Matt Scott just changed his CB to Indiana. IT’S DONE FOLKS.
Matt Scott doesn’t know. I doubt that Langford called up Scott to tell him to change his prediction. None of these guys have any real info, only hearsay.
-
Langford and those close to him have done a really good job of keeping things under wraps. This decision will be a surprise to everyone.
-
This decision is not going to be a surprise to everyone.

Want to bet?

@BShark so did you see the sighting of coach Self, at the Kc airport, on the phog? Was it a joke? I know there was a flight on sw to Indianapolis about that time.
-
I believe Coach Self uses the KU plane which is based in Lawrence for all recruiting. This is the quiet period and cannot meet with the family. Also, if he was going to see Langford he would most likely fly to Louisville which is 15 minutes away and not to Indianapolis which is 2 hours away.
Now, if he is going on a personal trip then he would fly commercial.
-
@JayHawkFanToo The quiet period isn’t 100% hands off. The calendar is weird with scattered dates with recruiting possible. The day that Self was supposedly there was the last day to make legal face to face contct off campus (for awhile).
-
He can meet in the gym. Just what I read.
-
@JayHawkFanToo You think Self ever flies commercial?! Come on now. He has multiple jets at his disposal. In his contract he gets up to so many hours for personal use a year.
-
Incognito?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - someone dressed as Bill Self to hide his true travel plans?

No idea.
-
@Gorilla72 rumors!
-
@BShark Unless you were on a 3 way call with Scott and Langford then you don’t know either.
-
@Statmachine I know Langford is going to Indiana. That’s about it.
-
Then why are you on this thread waiting to see where he goes?
-
@Statmachine I’m not waiting for anything nor will I be watching his announcement to Indiana. I’m just on the site anyway so I will reply when someone posts talking to me.
-
Now, I would listen to arguments that I am on this site too much. My work productivity would like me to ban myself.
-
Watching the “announcement”. Everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame. Just name the school!

After watching the Grimes and Dotson’s announcements, I’ve had enough. lol
-
@BShark - yep. His kick ball coach is up next…
-
Announcement fantasy match-up: Romeo Langford vs Tony Parker.
-
He has committed to Indiana
-
After that self-serving announcement circus, I believe Archie is going to have his hands full…
-
He may be humble, but he didn’t get it from his dad!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - certainly more well-spoken than is dad “ya know”.
-
He actually is a good kid, stayed for hours after each game to sign autographs for kids. I’m not so sure that most of this crap was his idea.
-
Well I was wrong. My goodness I should be on 247 sports! My predictions are just as good as any lol! Matt Scott changed his prediction yesterday just to keep his % higher rather than sticking to his guns. BOOOOOOO!
-
@BShark my kids would kill me.

This is the first time since 2007 that Indiana has landed the top-ranked senior from the state.
Wow…

Apparently his dad said something about doing the announcment “his way” but I wasn’t watching so I can’t verify that. Makes sense though.
-
There is a lot more accountability and scrutiny nowadays and coaches are a lot more careful on what they can and cannot do. If he is going somewhere on personal business I would not be surprised if he flies commercial. With all the investigations going on and the limelight on KU the last thing he or KU need is the Star doing a story on his use of KU planes for personal business.
-
Trae Young should call with hints on how RL should handle the defensive pressure that is sure to come his way. This ain’t AAU Ball!
-
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
-
According to his dad KU finished third behind Vandy. Blah.
-
@BShark the FBI “scandal” is going to be a hurdle for Self and staff. The quote I saw was his Dad basically saying having the schools name associated with the FBI case eliminated them.

Yep.
They lied beforehand and said it wasn’t a factor too… Bad look.
Here is the full quote: “Kansas, it pushed it out for me. Just having that name on your school. I didn’t take them out of the three verbally, we just didn’t want him going there and anybody asking him that type of question. So we don’t want him going to school there, we don’t care how good the basketball is.”
-
@Woodrow so hes a lier then cuz he said it didnt
-
@BShark post the link from that
-
@BShark yea that’s the quote I saw. Not good at all.
As far as the Dad I assume he didn’t come out and eliminate KU because then there would be no suspense if there really was any today. I agree it’s a bad look. Obviously the family / Romeo like some attention. So it makes sense to go the Trae Young route.
-
Eh. No big loss. Sr. Garrett should benefit from the increased minutes next year.
-
@dylans he better be able to hit the broad side of the barn!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Garrett shooting from three last year was basically a turnover.
-
Hello Trae Young Part Deux. Good luck at the NIT, the NCAA made a mistake sending OU to the dance because of Young but will not make the same mistake again. Archie Miller is a really good coach and will get Indiana in shape in time but I don’t believe one player and one year will do it, he will need more time and talent than what he has now.
-
So which team did he pick?
Kidding. Maybe we get Cremo now
-
Did he pick Louisville? I really thought he was going there
-
So, it sounds like KU was in the mix, that he delayed his decision seeing how things shook out at KU, but the FBI B.S. took KU out of the mix. Nice.
I wonder, if there wasn’t any indictment, but the info about Adidas paying DeSousa and Preston had come out (without the indictment), would the reaction be the same?
Maybe. Fear of sanctions maybe. I don’t know.
When you are associated with this stuff and KU is a part of that in any way, it is not a good thing. That is for sure.
-
It could warp the next class or two but ultimately many more schools and players will be named. In the end if college basketball still exists, KU should be fine.
-
It’s not good. We may ultimately be happy Langford’s father isn’t looking over every Bill Self coaching decision either. Now Archie’s problem
Also we are actively recruiting a player with red flags everywhere (Charles Bassey) who may try and reclassify to 2018. Something’s gotta give

I really don’t like going after Bassey as stated before. It’s just not a good look.
