CauseThatsMyDJ Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 According to 247, Purdue hasn't offered. Only high major offers are Xavier, Butler and Ohio State. He's emerging for sure. Will be interesting to see if IU does start to show significant interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Romeo will be in college at least two years, and possibly longer. And, they play the same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think it means the smart play is you recruit like normal until he IS signed. And, like said above, no doubt they can coexist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderson, Hunter, and even Romeo for that matter can play the 2 and 3. Hunter could probably even play the 4. There is plenty of room for another guard.

Seeking6 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Franklin is a 19 recruit and no offense to him as a player but his recruitment has zero to do with Romeo. Romeo is a one and done guy wherever he ends up. Franklin's recruitment will be impacted more by as others mentioned Hunter, Anderson,etc.....and how immediately Franklin can see the floor. He'll fighting those 2 for minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't expect that entire group to be here by his SO year.... I'm sure one in that group won't be happy with PT, especially if the upperclassmen haven't improved enough to be starting over the underclassmen. Durham is going to have to learn to shoot if he is going to make a spot for himself. I love the kid. I love how hard he plays, but he's not quick enough to play point, and he doesn't shoot it well enough to be a 2. The 2-4 in Archie's system is pretty much a wash. All these guys can play those positions. I would expect Phinisee and Green to handle point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierKix Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I know this has been posted somewhere else, but couldn't find it. How many scholarships would we have in 2019 if Romeo committed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many scholarships would we have in 2019 if Romeo committed? Assuming no one transfers or leaves early we have 2 more available for 18-19 and 3 for 19-20. I think it's safe to say you can add at least 1 more to 19-20 year because either Romeo would leave or have a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the thing I love most about this is Archie's honesty. Didn't offer him a scholarship immediately. Staying true to his word about treating an IU offer like gold.

We'll see how Franklin takes it from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
