I would have thought it would be the brain sandwich for indiana. I have replicated the Connecticut steamed burger using a tuna can and vegetable steamer. Turned out very good.

I'm in now way shape or form comparing this kid to OG or Oladipo as these guys are key contributors and an all star NBA guys. Only about 400 something of them in the world to be clear. I will remind everyone of how Olidpo shot the ball his sophomore year and then progressed the speed of release as he got better and better.

One of the articles on him mentioned that the slow release is due to making sure he is all squared up before taking the shot. I assume the shot will get quicker with more reps once his body gets the "squared up" muscle memory set.

I'll be honest here. I haven't got this kind of vibe about an IU recruit since Vic. I sensed that Vic was going to be special before he came on campus because of the way he played, the things he did, and what he said. Getting the same feeling with Jordan G.

Before we shared this widely on social media, we wanted to drop HSN the first glimpse at our long conversation with Jordan Geronimo. Read the full interview with Jordan Geronimo here! Some quotes I think HSN will love: "I like the sound of the squeaking on the hardwood. I don’t know how to explain it." "My brain is like 'Wake up, work out, get better, wake up, work out, get better.'" "It's not the things he said, it's the way he said them. That's what made me trust him." "I just knew that I wouldn't get another school like Indiana in terms of basketball. Indiana is as good as it gets. I didn't want to waste my time elsewhere. Indiana basketball is top notch. Basketball is what is important over there. I just thought Indiana was a great place to get. I thought the coaching staff was amazing. Coach Miller is a great person, the people of Indiana are great people, and the basketball coaches were the icing on top that made me say, 'Alright, I want to be here.'"

Completely agree. I was more just debating the "I don't want any OAD's after the seasons we had in EJ and Langford's years". I also agree with you that injuries are the primary reason IU did not have a better season last year. I've been pretty vocal that IMO if you take away some of the key injuries (Phinisee, Langford, Davis) that IU walks into the NCAA Tournament last year.

This kid really has the 'feel' of an Oladipo. Carries a good vibe, enthusiastic with energy, explosive, athletic, serious student/smart kid, under-the-radar / game starting to surge with his athleticism, very high ceiling. Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing Geronimo take off at IU Edit -- btw, watch some of his clips, dunk off the backboard in traffic ... deep 3 ... rebound and put back in traffic ... open court steal leading to a breakaway and windmill dunk at the other end. Oh yeah.

Exactly!! Can force myself to root for the Celtics but had no problem getting Ayden a 45 Celtics Jersey

There you go -- a guy who gave us his all while he was here, and was drafted in the lottery after one season, immediately contributing and participating in recruiting for our, and his, IU. Hats off to Romeo!
