IU and Kansas. At 50-50 I'm not seeing Kansas. He would be 'just another 5 star recruit' there. At IU, UL, and Vandy, he would be so much more.

Though the subject did not come up in the interview.... perhaps this info was shared with Kent, after the interview ? TMI.... Kent graduated from New Albany.

Kent graduated from New Albany. Well, I disagree with his information. And, in my opinion, that's irresponsible journalism on his part. You don't publicly make that type of announcement one day after talking to a player's coach. Even if it didn't come from Jim Shannon, the timing gives the appearance that it might have. That makes things a little awkward for the player and the coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing gives the appearance it came from Shannon. By the way. Shannon seems like a really neat coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbmhoosier Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Kansas has always worried me. Self never recruits like Cal or Coach K but he always seems to land a top 5 guy almost every year. I do think playing close to home is important to Romeo. I'm liking our chances the more I hear.

IUwins0708 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Heard this morning that there very well could be 2 5 star guys committing to Indiana. Arch is doing work boys! Garland and Romeo, that would set Bloomington on fire. We have a very legitimate shot at getting both. I'm told they are good buddies?? I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know I certainly believe it's possible, just curious where the 2nd scholarship is coming from, and when that player will let it be known they are leaving....

Probably shortly after the season ends and shortly before Romeo commits, which apparently unlike Garland, is still not likely to happen much before the spring signing period.

5fouls Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 When Archie took the job, he gave the impression that he would be conservative in handing out schollies. I'm having a hard time believing that he would put us in a position to use the oversign before he even coaches a game. The last scholly is for Romeo, and if Garland wants to get on board, he's going to have to wait for something to open up. If nothing does, then he's not going to come here (assuming Romeo does).

I agree with the first part of your post. Which makes me wonder, if we are still after Garland hard (let's be fair, the last scholarship is for Romeo), then will we see a transfer soon?

FW_Hoosier Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'm predicting that if we land Garland and Langford, Durham and one of CuJo/Green won't be on the team in 2018. But I agree that there's little chance Garland will take the last available scholly before Langford does in the spring. Garland's recruitment has been all over the place.

kyhoosier29 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 There is always a plan when it comes to scholarships. The coaches and players know a lot more than we do. There may have been some guys, whether we like it or not, that were given "prove it to me" conditions for this year, or certain guys have other plans that don't involve staying four years. We just never know, but things always happen that are not expected. I'm guessing that Archie would take both Garland and Langford if they wanted to be here.

ADegenerate Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 The IU + Kansas 50/50 seems like a pretty strong assumption.. in fact I'd almost call it pure bull. I find it hard to believe that Pitino is this deep into recruiting him for UL to be out of it. You know he's going to be applying the pressure and is really going to make it tough on Romeo to say no. The deeper we get in this recruitment the better our chances seem to be getting though. Here's to hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
