Darius has made a decision. This we know. If he is going to Vandy why is he liking a post on the Indiana men's basketball Instagram account?

Or following a smoke show that goes to IU?

Idk if you can get too much from Instagram tbh lol. But it’s something to go crazy over

Every recruit is different but there is just too much circumstantial signs pointing to IU.

Rabjohns being a key media person communicating with the family, often

Mrs. Garland's teary eyed walk across Branch McCraken Court during HH

Pros and Cons seem to weigh heavy in IU's favor (better staff, bball school, homestate school for dad, IU school of journalism, crazed fan base, etc.)

Likes on instagram

He could go to Vandy. It's his hometown school. However, could it be that he wants to keep people guessing right up until his announcement? It seemed like after HH it was just a matter of time before he would commit to the Hoosiers. Maybe he wanted a little excitement around his commitment and had a few friends post things on social media.

The Garland's appear to be a solid family. Darius seems like a good kid and I'll wish him the best wherever he plays college ball.

You think Darius would pick another school right before IU has a big game? That would be a seriously low blow on his part. If he was going to Vandy he could commit to them tomorrow and then go to their game.

My first thought it was good for iu. He’s gonna throw it in Archie’s face like that?

If he announced during a vandy game? The spin would be the same on this forum lol

Reverse psychology and it is so easy to like on Instagram. He really doesn't care when IU season is about to start or the post on Instagram saying so by Freddie. This is all a figment of our imagination. Moving on and commence the manic levels of fandom.

Alright, I did some digging. I compared the amount of IU players that Darius is following on instagram vs the amount of VU players he is following. It was an even amount, both at 2 players. A big difference however, Darius is following Indiana Men's Basketball's Instagram account, and he is not following the Vanderbilt Athletics account. This is really only significant to anyone who buys into the social media aspect of recruiting, and coming from a college student, social media is prominent around me and I am sure it's no different for Darius. However, Darius did not like the video posted today by the IUMBB instagram.

Something to think about is when he’s going to notify the coaching staffs. Can you imagine calling Archie an hour before a big game, “Hey Coach, I know you have tip-off of a big game in an hour, but wanted to call and say thanks, but no thanks. Good luck tonight!”

This doesn’t seem like the type of recruitment where they give notification too much beforehand, as they haven’t seemed to want things getting out.
