(2020) PF/C - Dawson Garcia to Minnesota

[JHoosier914 1,187]

Nice pic. But isn’t Garcia supposed to be something like 5 or 6 inches taller than those kids?

I thought the same thing. Could be slouching. Could be an old picture too

Well, in the pic he looks a few inches taller without shoes so I would say 5 or 6 inches is about right?  Also, not sure how long ago it was taken.

Just tell him if he commits and has a productive four years, the Jordan River will be renamed Dawson's Creek! (The Jordan really isn't much of a 'river' anyway.)

Both Leal and Galloway 6'5ish? Plus Garcia in sandals if that makes and difference lol.

This!

This!

Relationships sound like his most important thing. That’s fantastic!

Looks like he wants to hear from us.  Light him up!

Might as well let him pick his number while he's there, this one's a Hoosier. Feeling that this is a lock.

From his replies looks like he was already at Nicks. Ha, wonder what the kitchen is like when a recruit comes in? “Don’t f up the food or your @$$ is fired!!!”

You are correct. I am going senile in my old age. These 30’s are no joke.

This is a really good piece of video. Dainja is a top 50ish kid going to Baylor and he gives Garcia all he wants. Not just a highlight clip, shows some stuff that Garcia will need to work on, particularly lateral movement and core strength. But, man, is he a skilled kid. At 1:15 he takes a rebound and throws a full court outlet dead on the money with his off hand. Don’t see that every day. Shows range, handle, can pass off the dribble. Love him.

Could see him as a 3 TJD at the 4 and Brunk at the 5

I’m just imagining TJD at the 5 and Garcia at the 4, giving up a little defense physically but the offense potential of a BIG center trying to stay in front of TJD surrounded by 4 shooters would be awesome to watch 

[Jboser42 217]

I wonder if part of the recruiting pitch is to play some 3, or at the very least emphasize with TJD and Brunk already here, he won’t have to come in and be a 5 and have to guard 5s night in and night out like he may he asked to do at Marquette

That's the pitch against Memphis. Memphis is without question losing Wiseman at the end of this year, and have no idea who their center will be thereafter. 

We may lose TJD, but if Dawson arrives we will also with complete certainty have Joey and Race to bang around down low.

Is it wrong that I am disappointed we EVER have to have a strategy to recruit against Memphis?    I don't care who their coach is....Memphis is in a shitty conference (and I know there's decent basketball, but it's also Kelvin Sampson's conference; and the bottom is just awful), has no meaningful history, isn't a college town, is really doing not much more than playing up the NBA angle, and plays in an NBA building.   Completely different program than Indiana and a completely different experience.   Not sure why kids would have the same two schools on their lists.  I have about as much use for Memphis as I do for Kentucky.

Well lots of rumblings about Garcia to IU I even heard one. Person was in the know enough to cal Romeo but not before Chris did. So not sure how reliable. But could be a very important weekend for both programs.
