Why did Langford delay thumb surgery?

- Start date
Of course he wasn't injured. He was faking . . . Then he had a surgery to cover up that he was faking an injury . . .
Nobody said he wasn't injured. But some of us do not use it as a lame excuse to not make the tourney. If it was bothering him much, why do you think he'd shoot so much from the arc?
Any player that can get on the court and play does not get an injury excuse. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.
People are complaining how soft he is now. Actually, they are saying it so much, he has fallen out of the lottery in almost every draft board. By the way who was the leading scorer on Wichita State, the answer is no1 cares cuz they sucked. He also took more shots then anyone on our team. Mello did that a lot for the Knicks, Romeo was Mello of college basketball last year. A black hole of awfulness for a shitty team.
Own saying that?
I will own saying this:
"we have a chance" - guess you missed that part, huh?
And note when I said this: Sept 5th of last year. Before Hunter was lost for the season; before concussions to Phinisee and Thompson; before Romeo tore a ligament in his shooting hand in the Duke game and played with a wrap the rest of the year.
Yeah - I'll own saying what I said on Sept 5th. But will you own a total lack of reading comprehension? A snowball has a better chance in Hades that you ever owning that . . .
You realize he wore the exact same wrap since half way through his senior year for every single game there on after? Literally not one game did he ever not wear the exact same wrap between the first time he wore it half way through his senior year and his final game. He did not wear it for half of the Nortwestern game, but got it wrapped midgame. So let me get this straight.... He did something in the duke game "tore a ligament" that caused him to not alter his wrap in anyway but somehow effected him to shoot a bit better than his awfulness before that point? (was shooting about 26% from three before the season altering ligament tare and obvious reason for him being the worst three point shooter in IU history.....) maybe I should put one of those stupid purple faces so you get the point? Don't call anyone stupid. Fact is Romeo is not the player he was ranked to be and IU was awful with him.
Romeo was injured, and STILL led IU in scoring. Romeo is every bit the player he was ranked to be when healthy. Romeo could be the steal of the draft.
So was the surgery that he had and the cast he is wearing now all fake too?
I will own saying this:
How good this team will be boils down to one key factor - point guard play.
DG, RP or AD provide sound, solid play - we have a chance to win the B1G
One of those 3 (or someone else) provides exceptional performance - we have a chance to go very deep in NCAA Tournament, perhaps FF.
No one steps up? God forbid . . .
"we have a chance" - guess you missed that part, huh?

"exact same wrap" . . . again, the stupidity on here never ceases to amaze.
Do not confuse stupidity with intentionally incorrectly stating facts.
Juwan Morgan lead our team in scoring with 544 points. Romeo had 528. He did attempt 10 more shots then Juwan not sure who told you he was the leading scorer but they were wrong. Romeo will be lucky to be in the league in 5 years. He cant dribble shoot or pass at even close at the NBA level, couple that with his drive or lack there of and you are looking at a G league guy. I would bet the house he is never an All Star, hell I would bet in 10 years he is not even in the league.
I hope you are having fun Narrator, Romeo led the team with 395 shots last season. Glad you got your few buds to giggle tho, must be a good internet day for you, since you know nothing about IU basketball.

I will admit I never saw or watched a single HS game of his, or any HS recruit for that matter. Was given the info about his hand being wrapped halfway through from people that supposedly were big fans of his in HS and watched him play, so they were misinformed. I was wrong.
What I do know is he shot a point lower from three (26%) coming into the duke game. That was all home games against awful competition except for Arkansas. He showed he was a bad shooter in the opening 6 games, and continued that trend after the "injury" in the duke game that made him the bad shooter all season like you say. Stats tell me he was bad all season.
It just shows you how well reasoned he is. Basically not at all considering he just makes up bullshit to further his butthurt opinion.Romeo in his last game at New Albany against Warren Central, Seymour Semistate:

Yogie will go straight to Europe, Troy won't cut it in the G league and Thomas Bryant is straight to Europe. All opinions from the past. Not sure where Romeo will wind up, I don't know if anyone can know for sure. So many things can happen.
He did not wear a wrap in high school. He wore it at IU because he injured his hand. You don't know this because you're not an IU fan.
No my ignorant foolish non friend, he led the team in FGA, they don't track 'shots taken'. It's not a stat. Though you decided to present it as one.
The mistake you made was calling it 'shots' which we can only get from tracking it ourselves or estimate by adding (FGA+(FTA*.44)) and yes RL led in 'estimated' shots. Should have used to term 'FGA', which would have been correct, or the word 'probably' designating that it's most likely he led the team in shots. But you didn't because you're really not capable of detailed well informed thought. You're just making excuses and cherry picking to prove you're in the right to be mad and trying to pass it off as reason.
I know it's nitpicking, but you're so argumentative and self convinced of the importance of your opinion during your butthurt rants, and honestly, such a incessant douchebag that I decided you deserved it.
Sorry but everyone needs a hobby and trolling overly emotional irrational people like you, is mine.

seems like you have spent all afternoon replying to me, editing your posts about me, and talking to others about me. I like that you remember my past rants, you must really like me!
People do track shots taken, it is a stat. Trying to argue this, or present whatever you were trying to do, is asinine. If you go 1-3 from 3 and 2-5 from two you have taken 8 shots that game. You add up all the shots in every game and you get total shots. If you need help in 3rd grade math next week and the definition of simple words like stats, we can work out a self help hour for your retarded ass. You don't know much about basketball. You might know more about marijuana than me, but I am guessing I have over taken you in that department as well. You seem pretty stupid but full of self confidence. Enoy stalking me
his name is Yogi, and I thought he would get drafted, so I was wrong. TB going str8 to Europe was not even an opinion retards had. Troy was my man I was on the he will be in the NBA one day train. Glad you read some other stupid opinions but they have nothing to do with me. Romeo, however, will not have a great career in the NBA that is my opinion.
So you gonna own that he is an awful shooter before his season altering injury at duke? Why was he so bad in his first 6 games against awful competition?
Juwan leads the team in total points scored and Romeo leads the team in scoring average.
Here are Romeo's stats from high school.
192-555 from behind the arc - a 35% career 3-pt shooter.
His first 6 games at IU?
From 3 pt range:
Chicago St. 0-3
Montana St. 1-4
Marquette 1-5
at Arkansas 2-5
UT Arlington 0-3
UC Davis 2-3
Avg 30.43%
Did you take into account ALL shots Romeo took? Check out the link to the stats:
1st 6 games: 39-75 All FG attempts (52%), 34-52 2-pt shots (65.3%)
After injury?
3-pt attempts: 27-102 (26.4%)
All FG attempts: 138-320 (43.1%)
2-pt attempts: 111-218 (50.9%)
So, to recap:
Romeo - a career 35% 3-pt shooter in high school - shot a little over 30% from behind the arc his first 6 games. That average dropped to 26.4% after the injury. He shot 52% on all FG 1st 6 games; that dropped to 43.1%. Finally, his two-point attempts (which was his bread-and-butter) dropped nearly FIFTEEN percentage points!
Yeah, that ligament injury didn't hinder him a damn bit, did it? As @T.M.P. said, you are thoroughly incapable of detailed, well informed thought. Hell, you somehow think SHOTS TAKEN is a stat! Just how big of an idiot are you?
That look's like 6 for 23 = 26% to me.
Romeo has not proved to anyone that he can shoot outside. Maybe he hits more when he plays on the court with his name on it, but you can't change the past. The kid was a bad outside shooter at IU. End of story. Literally.
Could he get better? Without question; he’s admitted as much in interviews with pro teams.
But drop 15 percentage points on his 2pt attempts? You can’t tell me that wrap/injury did impact his performance.

Lol spend more time on 3rd grade math then searching the internet for memes. You called me an idiot like 5 times in this post, it is all based on me being wrong, and you couldn’t even add the numbers you presented up correctly. God you’re an idiot. You and your boy TPMS are meant for each other.
1+3=4
3-1=2
1/4=.25
1*4=4
I can help with any other mathematical problems you might struggle with! Sorry you are mentally challenged.
His 2 pt average dropped 15 percentage points. Only an idiot such as yourself would refuse to acknowledge the significance.
Yeah, I missed one attempt. Makes the rest of the argument invalid.
Please show us where “shots taken” is a stat. This ought to be good . . .
My guess would be attacking the basket put the hand at risk for additional hard contact and potentially more damage, so he tried to minimize that risk.
Did the doctors ask him for an autograph on the way out?
Your assertion of my commentary is fake.
You mean like the game winner vs Wisconsin in which he drove to the bucket?

Someone asked why he shot so often from 3, and I gave a potential answer. Where did I or anyone say he stopped going to the basket all together??? That is right, no where

It was all part of “Grand Plan” masterminded by “Powers That Be” while Romeo was still in high school when it was recognized that Romeo’s reticent personality would not translate well to college ball, let alone the NBA. The tape and then the cast were timed to keep him out of personal drills such that his NBA draft status would have to be based upon pre “injury” to shooting hand high school hype of overblown proportion. “Grand Plan” was designed to maximize profits from signing bonus before ever having to perform on NBA floor. Yeah, something along that line, I believe. Thanks for asking.
