Yes that is accurate. When Knight got back to town and Vaughn wanted to visit Michigan he told Dakich to call and take back the offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both programs have advantages over the other and I don't think anyone could question why Romeo would want to play for a perennial contender. The Vanderbilt thing seems to offer nothing but the opportunity to play with one of his friends. Do not dismiss the power of coaching relationships. RL will dread making the, "thanks, but no thanks call to Drew". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation is that he means all 3, but I guess it could mean that my 3 didn't make it but 1 or 2 of them did. You're right that it doesn't clearly state that all 3 didn't make it, but I'd say it heavily implies it. After his list was cut to seven schools — Indiana, Kansas, Vanderbilt, Louisville, Kentucky, North Carolina and UCLA — Romeo, Tim and Sabrina each wrote down a top three. Tim admits his list included North Carolina. "My three didn't make it," Tim said. "My wife's three didn't make it. Romeo's three made it. So we made sure it's going to be his decision. And the three schools that he has are three great universities, any way you want to put it." UNC and UL were the spoilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter which way he decides to go, it will be a few gut wrenching phone calls. Which staff, at this point has the most invested in this recruitment?

Character builder for sure, made me think of the time my son said he wanted to quit his basketball team! he was only about 8 and the smallest kid in school so nobody passed the ball to him! I said OK, but you are going to have to tell the coach yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the fact these guys can change their pick 1 second before an announcement is comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 This is a really lame headline out of the Atlanta newspaper. Nothing has changed. I am going to link it for you guys to see....how clueless people in the South (Georgia and Kentucky in particular) in terms of Romeo's recruitment, really are. A commitment may be coming for 5-star SG Romeo Langford See.... it gives the impression a decision is imminent. And there is no mention of IU in the first paragraph.

dwtaylor1055 Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 As long as I keep hearing good things from @milehiiu and @CoachSS, I am good! Until I hear otherwise from either of them on this board, then I will start getting worried. They know their stuff for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danomatic Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 It’s Tuesday April 3rd, 2018 @10:05 AM. Still quiet on the Romeo front. I honestly can’t ever remember being this tuned into any recruitment before. 🍻 Here’s to another day of speculation and heresy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU and it isn't even close. Romeo may only have to call Archie, but we have put the full court press on him as a program in ways the other two could never have.

And have communicated about recruits and "IU Stuff" in the past. We really haven't communicated in terms of Romeo. My other sources are not hearing anything... as I have said last week.... anything we can put our teeth into in terms of Romeo. Does Birdman still post and if not do you communicate with him at all?
