(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

[HoosierAloha 30,068]

I like our chances.. Vandy will make another push but IU is neck and neck with Vandy.

More good news. Darius plans to decide soon. Like anyday now soon, but expect it to be at least a week. Will give coaches one last go round first I have heard. Said Hoosier Hysteria was "off the chain". Let's gooooooo

So yea I feel real good about that photo shoot of RL and DG not being the last time we see them in IU jerseys together. News of Darius committing soon bodes really well for us I think.

UCLA visit is still on at the moment as well. Could change, but don't expect it too.

I wouldn't blame him. I wouldn't pass up a free trip to LA either. It's still Vandy and us regardless of whether he makes the UCLA visit or not. I think it's clear that Winston Garland is 100% on board with Darius being a Hoosier. Hopefully this visit convinced Darius.

 I kind of wonder if Darius is pulling a Kris Wilkes. Idk. Just a thought

Is IU=UCLA and Vanderbilt=Crean's IU in this thought?

Do you think it's good for us this time, as in he wants to let down his "state school" Vanderbilt gently before commiting elsewhere (hopefully here)?

Edit: nevermind, just saw your answer above

How confident should I be here? A backcourt of Garland and Langford would be absurd.

Doesn't he visit UCLA this weekend?  Are you saying he could possibly decide before the visit and just not go public with it?

Have always loved DG. Kid is awesome. I don't know how RP fits in if we get DG. I don't think he is 1ndone. Maybe 2ndone. His physical attributes don't put him there.

His ballhandling is NBA caliber.

The good news is if he is 1ndone we/he had an excellent year. Those are the kind of 1ndones I like.

I don't want to get my hopes too high. But........

Play them both together at times with Garland at the 2 has been mentioned as a selling point according to some. Never a bad thing to have 2 players that can run the show.

At the very least, our sitting on pins and needles for Garland won't last much longer.  Want to hope that if we get his commitment in the very near future that will be the tipping point for Langford and he won't wait until spring to give us his commitment.

Mom had tears in her eyes? How can you not be optimistic after that!

[Old Friend 8,389]

There are reasons to be optimistic about both Garland and Langford; but there are never any guarantees.  They'll have other great experiences.  I haven't heard where either of these kids are relative to the school itself.  Anyone know?  Indiana has always put on a great show for Hoosier Hysteria.  Wonder how much that weighs into the actual decision?  If more than "some," you have to like our chances.
