(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

[cleeter]

Winston has said that Darius has known for weeks...do you think he told Shittu that he is going to go to Vandy and that made Shittu cancel his visit and basically commit to Vandy and the visit Darius wants with Archie is to thank him for everything but to tell him he is committing to Vandy? He seems like a class act kid and wouldn't want Drew or Archie finding out where he is going to play via twitter/video announcement. **This is all just my opinion and a guess**

I hope none of this is true, but i feel like we just took a giant step back

Just a friendly reminder, if IU is not the choice there wont be any name calling/cursing out a kid on here. This is everyone's warning on it so if it happens expect some kind of vacation from the site.

OK two of his closest friends on the basketball team are going to Vandy to play football

1) If Darius knew for weeks and Shittu decision was going to be changed due to Darius's decision, then why schedule the UNC visit to begin with?

2) Why have Archie fly out just to tell him no?

You suck!!!! But are correct these are 18-year-old kids who are doing what's best for them not us.

Good lord - just this morning we said it was IU because he made his mind up 2 weeks ago.  Let's let this kid make his own decision.  IU is not out of this race.

Agree 100%. 

[Hoosier Guy]

That bit of news even discourages me to an extent. But I’ll still say IU

[mjtavier]

Well lets take Romeo and call it a class. We are still in good shape with RP and all the guys we are developing this year. Can't get them all. On to the next one!

[The Ola Depot]

I know I see people saying that the “known for weeks” comment sounds pro IU but when I put that with the tweet from that one guy with the emojis and now especially the football player (may be the same guy, I don’t know) it just doesn’t bode well for me. Hopefully he’s just looking for attention.

He hasn't committed anywhere yet.

Also, I'm sure DG kept his mouth shut for years, then went to a high school football player and said "I have a huge secret for you".  So ridiculous.  Just kids looking for attention, and by kids, I don't mean DG.  It's the coat tail people who are looking for attention through this situation.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Mehh. We've got a solid recruiting class already and still are in the running for Romeo. If he wants to stay home and play at Vandy then oh well. 

[cthomas]

This is another reason not to get too invested I the recruiting side of college basketball. I want kids to be successful no matter where they go or what they decide. While it can be a fun diversion at times, we create most of our own drama. We are embarking on an exciting new era for Indiana basketball and the decisions of high school kids aren't going to change that. I'm going to sit back and enjoy the process.

[Me So Hornsby]

The Vandy 247 guy is a clown, everyone is still saying it is 50-50(or51-49) we still have a more talented class and team than Vandy, Romeo is better than Shittu, and the Garlands have said no committment has been made.

I haven’t been confident in us getting him and I’ll be shocked if it’s not vandy now, just hoping they don’t convince Romeo to join them.

Perhaps there is reason why Archie didn't visit last week, i.e. maybe he was informed that we were out or got enough indications to draw his own conclusion.  IDK, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Like some, I don't really see what the draw to Vandy is and what Drew maybe "selling", but let's face it - if we were to sign both DG and RL there would be others wondering what we're "paying" to get recruits all of a sudden.  I'm not jumping into those baseless suggestions.

Doubtful, IU is a blue blood, vandy is just vandy.

What is Drew selling? Because whatever it is, it can’t be real. Something just doesn’t feel right with the way he is recruiting. 

Lol... come on now. Don't stoop to this level. Drew is a good coach with a story similar to Archies. 

[8bucks]

I don't think Shittu goes to Vandy without DG. So far Shittu has only cancelled a UNC trip. If anything more solid comes about regarding Shittu to Vandy then I am assuming DG is headed there as well.

Seems to be a lot of momentum right now towards Vandy.

We used the "you can become a state legend" pitch to Romeo and hopefully it works but since DG will hear that pitch being used by us for Romeo it might have some draw for him at Vandy too. He can become THE legend there.
