Longtime IU fan here. I was hopeful that Romeo could be a star that could perhaps take us back to the promised land but it doesn't look like it's going to happen. It looks like to me that he's going though the motions to try and impress the scouts for the NBA more than playing for the team. This is symptom of the NBA turing the NCAA as it's one year training camp but it's also coaching. I'm pulling for Archie but so far he's not impressed me in any way shape or form. I do have to say that the Dukes to the world do an amazing job getting their one year kids to play hard within their system while still winning and playing a team game. IU clearly sucks at this (see Blackmon, VonLeh, Romeo, ....). We would do better to just recruit 3 and 4 year kids and build something to be proud of. This sucks and is just embarrassing! In a state filed with shooters we rarely seem to have any.
One and dones just don't seem to be IU's thing!

All you grown men who stood in line and paid good $ for Romeo-signed basketballs better hop onto eBay and sell them for $2 while you can still get anything for them.
Yeah, I wasn't one of them. I still like the kid, he's just overrated and not ready. A product of the modern environment unfortunately.
I'd agree with that, it works for Duke and UK, but I'd prefer the model of a UNC or Villanova, who never rebuild, just reload and have a culture of winning … kinda like what we used to have and why we have these expectations
He still wouldn't have the outside shot that as a guard he should have had that highly rated. Just a better version of Rick Calloway.Slasher type only unless he works hard on it in the future.NBA is all about potential though.
So you are saying his weaknesses are masked when defenses have to focus on better players around him? Ok, that is the description of an NBA role player, not a starter.
All sounds good until one of those guys is guarding him.
