I’ve honestly been leaning toward him committing to Vandy for the last week or so, but I woke up this morning with this crazy gut feeling that we are getting him. So HoosierGuy I’m now 100% on the positivity bandwagon.

I’m going to believe it’s Vandy until I hear Darius say it’s IU. I wish I could be like this though lol

We'll save you a seat on the Believe train though. But you will be on the caboose

Chris007 hearing anything about Friday or Monday. 

My gut tells me we are going to suffer through the weekend.

Haha I’ll take it! I hope he does it either tonight or tomorrow for the sanity of the board

I’m thinking the same. The good news is we have 2 games this weekend to distract us from the madness

In recruiting, you win some and lose more, however I think we get Darius. If we don't, I will not be disappointed. That's just recruiting and you move on to the next recruit.

No nothing but if we do have to wait all weekend at least we should be 2-0 by then.

I agree. Everything I have been told since Hoosier Hysteria has been were getting both Romeo & Darius. The staff sold those two that weekend. Then he almost committed to us a day or two later. His dad has said he has known for a couple of weeks. Peegs guys keep getting calls to come down for interviews. Now his AAU coaches are telling people he is IU bound. His HS coaches have told people he is IU bound. We just need him to record a video saying "I'm Darius Garland and I'm a Hoosier" 

So is the information from his coaches to Peegs guys pretty reliable or just some poster over there

It a different poster just saying what he's heard like we all do. But he is close to the Brentwood staff and has had some tidbits all summer long about Garland.

Jonah Jordan made a Vandy pick for Garland this morning. He is 18 of 20 with average of 30 days correct. Sorry if posted haven't been following much this morning.

Mr. Garland said the announcement would be Friday, or Monday. They were either going to announce on ESPN, or Facebook Live. They could go with FB pretty much any time they choose, but working out a slot on ESPN is a different story. Perhaps they do it on ESPN3? My gut tells me he will announce tomorrow, unless they work out a slot with ESPN for Monday. 

 

If if he were picking Vandy, my gut tells me it would happen at the Pep Rally at his HS. Digesting all of the info over the past few weeks leads me to believe, without a doubt, IT'S INDIANA

[Yogi's Picnic Basket 5,004]

FWIW he does have Memphis connections. Seems everyone down there thinks it's Vandy tho so don't put to much into it.

I feel like it's important we stay cautious with the whole insider knowledge because as the Winston Garland has said, the only people who know of his commitment is family. So while AAU coaches may have a good idea, it's hard to say they know for sure.

I personally believe it is too close to call and most are just making a guess based off being the hometown team. And their insiders claim it has been a done deal so if they have been listening to those guys since he is in that area it makes sense. Message board optimism is different. Gun to my head though it is IU. I just hope he announces soon. This is giving me a headache.

What about you? I'm sticking with iu. Other than being in his home town I see no positives to going to vany.

I just believe from what I have been told, read and seen on here that he is ours. IMO IU kills the pros vs cons thing and it sounds like that meant a lot to them in regards to his decision. Of course what we see as pros may be a con to them. No way of telling. Just think Archie has done enough to pull it off. Let's hope so at least.
