Indiana Basketball: Five in-state players Indiana should try to land in the class of 2018
By Michael Foy
1. Romeo Langford 6-4 SG
Romeo is an incredible talent being wooed by a who’s who of college coaches. The kid is so skilled, so smooth, and so efficient, that there is no surprise that he is a top-three player nationally. If IU were to land him, that would be one powerful statement. The Hoosiers could strike out on everyone else on this list, but if they landed Langford, oh baby, it would be good.
Miller will have a competition trying to land Langford as coaches like Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, John Calipari, and Rick Pitino are frequent visitors at his games. Roy Williams actually used his first visit after North Carolina’s National Title run to visit Langford at his school. That’s how coveted he is.

Romeo averaged 28.7 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 3.4 apg, 2.1 spg, and 2.1 bpg as a junior. He has a silky smooth shot and would be a program-changing player for any team he decides to sign with. Indiana fans pray that is IU, but Miller will have his work cut out for him with this one.
