Personally and professionally. He actually still believed Conley and Oden were coming before that announcement. Scary. Does he remember the letter addressed to Sherron Collins that he mailed to Conley? It basically said that we were only pretending to recruit Conley because wanted Oden.

There will not be any back lash there regardless who he chooses. I know a quite of few New Albany fans who will make the journey to Vandy if he chooses them. I believe this, they love the kid down there. I guess it depends on how many New Albany fans show up as opposed to IU fans from out of the area.

I remember sitting in his office at Assembly Hall before Conley/Oden announcing (month before) having to remain professionally cordial.....but in my mind I'm sitting there as an IU fan thinking is this guy clueless?? Wasn't his fault. He had no business being in that situation. Leadership was to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say there won't be any NA students at the announcement, but it will be largely made up of IU fans. Of course the school could let the students go straight to the gym after the final bell, and then open the doors to the public. I would love to have my food truck parked outside.

I can't believe I never knew about this but a quick google search even pulls up the most scathing article I've ever read about Mike Davis by Jason Whitlock who references the letter...crazy...http://www.espn.com/espn/page2/story?page=whitlock/060216 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were over 3000 season ticket holders this season for New Albany. Sold out regionals and sectionals in a stadium holding over 8000 with mostly NA fans. So if you are going to his announcement and you do not live in New Albany then I suggest to you to get there early. Probably in the AM.

Danomatic Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 There would certainly be an uncomfortable silence if he announced for Kansas or Vandy. I’m not saying that anyone would act out, but it would be awkward, no doubt. Also, I’d contest that there weren’t just New Albany fans filling the gymnasiums over the past two years... I know that there were probably hundreds from surrounding areas that traveled to watch him during the regular season. And probably an additional two to three thousand during the postseason. I’m guessing here, but there was well over a hundred people from Madison alone, who traveled and watched him play the entire year. It isn’t often that we have a player of that caliber in Southern Indiana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerawkid Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 5 hours ago, Seeking6 said: He raised $6M for a quick announcement show. Myriad of other ways doesn't include $3.5 Million of Ad Revenue. Oh well. I'll get back to Romeo...didn't want to send this thread elsewhere (again). Haha. He’s arguably the most prolific professional athlete in North America. Myriad of other ways still applies. Host a telethon. Do a walkathon. Have a televised Lebron house party with musical guests and entertainment. The announcement was still a crummy, wholly unnecessary thing to do to the fans of Cleveland. Edit: Apologies for the OT nature of this post and my previous, I’ll endeavor to get back to the regularly scheduled Romeo programming now.

mrflynn03 Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I know I'm just some random dude, but I work with a young guy who i got to talking about romeo with who says his girlfriend works with romeo's mom. What his girlfriend heard is basically the reason why vanderbilt is on his list is because its not too far away and he has some family in the Nashville area. With IU he likes that its close to home and he really loves indiana people and IU fan base. No mention of Kansas. Its noy much butthought I would pass it along and do my part to get to 250 pages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proud2BAHoosier Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 I'm cornfused!! I go off to work and come home and check the Romeo thread and see posts of possible "backlashes". Has something happened since I went to bed last night? Did some of the experts change their picks? Help a guy with a banana IQ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green, Durham, and Phinisee will compete for starting PG spot. I really want to see one of the bigs to step up at 5 spot so Morgan won't have to guard guys much bigger than him.
