FKIM01 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 8 hours ago, jv1972iu said: That's certainly a reasonable perspective from a college basketball fan. However, if you're Romeo and the ultimate goal is the nba, then you might not agree. This debate has been discussed numerous times over the years regarding one year players with lottery pick potential. And who knows, maybe Romeo puts his name into the draft to check out what the nba thinks and the feedback he gets is stay in school. I suppose that could happen. I think it's a lot more likely than I used to. With the mocks showing him sliding out of the lottery, I could absolutely see him staying an extra year to shore up some weak spots in his game. I also suspect that if this season lacks a satisfying ending, Romeo may well feel like he has unfinished business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if, as has been rumored, there is some internal strife, possibly brought on from jealousy, then Romeo is going to avoid that if the other side of the issue is coming back next year.

For certain. He's got to see a vision of a much better season next year or he cuts his losses and moves on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumors make me think a transfer or 2 will happen. Romeo could have a completely different lineup with him(except Phinisee). Hunter, TJD and Brooks with them gives me hope. Go Hoosiers!!!

NotIThatLives Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 There is really no rumors at this point, all speculation coming from a parent tweeting that is just as frustrated, probably more, as all of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s locker room beef, Archie knows it but it’s tough one to handle. I was told some things yesterday that make a lot of sense. There will be transfers, forced transfers.

McRoberts, Morgan, Fitzner are seniors and gone. The only other ones that could possibly be an issue would be Davis but I can't see him in that role.

Here is a question for many of the people on this board. Why does everyone assume that the issue is Smith and Green but they give all the new comers a pass? These players were on last years team and none of the issues we are having this year happened. Why does Romeo continue to get a pass on being the cancer? I havent noticed anyone questioning him as the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we as fans all know something has been up but I also applaud you not bringing it out especially if it's not true. Obviously we would welcome what you can share. Knowing it's a tough one to handle my guess is it has to be centered around Romeo. Other guys thinking they need some shots, looks.....but on the flip side Archie has to show the future 5 star guys that he will deliver on his recruiting promise to spotlight guys if they choose Indiana. I wouldn't want to make those calls....but if it were me and some guy who thinks he deserves 12 shots a game is complaining....he can hit the bricks.

Indykev Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 No one knows if there are issues or not. Guessing there is won't help a thing. We can all see with our own eyes what the issue is. No one can throw the ball in the frecking ocean. There has been players at IU in other seasons that other players hated everything about them and those teams won. Its really a non issue until the off season. Fix the shooting and this team wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t expect Archie to recruit many more 1 and dones. That’s not a slight on romeo but it just isn’t Archie’s style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
