Certainly possible. If Garland commits, then Romeo follows suit. The cat would be too out of the bag to take the visit to Kansas

Why Garland is so important btw

While I try not to read too much into the CB picks, Slater, the #1 ‘ranked’ predictor on their site in terms of accuracy percentage, just chose RL and DG to Indiana. Could (and probably is) mostly based on others flipping, but it can’t be BAD news...

Every time I watch this I get goosebumps. Archie puts that structure in our offense. I think by taking away the confusion of trying to create on your own will help our current team score points. Just seeing the back cuts, cross screens, pick and rolls is refreshing. I also enjoy the way Archie communicates it so you follow along and execute without a lot of extra explaining. Darius would absolutely excel under Coach Miller.

So you're saying there isn't going to be any signs held up from the coaches on the bench this year?????

I think those signs may have been burned lol. Archie specifically talks about the PG getting the action started and everyone reacting to it so he doesn’t have to tell it from the bench.

You are correct. It was a genius idea.

It was actually Coach Olstrom who came up with the idea.

True story: On Saturday before HH around 2:00 or so, some family members and I were walking down Walnut street heading to Brothers to get some drinks before the event. I happened to look at some people getting out of their vehicle parked in a spot on the street, and it just happened to be Darius and his family. I went right up to Darius and said “You’re Darius, right?”, and he smiled and nodded. I shook his hand and said “well thank you for coming and we’re very excited that you’re here.” He smiled and said thank you and then I walked off. I turned to one of my brothers and said “that was Darius Garland! He’s one of the top recruits we are trying to get!” He laughed and was in awe that I noticed him and knew who he was. (He’s not nearly as obsessed with IU b-ball as I am, haha). Anyways, you can thank me for that moment with Darius as the tipping point that made him fall in love with the place, hahaha, just kidding. I did indeed think it was really cool that I saw him out and about though! 

They were headed to Malibu for a late lunch-early dinner.

Let's all just sit back drink our coffee this morning and be happy we have a coach that has a plan. He knows how to recruit, coach and represent IU. Good days are ahead. We have our PG of the future. Now, lets wait to hear from our SG of the future. Then we will move on to our PF of the future.

We have him. So you have also heard good things?  And PF of the future is TJD or Brooks maybe?

Yes and the first on the PF.

He’ll be the first domino to fall. After that, Romeo is a no doubter

Garland was very close to announcing last night. Some even had articles written. Haven't got word on what the delay is/was, but sounds like his family wanted to be respectful to the other schools involved as well as non immediate family. Shared w a few last night, but in case it still happened didn't wanna post on the thread. Tuesday or Wednesday would be my best bet if I were a gambling man.

Coffee???  I've skipped my morning routine and went straight to celebratory champagne, lol.  Does anyone know what type of student Garland is?  I'm curious about the academics of the incoming classes.

I like your style. He is a very good student, just so you know for the future Romeo is also :-)

Let's put it this way...he has gone to Brentwood Academy for high school. 

He's no Luegentz Dort.
