Why Romeo Langford decided to stay in Indiana after all

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- After Indiana's season-opening win over Chicago State, freshman guard Romeo Langford stuck around and signed autographs for fans for about 15 minutes.

For most freshmen, it would be a new experience. For Langford, it was like a night off.

"It was weird not having to sit down at a table and sign for, like, two hours," he said one morning earlier this month.

Two hours was the norm for Langford after his games at New Albany High School in Indiana, where hundreds of people would wait for an autograph from arguably the biggest basketball star in the state not named Victor Oladipo.
