(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

[WayneFleekHoosier 48,413]

I've been worried about UK and Garland this whole time. I'll be happy if he gets through this visit and isn't fully WOWed.

Fingers crossed.

I honestly don't think it'll matter. UK has Quade Green this year who is doubtful to be a OAD and Quickley already for next year. 

Even if one of those guys goes, he'll have to compete with the other for playing time. I don't see him starting in either scenario. 

Thats why I think IU and Vandy are much more attractive options if he wants to be the guy.

What you are saying is completely logical. However, there have been several instances where Calipari has stacked talent at the same position. It's counter-intuitive and makes no sense, but we've seen multiple times in the last 8yrs or whatever that he's been there. I think there are certainly financial incentives, but even beyond that, the guy is a salesman, no question about it.

I knew Darius wasn't gonna like splitting the ball w Tre Jones and Reddish has been saying he wants to handle some so this makes complete sense. I didnt think he would cancel his visit and them altogether tho. Definitely good news. Garland is bigger than we are implying. Obviously any top 10 kid is huge, but I truly believe if we get Darius we definitely get Romeo. Only issue is the timing. UK scares me a little, but like it was mentioned, Green and Quickley being there next year helps ease the level of stress. Archie has done an amazing job in such a short period of time. No "experts" saw as being either the favorite or co favorite for either of these kids.

Simisola Shittu is taking an official to Vandy this weekend. Would be a pretty incredible get for Drew if he can pull it off and probably a pretty compelling draw for Garland. This visit needs to go poorly.

Official visits almost never go poorly.

They do change things though

Imagine Vandy getting Garland, Langford, and Shittu.

I can't even fathom how I'd feel about that.

I would say they never publicly go poorly.

Isaiah Whitehead OV to IU was bad. That's another shady recruit I wanted. Lol. Honestly we were mixed up with a lot of shade but didn't land any.

I seem to remember a recruit adding more schools to his list after visiting IU a few years ago. Can't remember who it was.

I'm totally blanking on the name but wasn't it the kid that ended up at Duke as a plan B

I would probably feel like Bryce is a lot more like Scott than he is like Homer, 'cause I wouldn't buy that being on the level for a minute.

You're thinking of Jordan Tucker who is a freshman at Duke. He added school's because of the uncertainty with FCTC.

He was clearly closely following BtownBanners and saw the writing on the wall that CTC was soon to become FCTC.

People including Syracuse fans thought he would commit to Syracuse.

We got the better end of that on both counts.
Creans gone and overrated Tucker's with the Rat.

The fact that Garland didn’t commit to Vandy after his visit makes me confident we will get him.
