Trying to justify your acceptance of mediocrity is starting to stress you, isn’t it? You and the other settlers are getting even more desperate for validation . . . Too funny.
Some posters are eating crow tonight . . .

“If they would have been more on the national radar, and he would have not hurt his thumb, he probably would have been even more discussed,” Celtics coach Brad Stevens said at the Auerbach Center on Thursday. “He’s a guy we were all aware of before his first game at IU.”
Coach Stevens sure doesnt sound like Archie’s Hoosiers helped Romeo much...

giving up after year two in a game that favors experience. dumb...
no, IU didn't get the run folks expected. but that's not what you said, dumbshit. you tied it directly to Archie because that's your one trick and you are bad at it.
side note: i do love it when you post links, knowing that your fragile egg-shell mind comprehends almost nothing you are reading or listening to. good stuff!
we'll all await your next fantastic post, you dumbshit....

Giving up? Nah. Arch(ie) will get at least four years, if not more, at IU. But you guys are wishfully oblivious to any and all things that would, in any way, be less than a starry-eyed fantasy of the state of the program. It’s why none of you can be taken seriously and it’s an easy clue that you’ve never seen IU compete at an elite level. Your silly name calling and insecurity only confirms it.
and that's the end of you. why read a poster with a reactionary username? that's on me for reading a dummy POS like you. problem solved. but best of luck with your ongoing d-baggery!
You’re smart to tap out since, as you’ve already admitted, you know little of IU hoops. Better to hang with your sunshiny friends and the corresponding lack of substance than live in the real world.
I only have one person on ignore so you have to be responding to him. He fancies himself as smart and clever, but in reality he's not smart enough to know he's stupid. He lowers the average IQ of the forum by double digits. He brings absolutely nothing of worth to the discussion. Ever. He's here to troll and nothing else. I don't know what university's sports teams he really supports, if any, but he's absolutely not an IU fan. He's certainly not a graduate because he's obviously not smart enough to graduate college. The ignore feature was developed for trolls like him. You should try it - it makes the place a little more pleasant and a lot more intelligent.

Look who’s back for another heaping helping of validation! The non-IU troll with the fake cv. Funny that you can’t stay away. Remember, “Safety First!”
To prove you correct, he replied to you 5 minutes later. He is such an idiot that he is apparently unable to comprehend that you have him on ignore and what that means. He does seem to care about your safety, so I'll pass his message along just this one time:
PranksterMary said, "Look who’s back for another heaping helping of validation! The non-IU troll with the fake cv. Funny that you can’t stay away. Remember, “Safety First!”."
No surprise at all - he is stupid enough to waste time hunting and pecking on his keyboard to reply to a poster that will never see it. He’s done it before.
That “safety first” thing is in reference to an incredibly lame puddle joke which makes no sense at all. He inexplicably thinks it’s witty. The little troll is a stupid and witless person trying to post the way he imagines a smart and witty person would post. It’s actually sad. Maybe he can take some dimwitted pleasure in knowing that he’s the only person I’ve put on ignore. He’s in first place on a totally worthless poster list of one.

Well maybe I just don't know how the ignore feature works since I never use it myself but if he truly had him on ignore then the other guy should never have been able to see his post to respond to it. Is this wrong?
If you ignore someone they can see your posts, but you can’t see theirs. This place is totally devoid of PranksterMary’s posts for me, which is nice.
He already knew I replied to him. Trust me. That’s why I replied.
I’m not joking, though I’m not surprised that’s repeatedly gone over your head. It’s a testament to your “modest” level of intelligence, cv inventor.
He actually was listed in the top 5 in many mock drafts before the season started. I linked around a dozen different mocks that had him 8 or higher in a thread that got removed the other day
Pretty lazy on your part but ok I'll list a couple. They're easy to find.

This isn't counting the sites that had him in this range preseason but update their rankings instead of making a new page for them.
They had a very good year but with 3 of the first 25 picks and a returning all American on his team there is no way he should have got smacked in the sweet 16 like he did. It's rare to have that much pro talent and experience combined on a college team so if you're judging just on how they did in the tournament then it has to be looked at as a disappointing finish.
See in bold above.
Did Romeo drop? Yeah - but he played with a busted thumb from the Duke game on, which really hindered his outside shooting from a consistency standpoint. I've heard several complaints from people about he didn't have a high motor - think the kid may have been playing cautious due to not wanting to aggravate the thumb?
Yet - with Archie's poor coaching taking its toll - he still was a lottery pick.
I noted two other players above - Zion and Garland. Just how many of the mocks BEFORE the season actually started had Williamson going in the 4-5 range? And Garland? Kid played all of FIVE GAMES, was ranked in the top 10 in ONE of your rankings above - yet was picked 5th??
And let's talk about some other kids - Cam Reddish, Nazzir Little, Keldon Johnson & Quentin Grimes. Here are their rankings from above:
Reddish - 2,3,3,2,2,4,3,3,3,4
Little - 3,2,5,3,3,5,4,4,5,3
Johnson - 8,8,9,8,10,11,7,9,6,6
Grimes - 7,7,6,5,9,9,19,10,4,5
So how did they fare in the draft? Reddish went 10th to Atlanta. Little was chosen 25th by Portland. Johnson was drafted 29th by San Antonio.
And Grimes? Pulled out of the draft after some less than glamorous evaluations. He now won't even be going back to Kansas.
So, did Coach K, Roy Williams, John Calipari and Bill Self fail all of these players? Reddish you can somewhat understand because of Barrett and Zion, but the other 3? Maybe, just maybe, some of those mocks aren't all that accurate to begin with, you think?
Was that enough effort for you? Probably didn't get to your post in a timely fashion because I was working on this - Meeting of the Negative Nancy Club.. But, hey, I don't put any effort into my point of view . . .
You have no idea - none - of the true impact of Langford’s thumb injury, and you definitely made up the “really hindered” commentary. OhioBoiler proved you wrong, and your response is to obfuscate and make more excuses. It’s why no one believes anything you say here.See in bold above.

Always your dodge when you can’t reply with facts and substance - accuse someone of being another poster. It’s the favorite of cowards like you who don’t know IU hoops. A classic pretender.
OhioBoiler refuted what you said with proof. You replied with excuses and a weak attempt at diversion. It’s why no one takes anything you say seriously.
What was lazy is that you asked 2 different people for links to something that took one Google search. Didn't think that comment would strike the nerve it obviously did.See in bold above.

As far as the extremely long response you just gave, it has little to do with the point and changes the discussion completely.
Here's a rundown.
@cryano said Romeo was looked at as a "top 5 pick or so" before the year.
You called him out like many here do with every post he makes asking if he could provide a link.
Since I had just looked the info up and provided it in another thread I knew what I was talking about and agreed with @cryano
You then questioned me and asked for the links again.
I provided 11 different mock drafts that had him as a top 8 pick which certainly backs up @cryano's "top 5 or so" claim. Also as I've already said there were more mocks that had him higher but some places update their same page rather than create a new page. This is the point where you probably should've conceded that @cryano was correct with his statement but...
Now you're discrediting the proof I provided for Romeo because of where it had other players. This has nothing to do with other players or other coaches. If you want to turn this into an Archie discussion or a Zion discussion then I'm stepping out of it. I was asked for links of Romeo which I provided.
As for why Romeo slipped down draft boards from that time I don't know or care. I'm happy, regardless of where he went in the draft, that a good kid now has a career in the sport he loves. I will say though that you do hurt your own argument when say it was his thumb injury and then go on to mention Garland moving up the draft boards after his own injury.
I do agree with you on one thing here. Mock drafts aren't accurate especially in the preseason. If they were then there would be no reason to watch the actual draft just like if preseason rankings were accurate then there would be no reason to watch the season unfold. Just because it may not have been accurate though doesn't mean it didn't exist which is what the discussion was about. You got the proof you asked for. Time to just admit someone else was correct.
The number of your excuses? Oh, I think you vastly underestimate your ability and willingness to dodge and deny with an endless array of excuses. It’s one of the reasons no one takes you seriously. The fact that you ran away from Ohio Boiler is another classic example.
That’s kind of what happens when you bring facts and basic reasoning to Taz.
This is par for the course for TD. He dotes when it doesn’t fit his agenda, which is often. That you nailed him so easily isn’t surprising.
Which was the whole point. Which was why his "Archie killed his draft status" statement was so ridiculous.
As for the length? Hey, you asked for effort; I gave you effort. Would you bitch if you were hung with a new rope?
A mock draft can have you and I going 1 and 2 in the draft and even though it would be completely wrong it still exists. You wanted proof of what he claimed and that's what you got. I can't help that it upsets you.
No, I asked something from a guy who usually provides little to nothing to support his position.
Saying Archie coaching is a ignorant statement - because if that's true, then the same is true for Reddish, Little, Johnson and Grimes. And that's just not the case.
I didn't say thanks, though, for you providing the links. Thanks.
Like this kind of facts and basic reasoning?
Just curious - is it still happening?
Predictably, you come back with even more dodging and fluff, all because you can’t push back with facts. Posting GIFs is yet another method of deflection, but it’s still emptiness and devoid of any substance. OB refuted what you said. Totally and completely. And you couldn’t handle it. Your agenda and weakness betray you, which is why no one takes you seriously.No - usernames. I thought I made that quite clear.
I'm not getting in the middle of the Archie debate. I just presented the info I was asked for since I backed up the claim about Romeo.
