There's not really any momentum swinging anywhere right now... It's been so quiet that no one knows what's happening. The fact that we aren't hearing MU taking a large lead is a great sign. I actually think IU put themselves in the best position possible. At the end of the day, you sit down and say it's Indiana vs. Marquette, pro's and con's, it seems like IU wins out. I remember him saying Bloomington feels like home, and I think that is why he will be a Hoosier. If he ends up being a Golden Eagle then so be it, Archie put us in the position to get him and the ball didn't bounce our way, things are trending  up, we will all be okay.

Optimist:  "I've heard nothing and that means good things for IU.  Garcia to IU."

Pessimist:  "I've heard nothing and that means bad things for Marquette.  Garcia to Marquette."

Paranoid:  "I've heard nothing probably because everyone is keeping things from me.  Garcia doesn't really exist."

Me:  "Whatever happened to Austin Van Zyl?"

My official uninformed prediction at this point is Marquette. Just because our front court depth is to strong. Just a guess

Brunk, Smith, Thompson, TJD

He would still get plenty of minutes as a freshman and then be able to play a key role as a sophomore on. This is another recruitment that I look at to the overall health of the program. If we land Garcia it signals we’re able to recruit quality depth while having more experienced talent ahead of him. We haven’t been able to do that in the recent past.

TJD, Brunk, Thompson
Smith, Thompson, Garcia
Hunter, Smith, Geronimo

That’s quite a bit of versatile talent, versatility, and experience in the front court.

I work with a Marquette grad who said Garcia's announcement is tomorrow. Has anybody heard this? ... I was thinking I saw somewhere in this massive thread that he would announce the 20th (a week from today). 

I was listening to a couple D.C. radio guys the day of Game 7 of the World Series. One said he was predicting the Nationals would win, but wouldn't be surprised if the Astros pulled it out. 

So in that vein, here's my prediction on Garcia: I think he signs with IU, but could very well pick Marquette. 

There you have it!

Garcia doesn't really exist, haha....made

me think Ivan Renko!

At the rate Wojo is going, even if Garcia commits to Marquette in the 20th, when Wojo gets fired we may end up with him anyway.

Purdoo helping with a Keion Brooks “don’t want to commit to a coach that might fail” scenario?

That’d be nice.

I would say we, as a fanbase are really gun shy about believing in big time non Indiana recruits selecting us.  It creates a negative mindset (which is 100% understandable), and leads to posts like Fkfootball's.

Oh Purdoo 

Went to bed and Purdue was rolling up 18 in the first half...wake up and they lose by 10! Don’t know why I’m ever surprised by Purdoo...they hate us so much that they intentionally collapsed 2nd half out of fear of possibly helping IU in a recruitment lol.

So is Sam Story all that reliable?  I see his name periodically mentioned on btb and I'm a lurker on another board that seems to think he walks on water when it comes to IU recruiting.  He tweeted this an hour ago.

Sam Story @Samueltstory

#IUBB - UNA film review done today. - Garcia gang to finally sit & talk to figure some stuff out on weekend.  DG is NOT going to MINNY or MEM.  Well sourced. - IU rotation = better athletes + more options vs. last year - Way more identity + belief. -  My summer predictions = IU

He’s incredibly unreliable, getting far more absolutely wrong than right (in 3+ years I haven’t seen him get anything right but someone who pays more attention might beg to differ). Both him and the other HSN “insider” make bold yet vague comments and usually back out of them. Sam also has a history of deleting his posts so people can’t quote him when he’s dead wrong. 

Personally I find them, and their mob following, incredibly annoying and is most of the reason I don’t post over there anymore. You’ll never learn anything from them that isn’t printed in an interview or quoted from Rabjohns and the rest of their “intel” almost always proves false and/or irrelevant.

Let me cheer you up by reminding you that Dawson Garcia is a lock and will commit to the Marching Archies on November 20th. 

[GloryDays 5,913]

Hopefully he and his parents are watching and realise what's being built here and are smart enough to know that without a complete gift from Purdue Marquette loses last night's game badly.

 WoJo's coaching was nonexistent at worse and atrocious at best. 

 Where does the scoring come from next season without Howard?

 Just don't see it if the kid wants to play for a competitive team.

I like the way you think!

[LamarCheeks 17,870]

I hope someone tells him that if he enjoyed beating the PUs last night, he can have a couple more cracks at them each year he's in Bloomington. 

Fun times.
