Archie needs to get down there then.

Only knock whatsoever I have on him right now. He needs to make a trip. If it is between us and Vandy he needs to do just as much if not more than them to make a difference. They have made 2 trips in a week.

Archie isn't gonna roll over and play dead.  He will show his face again before all is said and done.

Hopefully Darius and his family had their hearts set on IU, Bryce Drew slipping in to talk to them after they discussed things kinda gives the family a “we know what you’re trying to do here” feel, and they are smart enough to not let anything he does or says affect their decision.

Archie is an alpha dog. There will be a “fight”. I have confidence.

Regardless of how this ends, Bryce Drew is very smart. Family wanted to talk today and yesterday and Bryce decides to slip in the day after. Smooth move. 

Advantage of being the home team. I would of done the same thing. Drew has pleasantly surprised me since he has been hired

I was kind of thinking the same thing. I expect him to get down there again.

That makes sense and I get that but we all know its close now. Family could also take it as a good thing Vandy isnt just assuming he has made a decision. I believe Archie makes his way down there but w no sure day it is weird. Archie may know something we dont but anything can happen I still make the trip regardless.

I hope we land Darius if only to shut you up.

Would be the cherry on top.

True. The family probably knows it is 10x easier for Drew than Archie. Drew has done an awesome job. Props to him.

This is what would be tough for me and I’m sure there is a fine line between overstepping and looking desperate as opposed to giving recruits and family space to make a decision. If he thinks there is a chance he is slipping behind and this could end this week then I agree he needs to make the trip down but if he knows this is going to November 14th and he visited last week he could play the I just wanted to give you a week to think on things and not smother youbut we are here now to let you know you are still a priority. He definitely needs to use all of his allowed visits before this recruitment ends

I feel like he probably knows what he’s doing.

Just send him an 8×10 of his and his families faces as they walked onto our court.  With a lil note saying...."Cut the ****, just commit!"  Worth a shot.

Right, has to be the hardest part of recruiting. Getting kids to like your school is the easy part. Getting them to fall in love with you and the school is the hard part obviously and part of that is like you said, knowing when and when not to press certain buttons. I'm impatient so I know I couldn't do it lol. As you said if he feels he needs to visit I believe he will. It does suck seeing them visit so much and nothing from us but just like when Romeo gets close we will see him more than the other schools just cause its closer regardless of what the situation is.

Slater switched from Duke to Vandy not from IU to Vandy.

CAM didn't get where he is in this recruitment because he has no clue. I doubt that he underestimates anyone or anything in this tug of war. The fact that he is not panicking by any of this is a good  sign. Patience is the word folks.

There is still a limit that each school has on visits and open gyms per recruit i remember hearing. I just don’t remember the number.

People asking Jerry if he is going to switch his pick. Hasn't replied but did say the pick was 'significant' to Vandy since it is Slater. Pretty clear Jerry doesn't know.

Nashville to NA is about the same distance as NA to BTown.,
