(2020) PF/C - Dawson Garcia to Minnesota

[Hardwood83 4,725]

That is interesting. Doesn't seem to be a lot in common between Memphis, IU or Marquette. Culture, style, location, etc. 

I will be really excited if he chooses IU. 

[JHoosier914 1,187]

I have heard he is expected to announce in November.  Does any body know if that might mean he plans to announce and sign?  Announce and sign in the late period?  Perhaps announce BEFORE the early signing period?

Announce and sign in the early signing period seems the most likely according to most of the people covering his recruitment

This feels like another case where we all get excited about a recruit that IU gets in on late, takes an official visit, then goes somewhere else.  It's been quite a while since we've won one like this for a top 50 guy from out of state.

I can't help but feeling like I'm getting my hopes up only for him to choose Marquette.

Yeah but have the previous out of state players had buddies that were already committed to IU in their ear about joining them? I can’t recall that being the case and in today’s day of recruiting that makes a difference.

In the end it was close, but he thought his poor free throw numbers at IU would hinder his draft stock

What did I miss? Did he commit to Marquette?

People joked earlier in the week that the winner of the scrimmage gets Garcia. Marquette won the scrimmage.
Garcia will be at IU this weekend for an official visit

I'll be shocked if he picks IU

I won’t be, and I’d hold any opinions until after his official this weekend. Archie has been doing quite well as a recruiter and there’s definitely legitimate interest from Garcia.

In general, my sense is that there seems to be some good juju going on in the program with TJD, Armaan, and Brunk in the fold and after the commitments of Leal, Galloway, and Geronimo.

Anything summary worthy?

I’d be curious if Chris007 is hearing anything?

My guess he is hearing it’s between Marquette and IU. IU has a chance to improve its position with a great official visit. Which is almost a given since majority of officials go really well. If Garcia connects with current team and staff then maybe he won’t need to visit Marquette again before deciding in the early signing period. Marquette has been on him the longest and have made him a priority early. The reason people think Marquette is a slight favorite is because he took an official visit as a junior and has been there on a couple unofficials. This will be his first time on IU’s campus so really important visit to show off all that Assembly Hall and Cook Hall has to offer. The job Archie and Ostrom have done to be in this position we a 5 star kid before he has even stepped on campus shouldn’t be ignored

Guy who works for Rivals just said he thinks Garcia to IU is a "90% chance" based on what he's hearing.
