows for sure, especially well enough to wager $10k.
IMO the open gym announcement is a clear indicator he’s selecting IU. I just don’t see him picking KU in that environment, and I’ve always seen Vandy as 3rd in the horse race. Again, who knows. Certainly not some keyboard warrior wagering $10k he doesn’t have.
You forgot 5* Matthew Hurt also, and the answer is... I have no idea. In recruiting though, you keep all of your options open until they close themselves or you know 100% you don't have that need. Out of TJD, Brooks, Watford, and Hurt, who would you stop recruiting?
So after reading through this long and entertaining thread.. no leaks or anything on where this kid will end up?
