This is the scariest Romeo Langford story you'll ever read.

Don't worry, amateur (?) hoops obsessives -- the author delivers "good news" in the sense that he believes Romeo will be attending Indiana University. I'm the only crackpot insisting on knowing what his major will be.

Why Romeo Langford Appears to be Going to Indiana + Senior Year Mix Tape, by Mike Schumann (The Daily Hoosier)

But back to that April visit to Bloomington. It is really one of three things: (1) part of the decision process, (2) a confirmatory visit, or (3) they are making the trip to tell the staff that they are going elsewhere. Which of these, after all this time, seems the most likely to you?

Rather, this passage is the terrifying part.

Tim Langford also stated that the family would like to make the announcement “out in the community“, perhaps with the mayor of New Albany (an IU graduate) involved.

If you'll excuse me, it's time for a shower.

I'd hate to see Langford sully his stellar reputation by indulging the mayor in what would amount to being co-opted as a re-election campaign prop.

Don't do, Romeo.

As an aside, I'd pick Vandy. As Bluegill dreamed the other day, Romeo could go to Vanderbilt, get an education and then play his way through the top-tier Europe leagues.

Must read: "The General Who Never Was: Requiem for Bobby Knight."

This is a wonderful piece of writing, and the city of New Albany enjoys cameos peripherally, throughout, because the author has family ties here.

Speaking for myself, I never fell into the category described by Collins: "No boy had any business loving anything as much as I loved Indiana basketball." Decades later, at crunch time, I sided with Murray Sperber, not the so-called General. The good old days never really were.

To me, Bob Knight always has been a cautionary tale, perhaps a morality play, about how one can be very good at something, but also be consumed by personal flaws. You simply cannot buy into your own cult without there being damaging issues.

It isn't sports; it's psychology. Kudos to Jeremy Collins.

The General Who Never Was: Requiem for Bobby Knight, by Jeremy Collins (SB Nation)

... When Knight was fired from Indiana, Mike Krzyzewski called it “tragic.” And it was. Not because Knight was a victim, but because his time at Indiana should’ve added up to something more.
