This would be the last spot. I have not seen where Romeo has declared so his spot is not open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The default assumption is that he's leaving and it looks like that's the coaching staff's assumption too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that if he was definitely leaving it would have already been announced and I do think there is a descent chance he is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must be trying to get fired unless they know some "known name Indiana kid is transferring." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson Kellogs Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/03/31/indiana-basketball-recruiting-new-interest-jake-laravia-and-jalen-windham-iu-purdue/3328205002/ There seems to be some late interest in Windham from Ben Davis. Even though he is under the radar and doesn't have any major high level offers, I think this kid is worth taking a chance on. Ben Davis produces very good athletes and players, great example Aaron Henry. This kid is 6'5" and supposedly shot a high percentage. He seems like a kid that won't back down and will have a "dawg" like mentality. Let's get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to play devils advocate, Brooks wasn't a 'Langford replacement' and since the season has ended there's actually been very little chatter surrounding IU and Beverly or Quinones. IU has been mentioned as pursuing Kira Lewis, but so has every other school and that seems like a long shot, and there really isn't any other chatter at the moment with IU and wings/guards except for Windham. It's really early in the offseason, but it actually seems like IU isn't hard after guards/wings at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love diamonds but if this staff doesn't bring in any starter material outside of TJD this off season I think it's a greater indication that the staff knows things we don't ie Romeo or a know transfer that fits in his place.

In fairness, I believe the insiders on this and other boards said part of the pitch to Keion was as a Langford replacement (scoring wing). I could be wrong on that but I thought that was shared more than once in the Keion thread. This came after your post here but someone just shared in the Quinones thread that he is setting up an official visit to IU. Nobody on this board knows whether Romeo is staying or going but I'm just looking at the probability. What's the probability that he stays? He's still a lottery pick I believe, the season was not a success, the locker room / team chemistry was a mess. I'd say a 10% probability of him returning is generous. So I have about 90% confidence that Romeo's spot is open and the staff is pursuing a guard to fill out the roster. I could absolutely be wrong on this but it looks pretty clear to me that he's gone.

Don't you think a thank you is in order? You do realize my post is what got the Quinones official locked in, right? Or did you miss my post over the weekend where I said IU was cursed and it was a lock that Duke, UK and Purdue were making the Final Four? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically Christian would love for him to go to IU but they’re super close and at the end of the day wants to do right by a Trendon. Also said Trendon wants the team to be his and so the idea that Romeo is leaving and Trendon could theoretically take over the team is intriguing to him. Christian actually asked the guys if Romeo was leaving and that because Romeo was leaving gave the idea Trendon would be more interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 I wonder how things are going with Windham. I haven't heard much awhile. We have 5 slots open for now, so there is TJD, Franklin, and hopefully Brunk. There is flexibility for a couple of more. We know Quinones and Watford would be ideal, but Windham being in the mix is interesting too. His ranking seems unrealistically low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like his background and would assume he would be a junkyard dog type with a lot of motivation to prove that he was ranked too low. I can't see a sense of entitlement with this kid.
