IU Scott Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 6 minutes ago, hoosierdaddy said: Bridges stayed a year which may have hurt stock, but Izzo put a role player top 5 in JJJ. Null effect. I am just saying that if Romeo decides he wants to play one more year of college basketball that would not make IU look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if he is going top-3 and chooses to stay for personal reasons, that would be different. As long as Archie keeps him a top-5, we can call it a success as a one-and-done -- something we need to showcase for top recruits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't follow that. I know he is not Cody but Cody was considered top 10 before and after Freshman season. I just don't see it as a downside as long as he stays near the top. There have been some top 3 picks from crappy teams. If a guy chooses to come back to help his team achieve something special it is a win win for the program.

Guys’ projected slots change depending on all kinds of factors and who is doing the projection. He’ll probably be top 5 to 8 or so but you’ve got Euro possibilities and could be bigs who could go ahead of him etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 If Romeo is a top 5 prospect in the 2019 draft, stays at IU for another year and still goes top 5 in 2020, and as a bonus leads IU to the Final Four, give me more scenarios that look 'bad'. on iU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGIUAndy Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 There is no way he stays if he is a top 5 pick. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwtaylor1055 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 not sure if this was mentioned or not but Josh Gershon on 247 made/updated his crystal ball pick for TJD yesterday evening. Cant view it because I'm not VIP but IU is still 100% for the prediction so chalk another prediction up for IU I would assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're looking at the specifics of JJJ, and probably knew him as a recruit in Indiana. I live in Miami and no one knew of JJJ and the consensus was 'wow' after his summer league performance. 3 hours ago, 5fouls said: If Romeo is a top 5 prospect in the 2019 draft, stays at IU for another year and still goes top 5 in 2020, and as a bonus leads IU to the Final Four, give me more scenarios that look 'bad'. on iU If we're living in dream-scenario world, let's have him stay a 3rd year as a top-5 prospect and win it all as a Junior?

CapnRon Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Yea trimming PU is big especially if he wants to stay local. Let's let him enjoy this process, it's once in a lifetime.

To say he isn’t an IU lock is only natural...otherwise he would be committed lol. He is using his time to make his visits. The important thing is PU will not get the chance to make a pitch. That can only be taken as good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
