OT - Landford to IU
- Thread starter BoilerInChiTown
- Start date
It was a bit over the top; his Dad doesn’t seem like high maintenance at alll...
they will have some talent; pressures on Archie now

Wow, they just went from 10th to 7th in the BIG.
Romeo will lose the last college game in which he plays. Gone after one season...
They have a good chance of winning the CBI
Honestly, I think it's a bad business move. Kansas has the tools to make him a top 5 pick with showing his tools on a winning team. Yes, he will probably be top 10 but for most likely a middle of the pack IU team with not much supporting cast...besides Morgan. I do think IU will be better for that 1 year but it won't help Romeo win anything relevant in the tourney.
wrong as usual. 1932 national champs with john wooden
Hey Nostradamus. If you write the word Period does it mean it has to be true?
You'd have to be 31 right now to even have been alive for IU's last title. 31 years.....31!!!!!
Congrats to IU. I’ll be very interested watching Romeo at IU next season and how he progresses. Going to IU is definitely a double edged sword...if he does well and gets IU to the NCAA’s, he is seen as a savior of sorts and likely cashes out a legend in IU/Indiana basketball history...if he ends up with the Pacers and teams up with Oladipo, it would be a perfect story.
On the other hand, IU has been known to have fans that turn nasty pretty quickly. If something doesn’t click and they struggle, it could actually hurt Romeo’s status in Indiana and in draft boards.
The easy NBA decision was Kansas or Vandy (NBA style offense with tempo and two other young studs with no expectations) but the pull of playing in Indiana at IU was likely too much.
I’ll look forward to watching Romeo take on Boogie and Nojel along with matching up with Hunter as well.

Indiana's roster just has no shooting. Playing with a roster like Kansas, for instance, which has a couple of talented guards who can space the floor for him would have been a much better 'business move' as you call it.
The college game is already compact enough as it is, becomes hard to operate when teams can sag off your teammates if they cant shoot.
Indiana was 307th in the nation in 3 point shooting last year and lose their one good higj volume shooter in Robert Johnson at 37% on 177 attempts. If you take his stats away, they become the worst shooting team in the nation from 3.
Just overall, not a very good fit for his game but when youre that good, you probably arent thinking of these things.
Come on guys..............we're talking about "this generation's Oscar Robertson" LOL. This kid is gonna have a lot of pressure on him.
Boogers and flags.............need I say more.

I would tend to think when you are this good you look at your roster. That's why the elite Pro's put themselves into a position that equal winning. Especially when it's short term. IU got a good one! At least you don't have to hear them bash his character when he was a Louisville recruit.

Good for IU.
Glad an IN kid stayed home.
Hopefully he will bring some fire back to the program, and we can hopefully get our rivalry (which IU has been missing from) back to some-kinda-somewhat national prominence.
Looking fwd to Archie vs CMP for a long time to come.

LOL!Better than 86 years since PU last alleged national championship
Dude . . . "Chicago1908"? are you even self-aware?
What happened to you boy Tegray? Couldn’t even get drafted. Probably still has nightmares of Markell Jones running him over during the bucket game.
I was talking about Morgan. He may have declared since he knew Romeo would be the focal point.
Were you one of the guys at the ceremony in candy stripe pants?
I think Romeo's a little less selfish than you've seen when he was by far the only real stud on his New Albany team. He had to take over games by himself.
He'll have plenty more help from Morgan, Smith and Hunter. Race Thompson is very intriguing too after a redshirt year. Heard A LOT of good things about him. Green is the wildcard. If he cuts down the street ball further, he could be a major plus.
I don't mind people flaming, except when they're just dumb.
Pretty sure Swanigan and Cline finished #1 & #2 in IN Mr BBall a couple years ago. And we offered Phinisee. Can't win em all.
Sasha, Eric Hunter, Thompson, TOMMY F'N LUCE!!! C'mon, man!
Yeah, no way we would have wanted Romeo. You got us.

You might notice when you check back that if he doesn't choose PU, I still won't care.
You said PU ignores IN players in their own backyard and the state of IN, I rattled off 5-6 recents. Not sure what the old IU coach has to do with my response.
If you're talking just Archie time you should clarify yourself. Just take a deep breath and be succinct. Go!
