Bailey7878 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Most of the posters on every board seem to agree on one thing. The Hometown appeal is the one thing Vandy has going for them. There might be another huge attraction for Vandy. I haven't seen it posted, or for that matter even discussed. Bryce Drew and Winston Garland both had careers in the NBA. WG played for several years. They were in the league together for I believe 5 years. They were both Point Guards as well. I don't know if they knew each other back in the early 90's or not, but one thing is for sure. They had plenty to talk about and reminisce during their conversations in the recruitment of DG. Does anyone think the NBA experience of CBD is playing into the decision? Thoughts?Hometown appeal is vastly overrated. Especially for a one and done. How often will vandy be on national tv? Probably once when they play kentucky. When I think of vandy as a bball school I just laugh. I'm sticking with iu.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Calling vandy a bball school is laughable. The only thing they can offer is it's close to home. That's it.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Iugradman 1 Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 I sure hope it’s tomorrow. I’m telling ya. This will speed up the process for Romeo. They’re a package deal. No way Garland commits to IU if he knows Romeo isn’t going there Quote

A superstar from a basketball crazed state like Indiana is not going to vandy of all places. No way.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

I think we do too but he's waiting until spring and I'm just not convinced this season will be very good. We have a brutal schedule and a lot of holes on offense. That's what worries me. If I knew we were going to make the tourney I'd like our chances. Quote

Bailey7878 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 IU is the leader for Romeo. Being a star in Indiana means so much more than being one in Tennessee. Possibly the biggest star in Indiana since Damon Bailey is not going to vandy. He will go to UNC if for some reason he does not pick iu.Sent from my SM-J700T using Tapatalk Quote

southsidehoosier Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 According to Rabs the Vanderbilt coaching staff is calling around trying to get information on Darius again today. Maybe they don't know much either. Walking Boot of Doom, lillurk, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 4 Quote
