If by some chance was in response to what supposedly was said in Peegs chat and by Milehi earlier in the week. I've never thought we had a shot. I have been wrong before but not often. Just to be clear. I have never said Romeo to IU. Unlike you, who now is saying 99% to Vanderbilt. All I have said is that IU is still in the hunt. And our chances have continued to improve, especially recently as since Archie became HC. If IU were not still in the hunt, then why would Tim Langford be telling people that another trip to IU just to tour the facilities and academics is still in the offing ? Now... things do change over time. And if you can't understand that. I can't help you. Once again... unlike you have just stated, I have never said Romeo is coming to IU. Just want to make that perfectly clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you just saying 99% in case he pulls a Jared Jeffries? No one can ever be 100 percent. Even if he verballed tomorrow it's not 100 percent until the ink is dry. See the Colts and Josh Mcdaniels. I will say pay attention to where he's announcing. If it's at the McDonald's game as expected it's over. If by some remote chance elsewhere maybe we have a shot.

BGleas Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Gotta admit, I’ve been really optimistic about this recruitment, mainly because Vandy makes absolutely zero sense, like really none at all. But that all changed today. I was telling my kids about Langford today while we were waiting in the drive thru at Chick-fil-A. Telling them how he’s chasing the Indiana scoring record and how we really want him to go to IU. I turn around and look at the car in front of me and what do I see? A Vanderbilt license plate holder. No lie. That has to be a sign, right? We were in PA, so completely random to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for him to come, but I really love the talent we already have coming in next year. Hunter isn’t quite as good as Romeo, but he no slouch. P.S. Don’t go outside of Indiana again until this recruitment is over. Probably no Vandy plates here 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd about guarantee at least a couple more up and down cycles before Romeo announces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Can we make a pact not to freak out about positive comments Langford makes after his visit today? Recruits always say good things after a visit, always. He’s going to say good things, just like he said good things when visiting IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Tim Langford seems too smart to me to sit there and watch a Vandy game in person, and then let his son pick that school over IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's reading into it, though. Yeah I read that too, I don't understand why it's bad. What do we expect Darius Garland to say? , doesn't mean anything with regards to Romeo.

If that's true I think Vandy may be unable to talk to him until the recruitment is over. Isn't that what happened with Gary Harris and our secondary violation.

FKIM01 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 About the only thing I can say with a reasonable amount of assurance is that Romeo's school choice is not a done deal. At one point, he was a lock for Louisville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 Whether Romeo comes or not, I have full confidence in Archie to lead us to greatness once again. Also, I have full confidence that Archie will one day not have IU battling Vanderbilt or maybe ANYONE for 5 star Indiana kids... The future is bright.

HoosierCPA Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'd bet big, big money on IU if they played vandy next year even if vandy were to get Romeo. Id love to have the kid but the way we're playing with Archie ball, we'll be fun to watch next year. Even more so than this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 According to a post on another site, A poster on Peegs said his dad refereed Rob Phinisee's game tonight and asked Rob where he thought Romeo was going to go, and Rob said Vandy.

Did you seriously write that!?!?!?! 3 years ago, you guaranteed Crean was fired at the end of the season. You said Archie would be a horrible choice for Head Coach, and if Glass selected him, you were done with IU forever. You have been consistently wrong, to the point that either you are making things up, or your sources are other internet message board posters. Seriously, stop posting absolutes, and pretending you are connected to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Winston Garland say all those great things about IU that made many to believe IU was the clear front runner when it's obvious we were never in it? I can't get into Mr. Langford's mind. However it is a fact that before going to the Vandy game on Saturday.... he is on record as saying that an additional trip to Bloomington is a possibility. And not to see a game. One thing, I think we all have come to know is that the Langford's have set a plan and have followed through with their plans, without exception. So, knowing that... if the Langford's don't make another trip to Bloomington before an announcement date that will be very telling, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nesquik1 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 I’ll be glad once this thing is over. Devils advocate and Romeo picks Vandy, IU staff looking at anybody else to fill the final scholarship? Grad transfer would be nice but I remember reading something not too long ago about the admissions to IU making it harder to receive grad transfers than other schools.

I will say that if he decides to not announce at the McDonald's game, which Romeo said he may or may not, then that could be good news for IU fans...or Kansas. If Garland isn't there when he makes his choice, it's less likely to be Vanderbilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 18, 2018 Report Share Posted February 18, 2018 If Romeo chooses Vandy I'll be done with 5 star recruiting forever as it relates to in state prospects. Don't drag us along, don't include is in your list for notoriety and attention....getting very tired of spring verbals and some of these recent 5 star guys. Unfortunately for the Keion Brooks of the world. I won't be paying attention one bit to his decision if Romeo (and his Dad) have been stringing us along.
