Whoa I missed a lot stuff here. And that’s mostly people losing their minds. This announcement doesn’t favor Vanderbilt whatsoever. IU will be fine

Does seem to be an advantageous time to commit to IU. The announcers will give national exposure as we play a ranked team. 
Chris007 where art thou?
It also opens them up to ask Archie during a post game presser to get even more exposure. 

He could announce Monday before the Vandy game or Tuesday, but instead is choosing Wednesday. Pretty sure thats for a reason and it’s not to avoid people on Twitter

Something to think about is when he’s going to notify the coaching staffs. Can you imagine calling Archie an hour before a big game, “Hey Coach, I know you have tip-off of a big game in an hour, but wanted to call and say thanks, but no thanks. Good luck tonight!”
This doesn’t seem like the type of recruitment where they give notification too much beforehand, as they haven’t seemed to want things getting out. 

My first thought it was good for iu. He’s gonna throw it in Archie’s face like that?

If he announced during a vandy game? The spin would be the same on this forum lol

Or Darius picks IU and IU upsets a top 25 team on the road

If you guys really wanna read into every detail why is no one mentioning Rabs has been the guy to break the last 3 Garland stories/news? Lol. Our last few fb recruits have gotten ahold of me or Weaver to let us know all the things Garland is doing with Rabs. Personally I dont read into it much but if people are really using his time of announcement as a dang negative for IU then c'mon lol.

Daniels saying he knows the college coaches still don’t know and he still says he doesn’t know which way it’s going

Guys I lost some hope with the Shittu news. But I've since read some pretty reassuring stuff, too. Today's "announcement" seems pretty innocuous. I'm still confident.

I've thought all along that we're looking at three to four years to get where we want to be. Coach Miller said it takes about three years to fully implement the defense the way he wants it played. Plus, we're adding a new offensive philosophy for players who have always done something different. We'll probably be doing much the same thing next year with a really young team I would expect to start really seeing what the future will look like in year three. After that, the fun should start in earnest.

It’s not. But everyone has to over analyze every single thing and go to an extreme with it

Still waiting for someone to honestly tell me why this is such a bad sign for IU.

As conspiracy theories go, this is both more pleasant and more plausible than the idea that IU is doomed because he's announcing at his high school.

I'm not that concerned about the "where" of the announcement.  Most of these kids make their announcement at their schools with the high school coach present.

It’s on IU Basketball’s Facebook Live. Probably the easiest route for most.

That is not a coaching staff that is confident. 

Vanderbilt is a baseball school...

In recruiting, you win some and lose more, however I think we get Darius. If we don't, I will not be disappointed. That's just recruiting and you move on to the next recruit.

SEASON. STARTS. TOMORROW. 

I agree. Everything I have been told since Hoosier Hysteria has been were getting both Romeo & Darius. The staff sold those two that weekend. Then he almost committed to us a day or two later. His dad has said he has known for a couple of weeks. Peegs guys keep getting calls to come down for interviews. Now his AAU coaches are telling people he is IU bound. His HS coaches have told people he is IU bound. We just need him to record a video saying "I'm Darius Garland and I'm a Hoosier" 

I’ve honestly been leaning toward him committing to Vandy for the last week or so, but I woke up this morning with this crazy gut feeling that we are getting him. So HoosierGuy I’m now 100% on the positivity bandwagon.

No matter what happens, i am just glad the season starts tomorrow. 
If he commits to IU then that's fantastic
If he commits to Vandy, at least we have games to watch and the actual team on the court to talk about and try (keyword try) to take my mind of his recruitment ha

Either way, this kid is a class act and ill root for him either way...at least twice a year when they play this one school in the SEC i dont think any of us are fond of.
