There are people out there that know their stuff... and really, really like what happens on HSN 3.0. Bought all I can say about that right now. Keep in mind, in this case, I am far from a source. Just a messenger. Mile, I think most people on the board understand that you and others on the board are just messengers, and most level headed people don’t hold anything against you or others for bringing info to the board. All of you just pass along what you’re hearing at the time, and recruiting/college basketball is a very fluid process that takes many twists and turns. Whether it’s positive or negative, I and many others on the board appreciate what you guys bring to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Remember when it was said recently that we'd probably go through a couple of up and down cycles before it was done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is iffy though depending on his team's schedule. If still undecided he could delay his McDonald's game announcement. dbm, who stole your computer? Is that optimism I hear?!?!

ADegenerate Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 lol at dmb ‘turning face’ (if I can use a wrestling term). I bring this up because I think I was the only poster who voted that we’d miss out on both garland + romeo after like 50 votes at the time when that poll was up but now I’m relatively optimistic....and that has to be a major sign in a good way for two pessimists to turn optimistic.

StLHoosier Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 1 hour ago, milehiiu said: Neither. It all depends upon how far NA goes in the state tournament. They go all the way... it ends March 24. Not enough time to get an extra visit to IU, before the McDonalds. game on the 28th.... to have a family sit down. I don’t see how this can be taken any other way besides positive, imo. I take it as they want to visit IU again so badly, that if they can’t make it in time before the McD’s game due to scheduling conflicts, they will delay any decision because they want to get to IU again. I’ve never heard of a recruit sitting down face to face to tell a coach he’s not coming, and I highly doubt he’s delaying an announcement to do so.

Just a messenger. I think I can speak for many on here, when I see posts from you or iuwins0708, there is an urgency to read it. Mainly, because of the respect all posters on this site have for the both of you. You guys are no nonsense straight shooters. We all know that you guys are going to give us legit info whether its what we want to hear or not. That is all we as IU fans want. It is so tiring reading through posts with "guaranteed" promises. Keep up the good work mile! Go I.U. , bring Romeo home!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGleas Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I like that it’s not just a meeting with Archie, because if this was all to just break the bad news in person, then Archie has time this week to go to Langford. Langford wants to visit campus, which shows he’s serious and wants to check some real things out. While not as secretive, reminds of that last visit Zeller made to check out the School of Business right before his announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want one more visit. What else could we possibly say or show? The timeline fits the narrative of us hoping he comes...but is that last visit to seal the deal or to say in person to coach we like you...we really do but headed elsewhere. Just asking. It could be either, one to make sure that IU his where he wants to be, or to tell Archie personally his decision to go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a respectful way to handle things considering the intensity of his recruitment. I sure hope not but I wouldn’t rule anything out at this point. If that were the case, wouldn't he want to do the same with Self. It seems like it is down to Vandy and IU, and Vandy didn't close the deal.JMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he was a Junior at the time. Of course, as we know often talking about academics may be something a recruit says because he thinks it's what he's supposed to say. I believe Mile and/or other sources have said that to check out IU academics, talk to counselors, etc. was the purpose or, at least, one of the purposes of the visit. So all you have friends and relatives in the math department start digging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 10 hours ago, FKIM01 said: Looking through my rose colored glasses, delayed gives him an opportunity to maybe make a last visit to IU before a decision is made. I guess it is how you loo at things, if you are negative you think they still need for IU to sell them on why they should go to IU. If you look at things positive, they want to look at IU one more time and talk to the academic advisors because they want to make sure IU is the right place.

The main point is regardless of why RL is coming back to IU CAM has another chance to sell him on IU, and he has another chance to visit the campus.

milehiiu Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 One more tidbit, guys..... I was saving for today. Remember when Romeo visited for HH ? And Tim publicly stated that if Romeo decided to commit then and there.... they would not wait till Spring ? Well, hold onto your hats. Tim is also saying that it is up to Romeo..... but there is also a chance that Romeo commits before McDonald's. It is all up to Romeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You do not waste the time of the coach and University to do that. You dont let them go all out to try and give that last second push just to show up to say thanks but no thanks.
