Indiana Basketball: How Romeo Langford can help the 2018 recruiting class
By Eric Brown
Indiana Basketball still has one offer out for the 2018 recruiting class, to Romeo Langford. If he chooses to attend Indiana, he could become legendary.
Coming off his first recruiting class with the Indiana Hoosiers, Archie Miller will be looking to one up himself with the 2018 class. So far, the Hoosiers have an excellent class that ranks 20th in the nation, and fourth in the Big Ten. However, Miller can make the 2018 season even better if he can convince Romeo Langford, one of the top in-state recruits to come to Bloomington.

As a 6-5 shooting guard out of New Albany, Indiana, Langford could become the next legendary Indiana basketball player if he chooses to wear the candy striped pants. Currently averaging 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 3 assists, he has led his team to a 21-1 record with the Indiana Highschool playoffs coming up. He is also closing in on the state of Indiana’s all-time scoring record.
How can he help the 2018 class?
So far the 2018 class can be great in their own right, Rob Phinisee has a chance to start in his freshman season if all the cards are played right. Jerome Hunter and Damezi Anderson will likely become rotational players next season, along with Jake Forrester bringing up the rear end of the recruiting class. With three 4-star recruits, and a 3-star recruit, Indiana has a chance to not only add a 5-star recruit, but improve their class enough to potentially get into the top ten.
With Freddie McSwain Jr, Robert Johnson, and Josh Newkirk graduating this season, Langford will likely step right into the starting rotation. And for an Indiana team that has struggled to score in the 2017-2018 season, Langford’s scoring prowess will help immensely.
