Oh I'm sure IU has plenty of stupid fans. I was thinking more on the whole and especially this forum where the majority of fans are definitely smarter than the average bear. For the record though, I would never translate "not very intelligent" as "somewhat intelligent". LOL...interesting choice of words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which again goes back to context, and the fact that we have none of it in regards to Crean's tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have to understand the context, IMHO. What type of interactions occurred prior to that tweet, in my mind would play into how the tweet would be received by the person who was the subject of the tweet. In other words.... as I am attempting to get across, we really need to know the relationship between the tweeter and tweetee, to really understand the true meeting of the tweet.

I'm wondering how nobody knows who the tweet was directed to? Is it a recruit or not? lol For me personally, if I was a recruit I would think this guy wants to be with me lol or has the worst social skills in the world.

Haven't heard anything different. Will be a very interesting couple of weeks here. I kind of hope that Romeo has to delay his decision until April and chooses to announce at his high school. That way, we can at least destroy the narrative that the fan backlash is why he decided to commit this late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
china423 Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2018/03/12/romeo-langford-pins-down-when-hell-reveal-college-decision/418077002/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Quote New Albany High School's Romeo Langford will make his college choice between April 13 and April 30, his father, Tim, told IndyStar on Monday. The timing for Romeo, the nation's top-ranked uncommitted recruit, is defined by his more immediate plans: Win a state championship. Play in the McDonald’s All-American game March 28. Play the Jordan Brand Classic April 8 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Play the Nike Hoop Summit April 13 at the Moda Center in Portland. And then… announce his college choice: Indiana, Vanderbilt or Kansas. “We want to get all this out of the way,” Tim Langford said Monday. “It will be before the end of April, but we want to focus where we need to be focused and move forward from there.” Tim Langford said he and his son talked Sunday night about how they want to make the announcement. They are considering several options, including making the announcement at the school or perhaps out in the community, with New Albany Mayor Jeff Gahan helping to reveal Romeo’s decision. “I just told him any kind of way you want to do it,” Tim Langford said. “We want you to be comfortable.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have a definite window for the announcement. Makes sense, what with the all-star games, and Romeo's dedication to team. One step at a time.

He'd have plenty of opportunities to announce on a national stage after the high school season, far away from IU fans, if he wanted to. Instead, he's planning on doing it in front of a large pro-IU crowd. Very positive vibes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted March 12, 2018 Report Share Posted March 12, 2018 This will stir the pot... and perhaps get the attention of Vandy people. The Langford's are considering Galan helping to make the announcement ! Just to let you guys know, that the mayor of the great city of New Albany attended ...... what for it...... INDIANA UNIVERSITY ! Also.... just last week.... I was informed that Mrs. Galan is a HUGH IU fan ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Louisville was still in this, I think there would be some worry there. However, after the crowds being extremely pro IU throughout the state tournament, I do not see that kind of a setup to tick off the home fans. Shorter: I am really starting to like our chances here.
