So glad to hear he has done a lot in the community, it's obvious the youth in NA and southern Indiana LOVE Romeo, heck the adults do. I think at the end of the day he won't be able to say no to all of us. Honestly the fans were the difference maker. Agree btown...... I've said a few times on this epic thread that if Romeo goes elsewhere it won't be because of anything the coaching staff or fans haven't done to show RL we really want him.

I will pull for a Hammond in his pro career before I will a Lyles. At least Hammond stayed in state. The guys who leave Indiana to go out of state to another school give me no reason to root for them. Romeo goes to Kansas or Vanderbilt, I will not wish him any ill will, but I will not actively be rooting for him either. I just will not care at that point. yet Hammond left the state to finish his high school career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live in his 'little' town, and I will still root for him and follow his career regardless of his choice. You must have missed all of the news stories about the quality of the young man off the court. His college choice does not change his level of character. If he does not choose IU, he would be doing it for reasons that are best for him. How someone could talk about 'discarding him like garbage' when he makes HIS choice is beyond me.

I can't see a lot fans making a trip to Kansas or Vandy to watch him play. I would not necessarily travel to those places to watch him play, but I would be 8,000,000 more times likely to sit and watch a Vandy game than I would be otherwise.

milehiiu Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 Just a thought on my part.... relative to Romeo's comment about not wanting to alienate his NA fans. Perhaps he was referring to NA people who are Vandy fans rather than IU fans. As I say... just a thought. May not hold water. Just seems to me that being close to Vandy... there may be a few Vandy fans in NA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still would be more likely to root for him than Lyles because he made his way back here. Honestly, without the IU connection I really do not care much what they do. Just my personal opinion. Without the IU connection they are just another guy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Fouls, there are many reasons all of these kids - athletes choose a school and program, and all are their own. If he chooses IU fantastic, if he chooses to go elsewhere then best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADegenerate Posted April 28, 2018 Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 I don’t think they’d be confident if they are guessing. Seems to be a lot of negative vibes at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
