(2020) PF/C - Dawson Garcia to Minnesota

[AKHoosier]

Ugh it would probably be good for everyone not named Marquette if he didn't decide during the early signing period, but man I hope it doesn't go past that.  It would kinda be deflating if we went from looking out for a possible commitment during his OV a few weeks ago to not signing until the spring.

I have the feeling he and his family want the decision made so he can just enjoy his senior year in high school without having to deal with the recruiting noise all season long.

It honestly says nothing. Just recaps basic news and answers questions with questions.

No offense though, thanks for sharing.

Sam Non-Story is the Twitter King of saying nothing, recapping news that everyone already knows, and answering questions with questions. If he's an insider, then I'm the ghost of Branch McCracken :)

Never listen to Brian Snow. I have always believed he is a closet IU hater. He’s told me firsthand that “this isn’t the 1980s”. There are “many good programs out there.” “Nebraska has better basketball facilities than Indiana.”

 

 

 

He’s a punk. I wouldn’t doubt that he’s down talked us to recruits. He’s a OSU blowhard.

He does a fantastic Indiana basketball report pretty much every week. He is the most plugged in national guy to Indiana program. He isn’t the only that thinks Nebraska has better basketball facilities, plenty of other national people think they do as well. I just see him telling how it is no matter the school. I’ve seen him piss off buckeye, Xavier, Indiana, and Purdue fans all the same. I enjoy his write ups

Yeah, we would never talk to a guest like that. Another board member? Maybe. But never a guest.

Re: Snow

I get the sense he is certainly tuned in. Especially in Indiana and Ohio.

I also get the sense he despises IUBB, and it’s fans, and it’s coaches, and everything it has to do with.

That’s kind of where I’m at. I think he wants a passive fanbase. Not one that thinks for itself and shares information amongst itself. Nobody how hard he tries it’s hard for him to tell us something that hasn’t been going around social media.

Snow is a realist. He doesn’t see through crimson colored glasses. IU was a dinosaur until recently and still has a ways to go. Archie had to drag the program into the 21st century.

Mostly this.

I’m with gradman on this one.

 

[Uspshoosier]

He tried to convince me that Nebraska had more potential than us in basketball. Lol.


I don’t see how anyone could think this guy is cheering for us?

He is a national basketball recruiting analyst. Why would he be cheering for IU?

Did you fall out of your chair when you agreed with him?

He lives. 
 

So Chris007 do you think anybody actually knows where this kid is going?

Dude, when I see your name pop in a recruiting thread, I think “THERE IT IS” and rip it open. Imagine my disappointment at finding conventional snark.
you have, indeed, set a high bar.

No I don't think Garcia knows yet. I think it's between IU and MU. I do think he enjoyed our visit more but the distance to MU is more appealing probably. So we'll see. I still like our chances

Sorry. I'm probably better at being snarky than predicting an 18-year-olds future.

That’s always been my concern. Yeah 5 hours isn’t a short drive but definitely close enough his parents can drive for the weekend games

I think it's quite obvious to say that no one knows where Dawson will go, anyone claiming they know, is likely lying. If this goes past the early signing period, I'd feel way worse about this whole recruitment. Gives more time for Minnesota and Memphis to develop relationships, and if I'm being honest, Minnesota would have a really, really good shot there. Here's how I see it,.

Decides in the next couple days= Good for Marquette

Decides around the 20th= Good for IU

Doesn't decide soon= Good for everyone else

[Stromboli]

Man, I’m bullish on this one. I think it’s been IU for some time. 
 

I have no sources beyond my own bias. Which is significant, lol. 
 

I think he likes our program the best. I think there’s enough connection (Ostrom, Race, Leal and Galloway) to make it easy. I think the absence of another 4/5 in the recruiting class helps, as does the presence of older guys to handle the 5 his freshman year. None of these programs are doing that great right now, so I don’t think he’s concerned with that. And that interview by Brent Tipton just felt very pro-IU. He really didn’t seem interested in talking about the other schools. But for IU he did, listing coaches and players by name and saying it felt like home. Reports are that his parents were engaged and enjoyed themselves. 
 

Of course he may choose Marquette. He and his family have been great through the whole process and so I’m sure we’ll wish him well. 
 

...be a lot cooler if he came here though. Let’s stack talent all over the roster. I can’t wait for us to maintain a top 10 rank through a season.

On the flip side, all those road games in the B1G are a lot closer than many of the schools in the Big East not to mention one or two in their backyard.
