Yeah, and in his tweet, he very noticeably capitalized THE when referencing THE Ohio State University.   Maybe it means something; maybe it doesn't.   Later saw a Rabby tweet that we are still in the hunt but the full details are behind the paywall.

I have a feeling that's where Eric Hunter ends up. Henry and Hunter are on the same team right?

Yes.

Henry also ribbed Rabjohns for tweeting that Damezi Facetimed RP.

He wanted to be a Hoosier. Idk what to say, can't get them all.

Romeo with a rough afternoon game.  11 pts. on 4-12 from the floor and an ugly 7 TO's.   I really wonder if there's more to his back/hip problem.

John Beilein, Richard Pitino, Kelvin Sampson, Jay Wright, Seton Hall, Florida all on hand for 18 G Nate Hinton & Team Loaded v Mass Rivals (David Duke)

Remember, all these games are in Vegas and Romeo's afternoon game is over.

As should be the case. Archie shouldn't miss a game Romeo plays in this entire tournament. That'd be a sin

If RP commits to IU, I will say with 100% certainty we don't get Garland.

They are pretty much the exact same player with differences of skill level.

You think the #2 PG would be scared off by a 3 star who is on the fringe of the top 150?

He's going to face competition for playing time anywhere he goes.  Heck, Vanderbilt signed a 6'1" 4* PG in 2017, who would be a sophomore when Garland gets on campus.  I'd say he probably has a better chance of beating out Green/Phinisee than he does that guy.

No, I'm saying IU isn't going to use 2 spots for the same type of player. Plus I don't think Rob commits to IU if IU is targeting another PG in the same class.

For those 2 reasons I think it's safe to assume if one, then not the other. Both will only play the 1. It's not like a combo guard where you can sell PT 1-3.

If Garland wants to come, Archie won't say no. Doesn't matter the circumstances

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,683]

That's not how it will work out though.

If Rob commits, I am pretty certain he will have to be told we aren't getting another PG in the class.

It's the whole domino thing. No way IU takes 2 sub 6' PGs in one class.

Darius Garland is not below 6'

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,683]

Darius Garland is not below 6'

He is basically 5'11-6'1". Depending on what we trust. My point stands, he won't be playing the 2 or 3, IMO. Same with RP.

More like 6'2''. But yeah I do believe Phinisee is next. I think the duo of him and Romeo is more likely than Garland and Romeo. But I wouldn't be surprised if Garland came too

Garland isn't 6'2 at least he wasn't in April when I walked past him at Westfield. He is closer to 6 foot

Let's say he's 6'. Archie isn't gonna say no to him if he wants to come too

[Uspshoosier 46,379]

Of course not but in my opinion if IU takes Garland RP will go elsewhere just like if IU takes RP, Garland will go elsewhere. Same goes for Garland and tre jones. If one goes to Duke the other will go elsewhere. These kids are super competitive and want to run their teams I don't see any of them playing together regardless of what I read

I'm just saying it won't work out that way. Of course Archie would take him but that is not how things will go. If we take RP, we aren't getting DG. It makes sense in every way, from RP, to DG, to Indiana. It's what is best for all parties.
