Langford

I think it would have to be Harris or Johnson. Not sure why Johnson wouldnāt want to go to Florida though. Unless he thinks he is OAD and thinks KU is the place you go to do that.
-
@Kcmatt7 I donāt think he is OAD. Odd that he committed in Nov and didnāt sign.
-
Iām honestly thinking Herro at this point. We reached out way back. But that was when Cal was telling the kid he would come in and start. Now, I donāt even see how he plays.
He didnāt go there to be the 5th or 6th guard.
-
Herro doesnāt sound happy lol.
-
Jake Wojcik got his release from Siena.

Decommitted from the children of the corn today.
-
IU peeps still confident they are getting Romeo. Just passing along what they are saying. Apparently the coaches are confident as well
-
I would be too if I were them.
With that being said, I hope Bill gives them a call and asks the to be honest with him. It really wouldnāt be fair to keep three programs in limbo for your own vanity. It would be different if it wasnāt two weeks away and the transfer market didnāt become this 2nd wave of recruiting. But it really is selfish to keep this info from the programs if you have decided already.
-
I believe all the coaches have one last in-home visit to use. Whether Romeo will take in last impressions remains to be seen with two weeks left but Iād imagine KU and Vandy will be pushing for those visits to kind of get an answer one way or the other.
The confidence IU has looks comparable to the confidence KU had with Grimes and to some extent Dotson as well. I donāt know whether any of that is comparable, just voicing the vibe Iām getting from all this.
Weāll know soon whether Romeo wants to compete for a championship at KU, or mediocrity in the Big-10 or SEC
-
@Kcmatt7 I agree with you and see your point. However I donāt think they will put it out - and thatās BS I actually think the whole delayed announcement is more Daddy - he is loving the media attention. Could very easily be that Romeo has had his mind made up for some time but Daddy told him to hold off. If you get the chance you need to check that video out -man the kid has some talents. - -You can sure see High School basketball is really big in Indiana some of the crowds he was playing in front of for a high school game - -geez. ā ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
What is the position where KU would need the most help if Langford goes elsewhere? I would think wing and a true shooter? I bet Tyler Herro is wishing he waited a little longer before committing to UK; he would be a perfect fit at KU.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Funny how wide open it looked for PT a month agoā¦ I would say his family isnāt happy.
It will be really interesting to see what happens if Cal does get Maxey to come and play in this class.
-
You pretty much nailed it. A 3 point shooter with athleticism would be ideal. I think we need to find someone that can play immediately that can give us some of the things we were used to getting from Vick, Jackson & Selden before that. Thereās an element of athleticism missing IMO that KU likes to have for lobs and drives to the hoop.
Langford is both. Herro is 1/2.
Agbaji and Sam are both in that mold but unproven. Staff seems to like Agbaji but no clue if heāll be ahead of the curve to play minutes as a freshman. Garrett & KJ havenāt proven to be consistent shooters yet but they give you a lot of other good things.
Itās unlikely we are going to find a really capable option if its not Romeo. I guess it could pop up so I wonāt say it canāt. Will be interesting
-
Agreed. withe the recent influx of players to UK some of the earlier commits must be having second thoughts. It would be difficult for Herro to de-commit since he has done it once already. If Langford does not come he sure would have been a great fit.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Lol its funny, because I thought the fact that he decomitted before made it more likely he would consider it again.

I found the player you are looking for
-
Can we clone him and get double the pleasure?
-
Your right heās one. Iām expecting him to start at the 2 Guard position. Whoās the wing player? I know Marcus is the āguyā but we need much more from him shooting wise.
-
Adding another quality guard/wing would really help. Not sold on Cunliffe at all. Think we might see some Moore at the 2 with Grimes at the 3.
-
Romeo Langford is a decent kid and a good student. His plan all along was to wait until after the year so he could concentrate on school and his final year of basketball. It was nothing more than that. Part of me kind of would respect him more if he picks IU. That means he is up to being the man and trying to carry a team. Iām sick of kids acting like coward LeBron and teaming up. Do your own thing and own it. Having said all that, if he picks Kansas I wont complain.
-
This dang millennial generation and their choosing to winā¦ Itās annoying.
-
@BShark i doubt it moore is a pure 1 grimes is much more versatile he can actually play either shooting guard or point guard
-
Seen this from another poster off another site - -makes some sense. Iām not saying I really put a lot of worth , but could be logical as he brings up another example of the Romeo commitment gives an example, he says:
Some people feel that since Romeo is announcing in his High School and itās open to the public that it is a done deal he is going to Indiana ( Myself I donāt feel this way necessarily ) but he says a lot do. - Now the Indiana fans well hell ya they making statements such as well with it being open to the public and thousands going to be there he would be nuts to announce somewhere else - - Really? - we shall see although I do believe he goes there. Anyways the poster brings this up.
He says how quickly we forget the Harrison Barnes scenario. Born and Raised in Ames Iowa - - practiced with the Iowa State team for years. - -He had his announcement at his High School in Ames , and invited everybody/everyone to attend, a ton of Iowa State people there and the High School band played the Iowa State fight song before his announcement - - - Then he skypes in Roy Williams and announces his commitment to UNC.
So just because he is making the announcement in his High School with all these people doesnāt mean 100% he is gone to Indiana contrary to what some people think - not saying this will be the case but until he says Iām going to Indiana - - - Open game
The like he said in his post he says and letās not forget the Alexander/ IIllinois fiasco. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Nah, Moore is a combo guard at best. Being small doesnāt make you a PG. In fact size doesnāt effect position at all. Ben Simmons is a 6ā10āā PG in the NBA.

Posted in the other thread. Agbaji up to #141
-
I would have hoped he would be top 100 by now considering the year and awards he had as well as the offers from big time programs.
-
Itās probably where he belongs. If he is anything like the coaches think he will outplay his rank in time

How many 5ā11" centers are in the NBA?
-
Anything is possible. Keep in mind that 5ā6" Spud Webb won the NBA Dunk contest as did 5ā9ā Nate Robinsonā¦not once, not twice but three times.

None but that doesnāt mean 5ā11āā players with a center only skill set donāt exist. Itās all about the skill set a player has. True center is a dying position.

Hearing quite credibly that Vandy is pretty much out. KU or IU.

@FarmerJayhawk Iāve been feeling that for quite some time now. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Uhhh so the latest rumor is that Self paid Romeo a visit while he was in Louisville yesterday.

How is everyone interpreting this? Iām not sure what to think.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 I was joking that Self was doing such activities at Romeoās house.
-
@FarmerJayhawk umm not sure how he could of done that. As we are in the quiet period right now and Coaches canāt 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.
-
Self met with Bassey this week so there has to be some way to get around it. The Langfordās are denying it, so could just be someone assumed Self was in New Albany too when visiting Bassey
-
@jayballer73 i paid a visit to his house and now im coming to yours
-
@ReggieKansas lmao - -your just an idiot lol -you donāt know where I live lol - -BUT I do know your womanās number lmao
-
I asked again today and a guy I trust still is saying itās done to KU.
-
@FarmerJayhawk what percent do u say ?

If thatās true, that will be one salty gym in some place in Indiana on the 30th.
I know @BShark and myself said we would do cartwheels and backflips if it was another recruit who landed at KU but Iām fully on board for doing one if Romeo signs with KU
-
You can? Iām impressed, you have to tape it, or it didnāt happen!
