Per the chat on the other IU site with Rabs, he was able to text DG directly and was told by DG that he HAS NOT committed and doesn't know what anyone on twitter is talking about. Rabs also talked to the family and confirmed they had a sit-down starting on Friday to start vetting schools. Got out a big white poster and wrote pros & cons of each. 

 

Guys it's a white poster. Last time I checked white wasn't one of Vandy's school colors. He's ours.

Can't blame a guy for tryin'!

 

But man, get back to it. You've got important work ahead of you... Stranger Things 2 is good stuff.

I must be too old. I tried watching season 1. After about 5 shows, I quit watching it didn't appeal to me. Now Longmire is a different story.

The vandy commit just deleted the anchor down tweet. Is that good or bad? Lol. Man I’m so ready for this to be over.

Darius telling him take it down (too early) or take it down ( not true)

Honestly he's probably just messing with people knowing lots of fans would read too much into it.  Looking for his 15 seconds of fame I guess.

I’m pretty young and I only watched it for about 5 seconds before I turned it off. Lol Vikings is my show of choice at the moment.

I'm must be old. I'm watching Curb Your Enthusiasm. Lol. Classic comedy writing.

Actually Rabjohns was in Nashville tonight. He met with the family today and is writing an article tomorrow based on their sit down family meeting.

You have to feel better about IU's chances after reading the chat tonight. 

rabs in nashville? That’s bigger than anything I’ve read in a while. 2 visits in as many weeks...

The Vandy scout guy probably paid Darius's buddy to tweet that out and get the Darius to Vandy rumors swirling again. That way he can try to be like Lavar Ball and speak it into existence.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

Yeah Rabs was there. He shared that in the chat over there tonight I believe or as a tidbit. Guess they're the same thing. A lot came from it as well. Schilling and Flint are two definite pros that got thrown on the white board. Shared a few other things in some pms but nothing crazy. Still not a done deal, but personally I feel good about our chances.

Why do you feel it'll be IU in the end?

Anyone see his highlights from his scrimmage? That boy is nasty! Can’t wait for the decision.

It just occurred to me that some of these recruitments go on longer than the length of time the player attends his chosen school, Lol. 

Both RL and DG are outstanding prospects and I truly believe they will get more out of playing here than the other schools, but part of me would love to see Archie tell each of them "I sincerely hope you'll come and play for us at Indiana University.  You'll be a huge contributor to our success and we'll prepare you for your basketball career.  However, I have a group of 15 young men that have made that decision and going forward my full attention will be focused on working with them to develop our team.  I trust you'll make the right decision and again, joining us in Bloomington would be a mutually beneficial choice.  I look forward to hearing from you soon."

That would definitely get him fired over time.

Fooooo shoooooo lol. It is nice to get to a point where you just expect to get certain kids but you still have to sell them on you and your program. The family has to know they can trust you to take care of them as well. It'd be awesome if they could happen but it just won't. Archie and the staff know what to sell these kids on and what to avoid.

Given that the two recruits are surely talking to each other, it' be awfully swell to learn the Garlands threw Romeo Langford up on the board as a pro for Indiana, as well.

Likely true.  It's just part of the job of being a major college head coach.  I can see why guys like Stevens and Donovan really don't want to spend so much time stroking recruits (let's face it, to one extent or another they're all prima donnas).  But Archie knows the ropes, as does the staff.
