HoosierHoops1 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Everyone freaking out now about Crystal balls is the same reason small-minded sports guys have changed their Crystal balls. Highly influenced and have no real knowledge or confidence. HoosierAloha, Iugradman, Dalton26 and 3 others 6 Quote
AKHoosier Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 So are these crystal ball guys switching their picks to Vandy from IU? Or were they on other schools and just picked Vandy? Quote

HoosierHoops1 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The creation of the "Crystal Ball" is genius. The following of the Crystal Ball is ignorance. Iugradman 1 Quote
Me So Hornsby Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 The creation of the "Crystal Ball" is genious. The following of the Crystal Ball is ignorance. It’s fun to follow and it’s easy to make it fit a narrative. It should never be the end all be all for assuming a decision. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app IUsafety 1 Quote
WayneFleekHoosier Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Has Darius committed to Vanderbilt yet?Maybe, maybe not. Just putting a 'what if' scenario out there if the CB swoon has merit. My gut says it does, but until Meyer flips I'll hold a little piece of the dream. Like I've said before the Phinisee commitment never made sense to me (if we were going to get Garland). When rumors swirled that we were leaders I was as shocked as anyone. It makes more sense to me that we wouldn't get Garland so I've always kinda expected it. I'll be happy to be surprised but if not, DGreen gives me hope for the immediate future. Moreso than Phinisee. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
AKHoosier Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 lol so the three guys who switched their pick to Vandy are Andrew Slater, Brian Flinn, and Eric Hampford. Andrew Slater: 495/653 - 75% Brian Flinn: 182/304 - 59% Eric Hampford: 50/92 - 54% I'm not getting worked up yet. That said if Jerry Meyer changes his pick from IU then I'll start to get worried.

Phinisee will still be a backup anyway. And we won't have to worry about the oversign. Romeo Langford gets full court press for Starting 2 spot. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners This is kind of where I'm at right now too. Not because I'm pessimistic about Garland, but because I have hope in Green becoming a really solid PG by his Junior year. WayneFleekHoosier 1 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 If he goes to Vandy it probably won't be for basketball reasons, it'll be because he wants to be close to his family. In that case there's nothing we can really do. lillurk, woodenshoemanHoosierfan, Stromboli and 1 other 4 Quote
MikeRoberts Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 True. The family probably knows it is 10x easier for Drew than Archie. Drew has done an awesome job. Props to him.That's not good... that means it will be 10x harder for the family to see Darius play at IU vs vandy Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Can't go home to mommy every night when you are in the big boy league. I've been largely absent to this thread...but that has to be one of the more ignorant takes I've seen here. Maybe his two friends who he plays bball with who are going to Vandy for FB mean something to him? Maybe he realizes he'll be on NBA road trips the rest of his life? Maybe his current family and social life is important to him and he realizes it'll be strained sooner rather than later? Come on, man. Jeff_Boy_Ardee, Fulkme15, Nick_Bragg13 and 27 others 30 Quote

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 I've seen my brother three times in the last 3 1/2 years while he is serving his country in the armed forces.

I have 2 sons. One wanted to stay close to home and drive to ROY. The other couldn't wait to get away. Not every thinks the same.I know people that wanted to serve one AD, but wanted to still be close to home They joined the Guard Some wanted to go Active to get away for awhile.

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted November 2, 2017 Posted November 2, 2017 Navy. My father was a Marine. Both grandfathers served in the Army.I won't hold that against him. Lol. Thank him for his service and glad he is part of the brotherhood. My dad couldn't serve, but lots of Marines and Army in the family including my son and myself.Sent from my SM-G930V using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha, Iugradman and IUBBFan1970 3 Quote
