(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

[JHoosier914]

I'm sure I just missed it, but HOW is he announcing?  going to be streamed on facebook live?  an ESPN affiliate?

And he shouldn’t. Let the kid have his moment

If he choose IU and its reported by anyone other than Darius I will be disappointed. This is a life changing moment. Let the kid have it.

Announcement at his High School. Not quite sure where fans can watch it however.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering.  Don't have facebook, so I would love for it to be live streamed on ESPNU or something

Regardless of what happens, if Archie has us as final contenders for TWO top 15 players in 6 short months of recruiting... we're in for a treat next year and for many years to come.

Would creating a Facebook page just to watch his announcement and then delete it after be like creeper status or a good fan move.

As my friends "Impractical Jokers" once said...it's only creepy if you get caught...

It is all good Hoosier Nation. Step away from the ledge. We are in the final 2 for a 5-star point guard in the first year after a coaching change. We already have capable contingencies in case he does not come in Devonte and Phinisee. Unlike past recruitments this is not make or break. However--I still think Darius picks IU. I believe he will decide like many college kids he needs to blaze his own trail and not just worry about what his friends and the locals want him to do. I have been on Vandy's campus--it is nice but it is no IU. Vandy's BBall program is solid but it is no IU. Vandy's academics are stronger in most areas but IU's are close behind or even ahead in some areas. He has family connections to both campuses and BTown is within comfortable driving distance from home. He will weigh the pros and cons of both on his white board--and make his decision. In my opinion it will be IU--or he will always end up wondering what might have been. I don't see this as a dirty recruitment where other factors are at play like $ , cars, or promised jobs. All things being equal and on the up and up--imo Darius will don the candy stripes. If he doesn't --he is going to a fine hometown school and I won't hold any grudges. The best news of all is we won't have to wait much longer to find out his choice! I just hope he pays close attention to all the red and white Christmas decorations out in all the stores--especially those large red and white striped candy canes--It's a sign DG!

I'm sure we'll have some IU people there.

,Rob and Al we're OK.

Peegs said there is a lack of chatter about one school being confident. I presume that school is Vanderbilt as they had been exuding confidence lately.

Calling around asking "Does he like us" couldn't possibly be the reason for the chatter. 

Lol

For those of you saying that the day he announces is irrelevant, I say you're wrong.  I've cracked the code...

Wow, commodorEs! Darius garlaNd Enrolls Same Day At vandY (WEDNESDAY) vs Make rOom iNdiana, Darius Announcing, mondaY (MONDAY)

True but I'd be pretty disappointed if we didn't get at least one of the two.

I think most people would be disappointed for a small amount of time, but would get past it once we realize (again) we are in tremendous hands.

I mean, I'll be disappointed if we miss on either because I believe we really have a chance to land them both! But I won't hold it against Archie.

I thought vandy insiders with gleaming with confidence.

Yeah it would just help speed up the process to contend by landing one or two top players right away. I'm not looking for a consolation prize. I want them both.

I think rabs knows but is not spilling the beans yet.

Rabs spilled the beans early once before and took a lot of heat so if he knows I am sure he has leaned
