#2 PG (#9 overall) visiting Sunday for the Maryland game.

 

‏@EvanDaniels: Darius Garland impresses in win in front of L'Ville & Vandy | Sets Indiana visit | Story: http://www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1648563-2018-darius-garland-leads-team-title-game… 

 

At this stage, Garland claims scholarship offers from Arizona State, Baylor, Louisville, Memphis, Tennessee, Wake Forest, UCLA, Vanderbilt and Virginia. Texas, Ohio State and Connecticut have also shown interest.

 
While it's still early, Garland said there are a handful of schools he's started to develop strong relationships with. "Of course Louisville, Vanderbilt, Ohio State, Indiana, Tennessee and Texas," he responded when asked about who he had built strong bonds with. 

 

Interesting. Heard Crean was in Nashville a few weeks back but couldn't find out who he was out there for. Guess we have our answer.

Do believe he is up to 6-2 according to this article...

Evaluation

 

One of the premier lead guard prospects in the 2018 class, Garland possesses good size, length and quickness for the position. Garland plays at a good pace and changes his speeds well. Garland is a quality passer that can whip pinpoint passes with either hand. Although young, Garland has already shown a strong ability to operate in pick and roll situations. The 6-foot-2 guard makes good decision coming off screens and is a threat to find an open teammate, step behind a screen and bury a shot or make a play from the mid-range area. One of Garland's biggest strengths is his ability to make shots from three. He has deep range on his shot, good shot preparation and a fairly quick release. He's also developed a comfort level from mid-range, where he's capable of connecting on pull-ups or dropping in floaters.

2018 Darius Garland looks like he’s 11 years old, but he is a fiery competitor. Brentwood up 20-11 over Ensworth after 1 in Tenn. action

 

Brentwood won 82-49 and repeated as state champs. Garland with 18 pts.

247Sports still listing him at 5' 11":

 

Garland, a 5-11 point guard from Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy, unofficially visited Indiana today.

He is ranked No. 15 in the 247Sports Composite.

Louisville, Tennessee and Vanderbilt watched him during the state tournament.

We've had some good luck with our most recent shorter PG!

Fwiw, Stallings had a pretty good relationship with Garland. Now he's moved to Pitt. Vandy was in there initially due to distance/locality and believe Garland's Mom may work at Vandy. I'd expect interest to continue due to that but probably hurts Vandy. I'd expect Pitt to get involved.
