Wait... wasn’t he wrong about Garland?jerry Meyer just changed his crystal ball pick to Vanderbilt for romeo. Not good at all.
Wait... wasn’t he wrong about Garland?
Why would you put any stock into his thoughts on Romeo?
The players he has committed in 2017 and 2018 are good enough to make runs in the tournament. He just needs a couple years to get a full team of his guys, and teach them how to play together. You know... like Indiana basketball.Yeah, we may miss out on Romeo and we may not. He may decide he wants to stay home, who knows. The fact we were even in Garlands last 2 says so much about Archie. He is going to be getting 4 and 5 star recruits in handfuls in the coming years.
Same boat. Well stated.Garland's decision is disappointing, but not unexpected (at least for me).
Just remember that basketball is a team sport, recruiting is a long process (and getting longer, sadly) and a never-ending one, so you don't ever want to invest too much on the prospect of just one (or two) recruit's decisions.
Whatever Langford decides to do, I feel more optimistic about Indiana basketball than I have in a long time -- and neither DG's nor RL's decision will have much bearing on that.
I call that a miss.Technically no. He changed his pick to Vanderbilt at the last second after the espn story already leaked.

Needs to add some shootersThe players he has committed in 2017 and 2018 are good enough to make runs in the tournament. He just needs a couple years to get a full team of his guys, and teach them how to play together. You know... like Indiana basketball.
I don't put anything into those stats because it does not take much work to change your pick right before the announcement. To see how good these guys are they should get one pick and stay witNew Pal Boiler: Why would (anyone) "put any stock into (Jerry Meyer's) thoughts on Romeo" ? Probably because as Director of Basketball Scouting for 247, he made 739 correct predictions of where prospects were going out of 994 tries. After Garland, it's 995. On to the next 1,000. Why would we not expect him to continue batting .743 ?
It does not appear we are anymore for the class of 2018 so I would think maybe we can add layer. I think we need a true point guard who can come in one year so Phinnissee does not have to come and play huge minutes.Needs to add some shooters
Yep..need a scoring guard and a Pg. I️ like the rest of the class.It does not appear we are anymore for the class of 2018 so I would think maybe we can add layer. I think we need a true point guard who can come in one year so Phinnissee does not have to come and play huge minutes.

Maybe. If we get Langford, then Durham and Green can share time. They would probably be fine since most of the scoring would be set up around Langford.Could Durham help fill one of those roles? He looked decent last night (albeit against spotty competition).
You don't know how it works. Adorable.New Pal Boiler: Why would (anyone) "put any stock into (Jerry Meyer's) thoughts on Romeo" ?

So, IUScott, you don't put "ANYTHING" into a guy like Jerry Meyer's years of predicting where recruits are headed? You're probably right. I mean, why would anybody who spends thousands of hours contacting people who have demonstrated knowledge about the process have any more insight than the guy sitting 3 barstools from the left at a sports bar or a high volume poster on this board ? Good point.
My god, just shut up ..He did not predict anything. He had IU up until the last minute. Then when the news starts to leak he switches to Vanderbilt and gets to say he was correct...
WGAFF?Just for your information, the Garland team said UCLA came in second not IU.
I don't buy those stats because when you change your pick many times during the recruitment that does not impress me one bit. Take a pick and stick with it because changing it after every visit does not do anything to suggest he really knows anything. He change his pick today after the ESPN article came out so how is this show his ability to correctly pick right.So, IUScott, you don't put "ANYTHING" into a guy like Jerry Meyer's years of predicting where recruits are headed?

So be wrong on purpose, and don't correct, even when new information appears?Take a pick and stick with it
Proving the family strung a massive fanbase along for weeks for what purpose? I have completely lost respect for that family. Screw them. I was indifferent to Vanderbilt. Now I hope they get their ass beat by 30 every night.
That first sentence of yours brought a smile to my face. We said that about Crean when he first got here and missed out on a few top recruits that expressed interest. We considered it a victory...a moral victory, but still a victory. Victory's without actually winning anything to show for it aren't nearly as rewarding.Honestly, it says a lot about Archie that we were/are in both Garland and Romeo's final groups when he has only been our head coach since March. Coming from Dayton, he wasn't even recruiting these guys till he got to IU. They weren't even giving Crean a sniff.

IUCrazy2: The response to IUScott was about Jerry Meyer's recent ROMEO prediction, NOT Garland's
Congratulations on your grammatical victory on a day otherwise filled with few victory's...uh, victories.Victories is the plural of victory.
