Well I can't say that I'm really mad at the kid - I mean if he feels that's where he will be happy then so be it. Probably not as mad as maybe in the past cause had been fairly sure just quite AS SURE these past few days , wavered a bit.

Bottom line like I have said maybe not here I can't remember but Were still fine - -we were fine before Romeo - -were fine after Romeo. Would it of been cool with him here - - hell ya , but it's not like this is the first top flight player we lost out on - - - won't be the last. Sun still comes up in the East - -Still sits in the West

The one FOR SURE thing I will say - I'm just glad this is finally over - these long drawn recruitments have become way to big of a media specticale - - -just announce and be done with it. - -Seems like these kids are in competition with one another on who can come up with the most piazzzz for their announcements. - I'm just glad it's over - -time to move on to NEXT years 2019 recruits now - -Let's do this - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark ya for one we had mustache boy that was a waste of our time ran like a stripped ass ape when found out things wasn't going his way, - -Pretty funny though - -Grad transfer from Albany -Romeo - New Albany High School love the connection - and yes I know they are not the same - juast saying

I'm still on board with there is nothing wrong with holding on the scholarship other then passing it out to a average Grad player for one year. - -Ya Romeo is a one and done - but not even close to the same - giving that out to an Elite OAD or if you miss handing it out to a good or slightly above average Grad Transfer. - Like so many of others have said it is NOTA a must that we use the scholarship - were going be fine without feeling we need to use it - I'll go to my grave feeling if it isn't that perfect fit then don't use it - some people here act like were desperate to fill that 13th spot that's crazy

@BShark yup just saw that - Thanks Debbie Downer lmao - I got it off the phog - typical Monday Morning -- well goodie another grad transfer lol

Langford • Apr 30, 2018 12:57 PM

Well it's like I said a few days back after reading the latest out of the Indy Star. I then said at the time before I read that I was 100% totally finally convinced that is was a wrapped and sealed deal just waiting to be delivered to Indiana. Then AFTER I read the article I said I still believed he was going to Indiana but I had wavered on my confidence about that and I was like at 85% - -to 15 % KU.

Now after reading this morning's article - - - I know , I know , I could and probably am just trying to read to much between the lines I understand why you might think that BUT: - - -I guess I can do that so here is the thing guys - - Like a poster off the Phog said after people read the article that wavered me said then - - -Doesn't the statements made by Romeo and his family then almost sound like they were trying to brace the Indiana fans for a let down with the statements made?

Well this morning's statements made by Tim Langford just almost reinforces that yet AGAIN. I mean if you really look at what he is saying here , could very easily I think be bracing them for what's to come

Tim Langford said the plan was for them to sit down and discuss about his thought sand the 3 schools , but that they really hadn't had much time to do that. - -He said he actually thought that Romeo had made his decision some time last week.

The thing is with what Tim Langford says here , It just makes me stop and think hmmmmmmmmmmm ? what is up? something sounds ummm different. - -Tim stated: He said he HOPED that everyone in the New Albany High Gym would be pulling for Romeo above all else. - - OK thing is if Romeo is 100 % sure he is committing to Indiana why would his Dad even bother to make that kind of statement? - - Sure in the hell won't be finding to many KU fans in the New Albany Gym tonight for the announcement. - So of course the Indiana fans would be pulling for Romeo , he going to Indiana there isn't even any need to make that statement..

Then Tim Langford says My thing is , IF it's not IU (which ) I don't know for sure if it's them or not, IF they're truly Romeo fans , there's a difference between the Schools fans and my son's fans -- - he said and when it's all said and done. -Who's really a fan for my son? - - Who's really a fan of him? - - My take from that statement? - -Sure sounds like again he is bracing the IU fans possibly and saying a - -HEY if your a true fan of Romeo then your going to pull for him no matter where he goes.

You put that together with the statement they made previously about just because it was at the New Albany Gym was more about showing their appreciation of the fan support for the past 4 years - -NOT about where he decides to go - -It's a courtesy to the fans. - -I just don't know for sure right now. - I wouldn't want to have to lay money either way - -KU - -or IU? - - I won't be shocked either way at this point. - I'd say I think he still lands at IU BUT my confidence is melting and - QUICK I'd probably say now 60% Indiana - - 40 % for the good guys - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Everyone check this out, my friend going to sending an article that's got more interesting things just anytime check it out - -he gonna send the link

Langford • Apr 27, 2018 03:44 PM

@BeddieKU23 Ya I know the one your talking about. - -Seems like he has a little knowledge. At least like you said he kept saying Dotson/Grimes - -Dotson/Grimes to KU. - -I'll just say it's not going to floor me if he announces to Indiana - -but we just can not say 100% for sure at this point - -there maybe some hidden thing we just don't know. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Langford • Apr 27, 2018 12:07 PM

@FarmerJayhawk I feel what your saying and understand for sure. - Yet like a friend told me as much as we feel that it's a done deal for Indiana you know - -we can't say as they say never say never. Cause there is no one that knows 100% for sure - -all guesses -even the so called insiders/ones suppose to know - - Meyer - -Daniel - -Slater they don't know - their guessing just like everyone else. - Only Romeo knows for sure - -no one else which is right. - No one can say 100% just going on the he said/she said/they said - -like I said do I still believe he lands at Indiana? - -ya probably so - -BUT the statements made by the Langfords in the article made me do a little double take at the least. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@truehawk93 True. From where I originally pulled this up another poster said: Doesn't this article -- these comments seem to be building things or don't these comments seem to building things up for a let down for the Indiana fans? - after reading this if I were an Indiana fan I wouldn't be feeling 100% confident, now again is it likely he lands there? - I still think more likely then not BUT - -this article from the Indiana Star sure had some interesting comments from the Langfords . - -Especially Tim saying you can only control what you can control -- Plus about you can't make everybody happy. - -To me that sounds like it's pointed to the Indiana fans. -Plus with him and Quentin being pretty tight? - - - I just don't know. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yes guys, it's late - - very late in the recruitment. - - I was 100% convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Romeo was a DONE DEAL no doubt for Indiana. - Now I still feel he lands at Indiana - but after reading this , the statements made , threw me a hanger - a blow, - Makes me waver just a bit , as in like from 100% rock solid no doubt to about a 85/80 waver guy. -- Still won't shock me for Indiana to land him - But maybe won't shock me as much either if he were to announce KU. - -Here is what was said:

The outpouring of love for Romeo in New Albany is a big reason why the family decided to schedule the announcement for Monday and open it up to the public. While there has been speculation that scheduling a public announcement could bode well for Indiana's chances ( considering many New Albany fans are also Indian fans ) It might be wise NOT TO READ to much in that decision. - - - - - point taken here I think is trying to be made is: Just because the family decided to make it open to the public doesn't necessarily mean it's a lock it's going to be Indiana.

Romeo said I don't think it is going to be a negative reaction IF I don't pick IU Langford said. I think they will support me either wherever I go ( hmmmmmm why would he say that if it was a 100 % lock for Indiana? - why would he even mention that? ?

Tim Langford said it probably would of been easier to announce the decision on Instagram ( - you think that this actually might of been a possibility ? ) -Another reason to do that if it's another school then IU. - -After talking it over with Romeo and New Albany coach Jim Shermon the Langford's decided it would be a natural to make the announcement in front of the same fans who watched him win a state championship and compile a 100-10 record. This is not saying that he is committing in any way to IU just to do it for the fans who watched him for his four years in school.

You can't please everybody Tim Langford said. You control what you can control ( you put this with his statement how this was going to be a business decision- -kind of like Romeo's decision is going to be what's best for Romeo and while we love the Indiana fans -- doesn't necessarily mean Romeo lands at IU . You put that statement with this that Tim Langford said : - - - -Doing it in public , that is just to show our appreciation of a great four years at New Albany. ( just like just because it's a public announcement open to Indiana fans doesn't mean that is where he lands. ) He ( Romeo ) wanted to do something different and allow the fans to be a part of it. - -THEN THIS - - - -As far as pleasing all of the fans? You aren't going to do that no matter what you do. - - -Now does that sound like a guy that is a 100 % rock solid choice to commit to IU ?

At the Nike Hoops summit he attended a Portland Trail Blazer game he was with Quinten Grimes the two talked about the NBA Watching the game with Quentin and it was like we could be out there in a couple of months. - -It seems more realistic now - -( hmmmm let's remember Quentin & Romeo pretty thick - -I'm just not 100 % sure anymore some interesting things said by the Langfords. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark your bringing up names but NONE of these that you mentioned were rated as low as this kid, your not convincing me that a kid that is the 54th best shooting guard is going to be help a major D-1 school enough to benefit using the scholarship sorry just not.

Just like with Bill adapting his offense to the type of players he has had after the Quote unquote that's just not Bill Self - -well Bill adapted to his players - -So now very likely he needs to change his stance IF that's HIS STANCE - time to change about not holding on - -instead of filling a spot just to fill a spot - this kid can not help IF he happened to be the one - which I don't think he really is - -BUT IF he was - -that is not a good move. - -My opinion - -you have yours

Recruiting Thread • Apr 25, 2018 06:53 PM

@BShark AND if I were a betting man and wanting to spend more time I would be will to bet that for every ONE that you try to justify with - I could give you THREE that were busts - - and spent 3/4 of their time end up riding the pine.

However like a fiend of mine brought up - -really no need to put much credence in any of these mystery names being thrown out and till we see solid evidence that Coach Self has been seen by reliable source as actually recruiting ANY type of mystery player. - -Right now all we have is people throwing out a bunch of names. - Like my friends said also in the article this kid didn't really bring KU that much into the topic.

Until it's been confirmed that Coach Self is actually recruiting these kids then - -pssssssssssssssssssssssssssssst. - -Easy to toss names out, nobody other then Self really knows for sure other then that it's all speculation

Recruiting Thread • Apr 25, 2018 06:38 PM

I sure hope it isn't this Keonte Kennedy that was thrown out - -now see if this would be the case then that's would be exactly what to me what I was talking about. - - That makes it look more like Coach just looking for a body - -any body to fill the roster.

As I stated before unless he could get a kid that could come in and benefit us properly then we would be better off just hanging on to the spot. -I mean I have nothing against this kid if that's who it would be BUT being ranked # 229 in the Nation and the 54th best SG - I just don't get that to use our opening at this point -- I just can't believe that he could help our need enough at this point - -SAVE IT - to me that would be a waste of a scholarship and tie it up for years unless they ended up running him off the following year because of better possibilities - and that wouldn't be right either. - - there is nothing wrong with hanging on to it if we can't find the right one. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

NCAA Commission Findings Release • Apr 25, 2018 06:28 PM

I mean sure they want to do away with the one and done - - -great - - I have no problem with that. A kid wants to go straight to the NBA - - that's fine they feel like they got what it takes - -good for them. - -Yet to penalize a school for three years if a kid comes to that school and decides to leave after one year - - - COME ON

NCAA Commission Findings Release • Apr 25, 2018 06:26 PM

@Kcmatt7 It would be a raw deal for sure. I mean like you point out there are going to be those type of players -pretty good players - -they have a awesome Freshman year and then they decide to commit for the NBA. - Now tell me why a School should be penalized for that, as for when you recruited them the school not even thinking of them being a one and done - yet the kid goes to the NBA after one year and the school get's penalized for THREE ? -that just doesn't make any sense

NCAA Commission Findings Release • Apr 25, 2018 06:16 PM

@Kcmatt7 Well if they are trying to do away with the one and done , and if they don't comply or adapt the rule and talking about making Freshman ineligible? - Even if they do away with the one and done what if a kid that is right there on that one and done line is - -he still wants to attend school and then plays a year and then at the end of the year he still declares - -I mean in that scenario Freshman would be eligible - but kid comes to school even with the so called one and done no longer in play.

This kid comes a year for school and decides he wants to leave - and we still get screwed by losing the spot for 3 years

NCAA Commission Findings Release • Apr 25, 2018 03:54 PM

@Kcmatt7 I agree with you on where if the kid leaves after his freshman season, the school could lose that schlorship for three years? I don't agree with that at all. Why should THE SCHOOL be penalized for this kid leaving after one year. - - They aren't the one that is telling the kid to leave- -he is making that decision - I'm sure if the schools had their way they would want the kid to stay longer - that just seems messed up to me.

The kid gets to leave after a year go to the NBA and start making money and the school gets penalized for him leaving - -what's wrong with that picture. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well just read the article , was talking about how now the KU staff and well all others now turning their full attention to the 2019 recruiting.

Talked about being in the Dallas Ft Worth area this weekend as this is the 1st live evaluation period of 2019 recruits, this is a weekend with the EBYL where Adidas - -Under Armour - -& Nike was having events.

Some names I really hadn't seen - and then some have seen - -these aren't all off the article BUT: here are a few that is connected with KU or they recruiting.
Adidas: - -1st for sure is Markese - we know all about him - -the one I hadn't heard anything on is Onyeka Okongwu a 5* ranked # 18 a 6'8 - -215 lb - say has serious room to grow as of Jan his top 5 were - -Arizona St , UCLA , Washington, USC , & KU. - - sounds good but does anyone else see the trend here?

Off Nike : - - never have heard nothing on this kid yet either: - - Jalen Lecque 5 * # 8 - -6'2 out of Arden NC - -Norm Roberts is the lead recruiter for him - - - -Isaiah Stewart- -now have heard some on him 5* # 10- -6"8--- -230 - - & - -Kofi Cockburn - -# 31 - -6'10 - 300 lbs

Under Armour : Christian Brown a 5 * # 27 - -- 6'6 200--- - -- -& a 5 * Josh Green who's most interest they say is from the West Coast

These are some of the names of interest for 2019 - plus they listed - -JRE - - & Chandler Lawson so here we go - -off and running. - -ROCK CHAL ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know If by some remote chanced Dok decides to remain and hire an agent - - We will be looking an entirely new starting 5. - All 5 players will make up a new line up. - I know that is seems pretty un likely but still'

I think if that's the case I think it will be a challenge for sure to extend the streak. - Not saying it won't happen but gonna be another one of those years. - People gonna say Well we have got guys that has been is Self's system for a year - -Good that's great - -Lawson from everything we have been hearing is a stud-- his brother is good - -But I don't care big difference between in Coach Self's system in scrimmage and actual competition in the Big 12. - -Big 12 is a step up from where they came - -competition harder, how will they respond to early season competition in tight contested game - one possession game? Could be interesting.- - -Not sayin again that he isn't or they aren't legit - still gonna take time to shake the rust in real time competition and the upgrade in competition. - - Same goes with Moore - -decent player but yet again been sittin out a year - -could be we lose a couple of early season games with new line up

Plus very true our three freshman - -all really good - -However I don't give a rats ass -still an adjustment to the College game - -gonna take time no matter how good they are - -all you have to do is look at Duke - -and or Kentucky - - just loaded but yet they take hits --How will our freshman respond to a tight last second game. - I know they will find out real quick that some of those moves that they got away with in High School - -AAU games - won't fly here. - They are going to find out that there are players just as good or really close and if they try some of the things they did in High School they are gonna get it slapped back at them or turn it over or get it stolen by talented JR's - -Sr's

They are all good Grimes is really good - But still gonna take some games - get some experience - might very well struggle early.

Also who is going to be the leader this year? - -Who is going to be that go to guy? - -My thought - it's going to be Dedric - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm STILL trying to figure out how Self could of talked to Romeo yesterday or got a verbal from him yesterday when we are in our dead period when Coach can't have any contact - which runs for 3 months unless Romeo was on the KU campus. - only type of contact he can have right now is if he would be on the Ku campus - or via a letter - or telephone contact. - He can't go see Romeo at his high school - he can't go to Romeo's home - things that make you go hmmmmmmm

@justanotherfan your pretty spot on for sure. Love the kid to death , but I think it is a safe bet to say that not many if any at all feels like he would have a chance in the NBA at this point at all.

Like you pointed out his foot work needs improvement - laterally - -could you imagine if he was in the league and had to be matched up against someone of the likes of JO JO on any occasion or anybody like him at this point? - He would get eaten alive and that's not trying to come down on him it's just plain facts that it is what it is.

Another point and was brought up by this guy in the article people like Doke is almost becoming extinct. If he can't develop some kind of outside shot and really kind have doubts of any kind of range again because a lot of the mechanics that are used in a jumper is the same of a free throw- positioning of the hand- -the elbow and so forth -I just don't know. - -lots of work to do. On top of that even though Doke is no Sloth - in the long run - I'm just not sure if the way the speed of the game in the NBA has changed can Doke maintain and keep up? - -These are questions I would have, things he needs to work on plus others - -rebounding - rim protection , lots of work to do - -however smart he isn't hiring an agent - -Another question is, does he even get a combine invite with the amount of players that have declared? - - We shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya, I could see that a lot more, and on top the hopefully not but the scenario that Silvio would for some reason be deemed to lose his Amateur status- that would make a lot more sense.
The whole just of my conversation is based purely on people just starting to throw names - - any names out talking about as a backup plan if Romeo doesn't commit - and I think that's kind of over the top . - - I mean if your going to do that then at least have some kind of source - -reliable source that can back the name up that they are throwing out other then well like a friend of mine who has a friend that has a friend of a friend that has supposedly inside sources from a friend - ya know - - I mean that's not good. lol

@FarmerJayhawk umm not sure how he could of done that. As we are in the quiet period right now and Coaches can't visit recruits have in homes or at their high schools. - Only contact they can have now is either through the mail or over the telephone - - unless it would be on KU campus would be the only other way.

Recruiting Thread • Apr 20, 2018 12:48 PM

@BShark It's all good. - - as they say different strokes for different folks. - I quickly realized like you say not trying malice - just a little fun poke.

However poking fun or not I and several others that we have had this discussion say the same - - We are recruiting Romeo for a specific need/position that's someone who is versitale and can knock down the outside jumper - something that has be mentioned repeatedly that is going to be more of a need this upcoming season. - - - If he doesn't commit - - so what? - -doesn't mean we have to just sign anybody just to have as some say that THIRDTEENTH roster player. - There is nothing wrong with what so ever to hang on to that scholarship . - -Twelve players - - 13 players with or without Romeo depth will not be the issue this upcoming season as was the case this past season.

Again was mentioned people doesn't care what position player or not it's a 13th player - - -that's crazy just to add someone to be the 13th player. - -We are set in front and in back - Romeo was more that quote - -unquote final piece type of player that we are hoping for to fit with all the others that can help us take that final step - - Adding a 13th player just to have the 13th player makes no sense - - are they going to be that final piece to help us make that final step? - - I'll answer it for ya - -a resounding no. - Again for some reason sounds like there is some people in here that seem to think hanging onto that last scholarship is a crime.- - Hell if they wanting to hand it out that bad let me limp down there I'll take it and I'LL be that final piece lmao.-

@Kcmatt7 The big thing for me is that like the kid that is ranked 76th - I mean I hope we don't offer JUST to fill the roster - if we can't benefit from the kid why use the schlorship ? - Were not in that bad of position to just be offering for the sake of offering and fillin the roster - not sayin t hat what it is - -but if Romeo doesn't commit - -no law says we have to use that schlorship- -hell hang on to it - that's not a crime - -I'm just hoping we aren't getting to that point - if you can't get what you want - - why settle - -just to settle?

Actually I think this so called mystery kid is just that - mythical. -A lot of this talk started with ol boy off Shiver and he said: - If Romeo doesn't commit then I MIGHT know of a possible fallback that KU hasn't been linked to previously - -People took that and ran like the wind - Oh there is this OTHER guy, and people started pulling names out their ass just to throw out a name - that' just insane - -I mean have some kind of backup instead of just throwing out a name to see what kind of answers you get to your post. - -Any kind of a big is NOT what we really need - we need a combo type guard the 2 or maybe , maybe 3 player then can step out space the floor and create his shot or hit the J - we don't need anymore 4's or 5's - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 Well we need to run then - with the way things have been going here the last couple of years we have had our share of questionable players or outcome and having to deal with the NCAA and now there is this dam FBI probe - I would like to have ONE tear with no drama. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well just read another guess on the mystery man that supposedly KU might be looking at if Romeo doesn't commit. Are you ready?

The name I just seen now is Jermaine Harris a 6'8 center that committed to Rhode Island ranked in the final 247 as the # 76 ranked player.

My question is - -do some of these people before they open their mouth -do they even think about what they are saying? - - Jermaine Harris? - - -what the hell. - I mean why would we fall back to that to replace Romeo? - Not even the same position and were not needing another big this upcoming year. I mean come on now guys - at least try and think before you make such statements - - - Absolute no sense- np logic what so ever to try and get him if Romeo doesn't commit - -names like this makes it look like your just pulling names - -any names out your butt - and besides that where you obtaining this kind of information? - -I know your inside source right? - Well let me suggest you find a different source - - JUMIN - - GEE - - HOSSIS - -TOADS MAN. - -Jermaine Harris? - -Come on man let's be real. - -Think before you just start spewing names out there. - - OK - -vent over , let me step down off my stool now. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
