Tate | Langford's pick of IU highlights sway of Adidas

Romeo is in love again ... 400-plus years later with college basketball and Indiana University.

And, who knows, the 19-year-old with the Shakespearean name, Romeo Langford, may ultimately extend this romantic attachment beyond a nine-month affair, which is so often not the case with the game's one-and-dones.

Nor was it Romeo's infatuation with the candy-striped uniforms.
