I don’t know how there isn’t more heat on him, especially considering they have a kid sit out with eligibility issues like every single year. I completely agree with your take. It boggles my mind that Self doesn't get as much "hate" as Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierhoopster Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 ^^ Self routinely has eligibility issues, but I'm not prepared to put him and Cal in the same category. Cal left not one but two programs behind with vacated FFs. The amount of 'smoke' around Cal is worse than anyone. Maybe more comes out on Self (who is also twice the coach that Cal is), but as of now, Cal is the standard by which all dirty-but-not-caught-yet coaches should be measured.

Hoosierdave Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I was thinking about this...if Romeo were to announce at a location that would allow for as many people as desired to attend, how many people do you think would show up? I say somewhere between 7,000-9,000 people would come for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 WARNING ! Our rules prohibit political discussions. So I post this with the understanding that Romeo's recruitment has reached another level. And not as a political perspective. First there were businesses, with signs wanting him to come to IU. Then there was Taco Bell.... and live Mas Romeo, go to IU. Personally, I have got to say.... I have never seen anything like the facets Romeo's recruitment has taken. Not Eric Gordon. Not Cody Zeller. No one but, Romeo. Now.... a conflict for Hoosiers as to watch on April 30. Final Indiana GOP Senate debate may be overshadowed — by Romeo Langford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to remind our members that the same thing happened to Larry Brown at another university, (SMU) years later.

Brown got UCLA put on probation, but yet KU hires him. Brown exits Lawrence, and enter Roy. Hmmmmmmmmmm. I really aint old enough to remember Rupp at UK, but his successor Joe B. Hall was dirty. He exits Lexington and they hire Eddie Sutton. Sutton exits and Pittino enters........the problem is we are dealing with corrupt institutions.

I would say they’re in the same category, Self just hasn’t got busted yet for whatever reason. When you compare their tenures at KU and UK, there’s actually been a lot more smoke around Self than there has been around Cal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, 2) Romeo has never stated or implied wants to "get that money" as soon as possible, but rather that he "just loves the game" and has a genuine appreciation for school as well as basketball. I think Romeo has implied he's all about "the league". I don't hold it against him and I don't view it as selfish...but I think all I've ever heard him talk about is getting ready for "the league". This is pretty much every recruit, unfortunately. I would prefer to hear guys talk about winning...but here we are, where every Top 150 recruit in the country is going to the NBA.

When I played for Jim Shannon we shot a lot of free throws and u were to yell out your streak. If you made 20 in a row the coaches bought you a pop after practice. We had a player shoot over 90 percent for his career. At his senior awards the coaching staff brought in a full cart of cases of pop had to be at least 20 cases. Now days a coach would get fired for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone from the local Taco Bell had the expertise they would get a feed from the high school gym onto their big sign. Win-win for them. Diffuses some of the crowd, and folks could stop in for a quick dinner while waiting on the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
