milehiiu Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 6 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Why did you decide not to tell what you are hearing because it is very helpful to us fans who has no inside info. All I have heard is that IU is still very much in the hunt. Nothing about a final decision. I did report, what has been published about Romeo possibly making another trip to Bloomington to check out the facilities and some academic aspects. And I have said if that happens, I feel that would be a good sign. And conversely , if an additional visit does not happen, that could be very telling as well. Bottom line... at present..( unlike some Vandy people claim to have).... I have no inside intel as to where Romeo will land. Should that change, you guys will be the first to know, as long as I get clearance to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 7 minutes ago, IU Scott said: Why were you asked not to say anything LOL...he probably can't answer that either. The general answer though, is that people often say things in confidence that they don't want vomited all over a public fan forum...and sometimes, the kid just doesn't want his thunder stolen. I respect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea how much truth there is to it. All I know is my source would not relay that info just to draw attention. This thing is so fluid. It seems that some of the posters on here seem to be "putting the cart before the horse" whether it's pro-IU or against IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will never change. Speaking for myself, I am always appreciative of it. And I think it is what helps a site such as ours go around. Having said that, I dislike it when members... willing to share.... get chastised when what they bring to us does not pan out the way some had hoped. In that respect, I feel it is counterproductive.... in that people with info to share, are reluctant to do so, because they don't want to get called out on the carpet for something they reported... but did not turn out the way it was told to them. Things DO change over time. I can and always give the answer of Jeffries. On the night before he announced if I reported that he had decided on Duke, because that is what he told his parents, and then his parents told me it was ok to offer to the board..... it still does not mean it was not true.... the night before he announced. He simply changed his mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artesian_86 Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yep....I remember it like it was yesterday. That was when Peegs was the only thing I followed. Hoosiersportsnation, in my opinion, is the only place to get the best, most accurate and up to date information out there anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, due to legal concerns, we chose not to actively solicit members from our last platform. Thanks to members like FKIMO1, many were able to matriculate to our new home. And surprisingly, more and more find us nearly on a daily basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-hOhL Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I know Romeo doesn't show a lot of emotion and seeing him smile is a rarity. I will also add that this is a single moment in a likely lengthy visit to Nashville BUT I am an optimist and pictures say a thousand words. See below, compare, and absorb the good vibes from the IU pic. It helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotIThatLives Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Where is LongDukDong? We need him to come and spread some reverse psychology while single handily ticking everyone else in the process. I personally thought he was funny and just trying to be funny by being contrary. Some fell hook, line, and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Someone needs to make sure the Langford's see this. No NBA team is doing this for a player from Vandy, that's for sure... ...I hope nobody does a search and finds something like this for a former Vandy player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said his information was that Romeo WAS going to take an additional IU visit, per Tim Langford. I asked him if her "might" be making the IU visit. He said no, he was told he "will" be making that visit. Quote Edit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't tell whether it's the family giving IU one last chance since they've had less time to recruit Romeo, or that this trip is to silence any doubts Romeo and his family have about the program.
