I think we have the same chance as KU & VU.

He broke my perfect streak. Good for him staying home. The one thing I didn't care for is he played all the schools for attention. He knew two weeks ago he was going to Vandy. But he told each coaching staff what they wanted to hear. Then it gets leaked to ESPN 3 hours before the announcement but he hasn't even told any of the coaches. The Garlands did a great job with the recruitment up until today.

I thought it was 3:45 Bloomington time. 2:45 Nashville

I agree with this. I think it is IU but as you said no one knows yet. The coaching staff doesn't know yet but from my conversations with the staff, they feel very good about it his recruitment and conversations they have had with him. All of this is opinion of it all and I still think it is IU

I love Bill Walton. We always called him carrottop

Holy cow that is exciting. That might have been a team that not even Crean could have screwed up. LOL Just kidding

As someone who spent several summers following the Grateful Dead I like nature too.

Vandy is the home school like IU was to Wilkes. Were the UCLA for Garland going away from home.

Yes I believe so.

No I'm not saying that. I don't think he will Tuesday. I'm just saying stay ahead of the game and get his jersey now.

Or D all of the above

Because Monday seems like forever right now

Smart way to get ahead of the curve. Early Christmas shopping is done for you. Make sure on Tuesday you order the Romeo one too. Keep both receipts just in case

Well that is actually true. Yes my afternoon is involving drinks before the game.

Based on a mixture of many things :-)

YES

I think we need to move on to a more serious question. What number is Darius going to wear while he is at IU?

8??? Did they add some

Nothing has changed on my end. It's gameday. We will be 2-0 going into a top 25 game when he announces for IU. I don't think even Shittu is that big of a deal because when he comes to IU he can play with Davis who will be more experienced and more NBA ready than Shittu. I'm not reaching out to any my contacts this weekend since we have two games to get ready for. Unless someone tells me something to make me change my mind It's IU.

It a different poster just saying what he's heard like we all do. But he is close to the Brentwood staff and has had some tidbits all summer long about Garland.

No nothing but if we do have to wait all weekend at least we should be 2-0 by then.

We'll save you a seat on the Believe train though. But you will be on the caboose

Yes I can see that. I'm trying to think of an IU player that I can think of, maybe Jeff Newton. I want to say Darryl Thomas but he is more of an inside player and I think Forrester will be both inside and out. I just think he will be a good 4-year player.

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 think he might end up being one of the best if not the best recruit in this class not named Romeo or Darius. Just think he has always played on teams with stars on it. So he will know how to fit in nicely and be a mature upper classman.
