We meet again: Parallels exist between Langford and Dosunmu

CHAMPAIGN — Ayo Dosunmu had an invitation-only ceremony when he announced his college commitment. Still, you couldn't squeeze another person in the Jordan Brand store in downtown Chicago.

Romeo Langford's invitation went out to bascially the entire state of Indiana. People camped out in front of New Albany (Ind.) High School and filled the gym.

Both sets of fan bases went home happy. Dosunmu picked Illinois in October 2017. Langford went a similar route, committing to Indiana in April of last year.

Two elite players that decided to stay home. Two pivotal recruiting wins for Brad Underwood and Archie Miller, respectively, that will square off for the first time in their college careers at 6 p.
