Romeo Langford, the 6-foot-5 shooting guard from New Albany (IN) Senior High School, enjoyed his weekend official visit to North Carolina.
“It when good,” said Tim Langford, the player’s father. “They said he can fit well in their style a pace. They like too push the ball.”
The visit came on the heels of Carolina on Friday avoiding major penalties after an NCAA infractions committee panel “could not conclude” there were academic violations in the multi-year case focused on irregular courses.

Langford has taken official visits to Vanderbilt (Sept. 22), UCLA (Sept. 29) and North Carolina and plans to hit Kansas (Oct. 27), with an unofficial visit to Indiana planned for later this month (Oct. 21). He recently cut Louisville from his list amid allegations against the school. Kentucky is also included on Langford’s final list.
Devon Dotson, the 6-foot-2, 180-pound point guard from Providence Day (NC) School and Team Charlotte (NC), committed to Kansas on Friday.
Dotson also considered Maryland, and was also recruited by UCLA, Florida and Clemson, among others.
Dotson averaged 18.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game this summer on the AAU circuit playing for former NBA guard Jeff McInnis.
“I think he’s one of the most explosive guys getting to the basket,” McInnis said by phone. “He gets to the basket at will. He has an improved jump shot. He’s a dog, he’s tough on the court, he don’t back down. He plays defense the same way he plays offense. That’s what I always liked about him.
“I think he’ll bring leadership, he’s a winner. We won every year that I’ve had him. Everywhere he goes, he wins. So I think he’s a winner.”

Kansas expects to lose several players in 2018, including point guard Devonte’ Graham and will have a need for Dotson, the No. 26-ranked player in the 2018 ESPN 100.
