We need a suprise commitment like this. I was hoping he was the "Big Fish" we were getting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like the only uncommitted target from 2019. I think some other names have come up, but none have been involved as long as him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zlinedavid Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Trendon is looking pretty good for waiting. He could have been locked in to LSU or Bama long ago, and in all likelihood, the staffs he would have committed to won't be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want recruits wrapped up in November but tons of risk doing it early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierDom Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 Saw a video from the other day where he was asked about college and in his one sentence answer he brought up his brother being a big part of his decision process.

Its who the other players are and he will still be coached by former NBA players. Can UNLV really afford to hire a guy who's never been a head coach? They have fallen hard off the map. Not the only game in town now with hockey, NFL coming, other basketball being played there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume they don't have the pull to steal away an up and comer that is already a head coach somewhere, so a former NBA guy that seems to be super popular with recruits is a swing for the fences move. It certainly is possible that he can't coach, but maybe he can and it is very possible he can up their recruiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he told them 4 times or 104 or just 1 or 0. Unless KB or a member of the staff are honest and come out and say we will never know. Now will we? What I do know for certain is that in Mid December talks among RP, AF ,TJD KB AND RL, about how they would be playing for a national championship next year were very much real. For anyone saying that RL was 1 and Done without question that is not correct. Did the losing streak and internal issues cost us KB? No but it did allow those other schools to get BACK into it. Follow those other schools recruiting as well as our own and we all can see that KB was IU bound. Instead Dad bought what CAL was selling and sold it to JR. The guys that we are currently watching and those we have offers to are still hearing lots of negatives about us. As much as I dislike CAL i have heard that he just sells his program without bashing ours but many others are using this season CAM's future etc... against us.

Romeo to UL was virtually a done deal but would have kept options open to go through the recruiting process, Romeo was not sold on IU until the last month of his recruitment. This info is from a source I very much respect that has had multiple interactions with the father of Romeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a text from someone as close to this one as you can be. This is the only recruit that i can say that my info was coming from someone in the process of making a decision. I got that text on Feb 22. It read" Happy Birthday, Romeo to IU have a great day!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
