KDB Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 1 minute ago, Seeking6 said: Just found this from NCAA rules on coaches initiating contact during a players Senior Year. Might explain why Archie wasn't there (so he sent players instead) because he's either used a good chunk of visits up or wants to save 1-2 for down the road? Senior year: College coaches can contact recruits and/or their parents off the college’s campus up to seven times. Makes sense why he didn't go with this rule. He may as well wait until closer to the spring, when Romeo plans to announce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pretty much explains it unless someone can come along and tell me otherwise. Of course the other theory is we are out of it so who knows? Haha..

I’m a huge IU fan and I’ve missed 2 games...and I watched the ISU game. He watched Kansas/UK. What basketball player didn’t watch that game?!? Plus the fact that if one is not a subscriber to BTN2Go, it would have been easy to miss several of our early games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Just saw an UL insider pick KU on his crystal ball selection. The predictions. for Langford is really going down for IU now it is IU 44%, VU 39% and KU 11%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't land big players. IU isn't a draw for top players. I don't see it changing anytime soon either. GL to all you guys who have the nerve to follow this recruiting stuff from here on out. Burned myself for 10 years and did it again by following the Garland thread. I highly doubt we land Romeo and I'm bowing out of following that one. Top kids want to play with top players. I did warn you all when the hype train was going crazy. IU fans live in a bubble of unrealistic expectations. Sorry fellas but it's the truth. (Just don't want people to get there hopes up here with this one.) 2003 - 79th Ewing 2004 - 15th White, 76th Ratliff, 99th Rothbart 2005 - 93rd Allen 2006 - None 2007 - 2nd Gordon, 78th Holman, 95th McGee, 2008 - None 2009 - 35th Watford 2010 - None 2011 - 10th Zeller 2012 -21st, Yogi, 36th, Hollowell, 53rd Perea 2013 - 11th Vonleh, 53rd Williams , 64th Robinson , 95th Fischer 2014 - 19th Blackmon, 49th Johnson 2015 - 20th Bryant 2016 - 40th, Davis, 85th Jones 2017 - 77th Smith 2018 - 63rd Hunter, 95th Anderson Yet Vanderbilt with a lesser track record landed 2 top players and is going to get Romeo over IU?

If a Basketball school came calling DG might not even play for Drew. That would be funny. My thoughts exactly. If IU came calling Drew instead of Archie last year, then Drew would be here instead. I'm glad we have Archie even if we missed out on DG. It will suck if we miss out on RL, but one player is never going to make or break IU basketball. We just had a coaching change so it's going to take time to see the changes on the court and on the recruiting trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the basketball season ends anything like the football season this could actually happen. Tennessee, Texas A&M, Florida, UCLA, Arizona St, and Nebraska all opened before conference championship games have been played. That timing has to look nice to a coach looking to make a jump. I think the UL job is already available since I doubt they hire Padgett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rico Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Romeo can go wherever he wants. Do I want him in Bloomington? Yes. But I won't lose any sleep over it if he doesn't come. Been an IU fan all my life and to be honest there have been a lot of "Romeos" we have missed out on. Kyle Macy, Scott Skiles, Rick Fox, and Eric Montross come to mind. Just relax.......it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think IU is in great hands with Archie regardless of what Langford does. But with all that said, the point is imagine if IU had landed those guys? How many titles or minimum Final Fours if IU had landed those guys? No the program isn’t going to disappear if we don’t get the top guys, but how far does it go if we do land Langford, Brooks, TJD, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much better would this years team be with Kyle Guy and Jaren Jackson and/Kris Wilkes.

It's a good read. I'm pretty impressed by this young man if he really said what was on his mind. I like his demeanor and approach. He seems to be someone with great inner strength who doesn't easily swayed by noises. Now I really want him at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proud2BAHoosier Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 So..... Romeo hasn't watched any IU games yet. If he doesn't watch arguably the biggest game of the year for the Hoosiers tomorrow night, against the #1 Duke Blue Devils, on national TV, something is wrong!!!
