He sat by Garland at the game. Here is what Garland said: "Me and Romeo, we have a great connection. We have played together [in AAU]. It’s cool. I met (four-star signee) Aaron [Nesmith] for the first time yesterday, and I am looking forward to building a relationship with both of them.” That doesn't sound great for IU.

IUwins0708 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 I’d love to get Romeo, but I honestly am enjoying the improvement of this team from the beginning of the season. If Romeo can’t see that then that’s on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 If "being part of the best class ever at Vandy" means more to Romeo than becoming an Indiana University Legend... Sorry, I just can't make sense of that... other than kids' psyches have changed. Leave your traditional-power homestate school cold to play second-fiddle to the hometown guy there? And "there" is Vanderbilt? I can't believe I'm even typing this lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy1987 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 And Vandy comes back to beat Florida. Would have rather Romeo seen a loss but oh well. Go Hoosiers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLHoosier Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Rabjohns and Bozich both linked that article and each said “So Vanderbilt allows recruits to be interviewed while on visits, interesting” or something like that. Is that uncommon or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to admit dbm, I couldn't get a read on you, but I think I figured you out. You said the below four days ago and then say the above tonight in case he does commit to Vandy, so that you could say “told ya so”. In one you say “I think the floodgates open if he committs”, which says you don’t know whether he will or won’t and in the other you pretty much say it’s been a done deal for awhile and only the uninformed don’t know. So which is it? I gather that like the rest of us, you’re uninformed too. “Don't you think if by some chance we land Romeo our odds of getting TJD and Brooks go up? I think the floodgates open if he commits.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never thought we had a shot. I have been wrong before but not often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOSIER1321 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 At this point his picking Vandy over IU says a lot more about Langford than it does about IU. I've been to both gyms THIS year. Seen both teams play THIS year. It isn't even close. If he goes elsewhere, IU will be just fine. Great recruiting class coming next year, and if the progress I'm seeing this year continues I believe Romeo will be remembered as the last great one from Indiana that got away, not the next one in a continuing line. This isn't a "I never wanted him anyway" post. It just doesn't seem losing him will hurt as much as it seemed 6 months ago. Indiana basketball seems headed in the right direction with or without him.

Very very few here are not uninformed when it comes to Romeo. I'm not excusing name-calling here or calling us all stupid...just saying that realistically, maybe 1-2 posters here have any idea what Romeo is really thinking and I honestly don't think DBM is among that very small group. CoachSS may be close to informed, but even he is not saying it's a done deal anywhere. ...and DBM is perpetually cynical (why I affectionately call him Eeyore). I take what he says with a grain of salt much as I do with HTD, our resident homer and Smellermaker-Hater. It's only an educated (but uninformed) guess. Much like mine which thinks IU is sitting in great shape even though the game is not over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
