Billingsley99 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Not real surprised by that. If they offered Bowen why would we think they didnt make an offer to Romeo. Sure the PU fans will love seeing this. Just like us getting RP, had to be shady. No other way that a kid from Lafayette would choose IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Glad to see Bill Self on the list. Need Roy Williams and john Calipari in there as well. ...and Isaiah Whitehead doesn't surprise me. Never got a good feeling about that one and wasn't upset that Crean missed. I'm assuming Williamson, Langford and Little are listed simply because they were targets. I think those guys were too late for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacarcio Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 This shouldn't be an eligibility issue could it? He should already be cleared with all this FBI stuff going around right ha? Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUCrazy2 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Romeo's name is probably popping up because of Pitino trying to take him down with him... https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/2018/05/16/rick-pitino-adidas-tried-keep-romeo-langford-company-sponsored-school/615426002/ Remember it was an IU guy who broke the stripper story and it was someone in the IU AD that gave Louisville the heads up....

FKIM01 Posted October 2, 2018 Report Share Posted October 2, 2018 Meh...not concerned. (1) No way Archie bent the rules in the face of that scandal. (2) If Romeo took money, he would have read the tea leaves and just just skipped college like Brian Bowen did. I'm not saying it wasn't offered, but I'm confident that even IF the family was predisposed to taking cash, they weren't yet to that stage in the recruitment when all hell broke loose. I'm confident there's nothing to see here. I'd be slightly more concerned if Romeo was a year older and had started the recruiting process a year earlier. End result...nothing in this kid's character indicates he's for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Lol....Juwan's eyes lol...that was a pretty sick move. Not sure if more concerning that they've never taken the time to look at his highlights or that they've not seen anything better yet in practice. Either way that was priceless!

FKIM01 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 " Williamson is one of the most unique prospects we’ve scouted. Standing 6-foot-6, Williamson is a power forward with insane vertical athleticism, measuring a Duke max vertical record of 45-inches. " ...which is 3 inches less than Justin Smith's max vertical.

dgambill Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 4 minutes ago, Billingsley99 said: There is just something about him that screams NBA flop to me Maybe...but if he works on his jumper he honestly has the body and athleticism to be the next Charles Barkley. Sadly he will likely stand around the 3pt line like the rest of the NBA and shoot a putrid percentage instead of working on dominating the 10-18 foot range like he should.

He might be successful at the college level by just bulling people over but that crap won't fly in the NBA. I could definitely see a flop if he doesn't expand his game a lot. 6'6" PFs are almost unheard of in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously he is going to have to improve his shooting but Dremond Green is roughly same size and even plays center sometimes. I think he would continue to slim down some in the NBA as the baby fat comes off and they get him into their nutrition plans etc but his size I don’t think will limit him in the NBA...it will come down to how well he improves his shooting and all around game. I agree though when things come easy you use your athleticism and size to win but when he finally gets out sized and against better athletes he will definitely have to improve or he won’t make it I do agree with that.
