Billingsley99 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 My take once again not based on any intel. If NA loses before State Championship Romeo will visit meet with academic advisors talk about his academic future here. I believe that with his credits going in and then 2 years at IU. he would be in good shape to get his degree ala Cody Zeller. The family will go home talk options say why It really is IU and then let the world know. This trip is not to tell us no thanks. In my opinion it is to cement the deal. I have felt for long time we are leading but why leave any stones unturned. From what i have heard with this info Mile passed along pieces are fitting together nicely to see RL. in candy stripes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Thanks Mile, I think i just peed a little. I go to vegas in two weeks, that would be about perfect timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 And since academics are being discussed. Does anyone know if players now at IU get smaller classes on purpose? Reason I ask is one thing that Lanford's might want to know is exactly the class size,etc....he'll be studying in? Just a thought. Bailey was in my H105 Discussion class my freshman year. He used to get followed on campus and wasn't sure if IU had things in place to protect the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this is very similar to when Cody visited the Kelley School shortly before his announcement. Again, nothing but positive signs here IMO. Almost mirror image to what Cody did...good sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhunter Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 I don’t believe Romeo is wanting to visit to just tell us no. I do believe the visit would be legit. It’s either Vandys out in front and he wants to make sure or we are out and front and he wants to confirm. Even if he picked IU I could still see him waiting till McDonald’s game but who knows.

It would get a lot of publicity. It would be a statement that IU is back and we're going to compete for national titles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they may get their answer/wish. If it's IU, it would be cool for him to commit and receive the IU fanbase love during his tournament run, instead of the IU fanbase desire for him to come to IU (different kind of love).

CrimsonV Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 Hello. Newbie here. One thing I remember hearing in an interview was Romeo’s interest in engineering. I’ve heard IU’s program is just developing. On the flip side, Vanderbilt’s program ranked #34, Kansas #78 (usnews). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the"Real" Hoosier Sports Nation. Romeo's favorite classes are math classes. However, you struck on a good reason for an additional trip to IU. One I had not thought about till you post. Pretty well documented that if another trip to IU happens.... that it will be academically related. Just could be to check on the progress of IU's engineering program.

I can't speak to class size for athletes. However, keep in mind the excellence academy for athltetes, in the South End Zone is nearing completion.

My daughter is a junior at I.U. right now and periodically sees both basketball and football players on campus and in a few of her classes. She says they really try to just blend in. I do know first hand (my daughter is a former softball player), that all athletes get preferential treatment with classes and times. This is all common knowledge because of practices and game schedules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
