Romeo Now #26!

I would think he will be if that's the true sentiment. On the other hand, I really doubt it is and I doubt he thinks he's going to improve his stock in college.
Just looked at two current draft boards and he is 9th and 13th. Dropped some but not enough to make him stay.
May just be his body language but it looks like he hates playing here. He’ll take whatever money he can and get out of this mess.
He'll do workouts and whatnot for the teams in the Spring. His draft status will be more about that than anything he did or didn't do on a deficient IU roster. I'm not a draft-watcher, but top 10 doesn't seem out of line.
agree fully in principle...but there is a growing list of IU players who left early and never sniffed the lottery. Becoming all too common.
Anyone who thinks Romeo is sticking around for a second year of this is delusional. He doesn't appear to be enjoying it now and if the OAD rule had been dropped already, he would have never stepped foot on campus.
Personally I'm counting the days 'til the OAD rule is gone. If 18 yr olds want to go right into D league, G league or whatever the hell they're gonna call it, let them. Almost seems unconstitutional to prohibit them from moving to that level if they want and have the skills. I'm actually looking forward to the prospects of college ball beyond world wide wes and his wannabees.
College Basketball is much less watchable now than 20+ years ago, with possibly the top 20 or 30 HS tplayers jumping straight to the G-League, the G-League will suddenly have more high end future NBA talent than college basketball. At that point I will watch IU and the NBA and G-League.
Zero chance. He is a top 10 pick. Do your research crying boy. You are too emotional to handle sports.

I'll tell you losers. If Romeo is a top 10 pick I will leave this site for GOOD I promise. If he isn't you all leave. Any takers.
I don't agree. Did it hurt college bball back when they could go straight to the pros? I don't think it did.
The small number of players it will affect will minimize the negative impact on the college game. The one and done factories like Duke and UK will be hurt the worst. How is that a bad thing?
I would miss my monkey who constantly makes a fool of him/herself if you left.
This draft is weak compared to recent drafts.
ESPN has the best draft guy in Giovany who earned his stripes running draftexpress then ESPN bought that site. He still has him 5th or 6th though he hasn't done an update in some time. Same with CBS.
EDIT: It seems Giovany updated his rankings last night on 2/12 and Romeo is still #5.
Most other sites make knee jerk reactions. This is the only site that has him outside the lotto that I have seen. NBA teams won't be fooled by IU's lackluster season that has impacted him not living up to high expectations. Once Romeo goes to the draft camps he will prove his top 10 ranking. He has elite athleticism that compares to others in the top 10 except Zion who physically seems in a class by himself.

Agreed on the watch-a-bility of current NCAA ball. But I think it's because they (NCAA) quickened and opened the game up to make it more like the NBA. So many 3 pointers now, even the bigs are shooting 21 footers. Lower shooting percentages as a result. Teams don't run as much traditional structured offense like we saw with IU and the motion back in in the 70s/80s, even into the 90s. Lots of open post offense now. Watching IU run screens for Alford, Edwards and Calbert was almost like artwork. Just don't see as much of that today. Game just looks a lot different and honestly, not really in a pleasant way. Of course, it has looked much less appealing in Bloomington over the past 6 weeks. I enjoyed the Marquette game immensely and convinced myself that we 'were back'. That view has been self-corrected in recent weeks unfortunately.
agreed. What coach is going to tell a top recruit he won't prepare him for the nba?
the nba drafts on potential as well as Zion Williamson-like awesomeness. Frankly, if he isn't going to take charge of a game and dominate when needed, either because he can't or he wont, then let him go to the NBA.
These draft projections can be all over the place and its difficult to project whether an NBA team is looking for a specific position or will draft and then trade someone, etc but I agree it appears highly unlikely that Romeo will fall out of the lottery (14th). Romeo is a prime example of why NBA owners like the OAD - a further chance to evaluate before using a high draft pick
Who would enjoy this clown show? I feel bad for him. He made a big mistake coming to IU.
Yea, Vandy is having a stellar year.
He was never going to Vandy. He was Adidas only. Should’ve just stuck with louisville or moved to Kansas. Something he’ll probably always regret. I feel bad for the kid.
Go look at most mock draft boards. The almost all have him in the top 10 still.
is it that far away? i thought it started with the 2019 class. probably explains why i haven't heard any talk about top recruits going straight to the nba. why does it take 3 years to implement? not very complicated
Romeo was gone the day he committed. Put down the crack pipe op. Unc seems to be the only school to get kids to stay 2 years longer than they should. He’s not coming back
I'll take that bet. And you can't just makeup a new username and return. You're gone for good bub.
