Doesn’t look like KU is going too hard after Hall.
-
@BShark Meh, fine with that. That article made it sound like he was a Spring commit and will be waiting out everyone and seeing where he can go to start immediately. Not sure that opportunity would exist here for him.

You mean Hall? KU is definitely in on better targets. If he is really waiting until next spring he’s the kind of guy you keep the fires warm on while seeing if you strike out on Achiuwa, Lawson, Jalen Wilson and Josh Green.
Hell depending on development maybe you take Sam Williamson first too. And I’m not sure where Leech is at after his bad injury or even if he is still playing basketball but if he healed up okay he is an intriguing prospect too.
-
@BShark Oh I agree. I think you stay in contact. But yea he said he wasn’t committing until the end of next season in that article, unless I’m going crazy. If that is the case, I think we can get back in on his recruitment pretty quickly if we strike out in the Fall.
-
@Kcmatt7 You are right. Once I saw KU wasn’t involved in the article I skimmed it.
-
@ReggieKansas you just remember to have MY STEAK ready lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@ReggieKansas Reggie - - - Reggie - - Reggie - - haven’t we had this discussion many , many, many times when you have called me and we have talked - -time to put the pipe down man and slowly back away. - - This one recruit is not doing to destroy this program- - we were fine before Romeo - and we will be fine without Romeo. - Time to hoist the anchor --that ship has sailed buddy - time to focus on 2019 recruits
-
@BShark I’ve been hearing a lot about this Green kid - -people saying he is a stud.- fill me in what position does he play? - -Was he the PG ? - -just curious. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

He is a large guard/wing.
-
Wondering if the mystery player might be Jaycson Bereal.
-
@BShark Would be funny. His pinned tweet is “In case ANYONE is confused/Doubtful, I am 300% committed to Boise State”

Won’t be in College long. Plays at IMG where Silvio was before he came to KU. His size and wingspan make him an ideal SG at the NBA level. Did well at the Nike Hoop Summit recently. KU has been on him for a while. UK involved now as well. Elite wing

Yeah I don’t think that means crap if he could come to KU lol.
-
@BShark Lol oh I’m sure. I just thought it would be a really funny tweet to have to take down.
-
So no Langford?
-
@chriz Sure isn’t looking good.
Can’t be mad at a kid for staying home. Just always feels like we miss on that one piece that could push us over the top.
-
I’ve heard some KU chatter lately. Apparently he’s made the decision though.
-
@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
-
Well Matt is gone from 247… Nothing gained nothing lost.
One poster really doubling down on saying its KU. Same one that was right on Grimes/Dotson.
Man monday is going to be something
-
@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

Yeah, this person has consistently doubled-down every time. Now saying he’s known for a month…Grimes/Dotson those weren’t ground breaking news, KU was favored almost every step of the way for both. Hard to compare what he’s claiming to them.
With Romeo it certainly seems as though IU has the inside track. We will certainly know in about 3 days if there’s anything to get excited about. I’ll be glad its over as I’m sure everyone else will be who’s followed this long-dragged-out recruitment.
-
Lol, there’s no way this has been done for a month.
-
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

Kansas feels good about landing Romeo. Not clear if they really know, or just like their chances.

I think they like their chances
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 how do u know this? Who said it?
-
Has Stumpy joined Archie’s staff in Bloomington?
If yes, maybe the FBI and DOJ should check The Stump’s cell phone for calls regarding Langford.
Can’t be too careful.
Wouldn’t want IU to be a victim.
-
I think I’m going to call it. Romeo to IU.
-
Me too. Romeo to UMKC. He thought he was signing to UMBC but was slightly off.

Sweet that’s really been the case for weeks maybe months

Since the family sat down and made the final choice yesterday, that would be not accurate.
-
@FarmerJayhawk so from you are hearing the decision was made yesterday for IU? Done deal?
-
I heard it was between KU and IU a week or so ago but nobody is saying KU now. The coaches haven’t been informed yet as far as I know, but I’m 99% sure it’s IU.
-
Oh, I think he’s going to KU. A guy told me.
-
Oh, I think he’s going to Vandy. A guy told me.
-
Oh, I think he’s going to IU. A guy told me.
-
Ok
-
Of course but the decision hasn’t really felt in ku’ s favor for a while so that was the real point of my post.
-
Thanks for keeping us informed along the way.
Crazy how much pressure Indiana fans put on him to play for a 500 team
-
@BeddieKU23 no problem. This late it’s always fun to post everything I hear just because it’s so chaotic. I so want to see the meltdown if somehow Romeo picks us.
-
I watch trends. I talk to recruits. I talk to players. I talk to active members on the team. All indications are KU. He knows he gets to step in and start for the preseason no1 team in the country. No competing for starts and he knows Coach Self has been successful with similar guards.
-
Grimes and Langford have long been viewed as a package deal. With KU’s entire backcourt departing it makes it an easy transition for Langford to step into. His family have said it was a business decision all along. When you are making a business decision you go where you will get the best training. Out of the 3 schools KU is the best decision. Langford has always wanted to play with the best. Go look about how he was trying to pair up with other top guys clear back in October 2017. He and Grimes have taken pics together recently. He is not just stirring the pot by tweeting about playing with Grimes. He really wants 2. There will be some upset IU fans tomorrow.
-
@Statmachine hope you’re right man. I don’t think anyone knows 100% right now. We’ll all find out tomorrow evening.
-
I have been reluctant to actually say anything unless I was really sure. You can go back to Diallo’s recruitment and see that I scooped him better than the media. I said moments b4 he announced that he was active on his fb and it will happen any second. I called Wiggins too. I am not tooting my own horn as much as I am just telling yall that I am confident its KU.
-
I believe it is safe to say that all of us here hope you are right this time. I would be very happy if he commits to KU but only slightly disappointed if he does not; fortunately this is one time when KU will be fine regardless.

Oh that would top any previous one for sure.

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
-
Lol. It’s Indiana and I’ll be interested to see who KU goes after once it’s official.
