(2024) PF - Derik Queen to Maryland

Commitment date set for mid-January.

Mom goes to two Maryland games over break, DQ goes to one of them.

AAU coach attends a game at IU last night. Reneau shows out big time and is starting to look like a pro.

The next day the commitment date gets moved out to February. 

To me? Seems like he is looking for a reason to avoid Maryland, but wants to see a role for him at IU.

That seems like a fair tea leaf reading. Would add that Maryland has completely sold out on him since Willard got there. They’ve seen him a million times. That team is loaded with DMV kids and that is not nothing. DMV kids never stop talking about being DMV kids. Hell, Kevin Durant still talks about it. That would be a tough no for Queen.

Feels like he wants to get to “yes” with Maryland, but Willard, Maryland, and the lack of fan interest keep giving reason for “no.”

Looks like it's a February decision now.

If he is watching the Maryland and Minnesota game he would see why he should choose IU over Maryland

Idk, the longer this goes on, the more I get the vibe Houston or Kansas pull a surprise. Then again, I'm not Trilly Donovan!

If 2 of Ware, MM or Malik are back I thing a PG is a much bigger need. Sure it would be good to at a top 10 guy but I sure hope we add a strong PG and another shooter as well.

The fact that Trilly isn't even mentioning Kansas or Houston making in roads IMO says something.

Does X have another year left? Super-duper senior year?

I’ve actually grown tired of this ridiculous recruitment and stupid wishy washy game he and his family are playing.  I say let’s move on and go after a point guard and shooting guard.  We can pick up a big in the portal

He's not coming to IU. And yeah I am sick of this crap... the university and the fan base being punked by an 18 year old... no thanks...

Trilly also said we were landing Boogie

It is hard to understand how it can still be a 'toss-up'.

Games?

Queen and his family haven’t said jack. They never set a date. They haven’t given mixed signals. They haven’t given any signals!

If you read message boards? Yes, the discussion and speculation has gone on for a very long time.

That would be about the 5% of the time he was wrong.  Love or hate recruiting predictors, he is still the go to guy.

Not really.  He never put a gif prediction for Indiana.   His official prediction was Kentucky

This is very true.

Also, Boogie is slick. Wish we were getting him. But a big part of me wants to get a transfer portal guard who has proven they can do it.

Or move Gallo to the 1 and get an experienced 2.

Probably not. After the whole fland thing it's a safe bet not to get hopes up on this one.

What on earth does that have to do with this? The mopey stuff is so damn annoying.

So how’s the sunshine and rainbows shooting out of your arse working out for ya?

I’m just being a realist and recognizing when we’re getting played. But y’all go on and believe what you need to believe to get you through the night.
