Yes I think they're out but I did leave a 2% chance for something crazy to happen. They might not know it yet but I think they have a pretty good idea about it.

I think I have thrown the conspiracy out before.. but there is collusion between Nike the FBI and the NCAA. Arizona was the "oh a big time NIKE school is involved" but that was to help Oregon basketball.

More speculation Crean could have sparked the FBI investigation by taking everything he knew about the shady recruiting dealings involving Adidas schools and just one Nike school after he got fired.  I am not saying this is what happened, just throwing out the possibility in brainstorm/focus group fashion where there is no wrong answer. 

The only Nike school named in the investigation just so happens to be coached by the brother of the man who took Crean's job. 

More vindication.

O this is 2 much fun!

[Brass Cannon 24,913]

Can just imagine Crean on the phone. 

"I just need to hear you say I only lost you because they gave you 100,000 dollars."

"Coach Crean it was 150000"

Tom smiles and clicks the tape recorder off 

"Thanks son I feel much better now"

Chris you the man. IU is about to take off with Archie

You had it first. Might have been a guess or wishful thinking but you had it first.

So basically it boils down to:

1.  Be a part of a really good freshman class (I still don't know who the 4th "fantastic" player would be).

2. Play for a coach that played in the NBA for a short time.

3. Play in one of the top 5 or 6 conferences in CBB

All are positives for VU, but nothing that could outweigh what IU or KU offer.  Honestly, the only real appeal I've ever seen for Romeo to play at VU is to play with two other burger boys (albeit on an otherwise lackluster team).

That is so funny given they the vandy guys were talking even a few weeks ago how they were going to get Romeo and Montgomery and be a final four team. I love it! Garland and Drew are going to need therapy after this.

All Archie needed to be a big time success were the resources and prestige IU can provide him that a school like Dayton could not. He’s young enough to be able to build quite the dynasty for the next 25-30 years. Obviously it’s great to know we can now get 5 stars at a steady pace, but to be able to COACH them, too?? Heaven

I find the "join the greatest class in Vandy history" thing as a reason to go there pretty hilarious. That's like saying "be the best restaurant on the street" when the only other restaurants are a McDonald's, Burger King, and a gas station hot dog.

Yeah... definitely a "tallest midget" type of pitch. I'm sure Drew has a better selling point than that but the fan board is embarrassing.

When Romeo commits to IU....garland decommits and somehow gets out of his LOI....commits to IU!!!!!

 

As the little kid in Angels in the Outfield said..."hey, it could happen."

 

 

 

....just kidding.

[Blackmon_for_3 1,535]

I would honestly rather have Phinisee

[Bowhunter 2,719]

I wouldn’t want Garland after he punked  us

[TheWatShot 14,283]

I kind of want Garland to be left standing at the altar and realize what a mistake he made next season when Vandy doesn't live up to their preseason expectations and the "Hometown Hero" honeymoon is over.

Yeah, we have our point guard in Phinisee. Garland can stay in Nashville with his buddy Drewfus.

man, it was a joke...

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,265]

Oh, oh.  We might have a new competitor for Romeo... I've been perusing several non-IU boards and see that a notorious (and often ridiculous) poster on the Illinois board is suggesting that they might be able to get involved now that Kansas is out of it.
 

What Illini board?
