(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

[IUrocker]

I’m from the Fort Wayne area. If a kid from one of our local schools announced at his school that he was going to Duke, people from their school aren’t gonna be like “uggh, you should have stayed home and went to IPFW!!”. They are gonna be excited, pumped, and proud that he was going to play basketball at a big school like Duke. (I’m not trying to compare Vanderbilt and IPFW as basketball destinations, only as local stay home schools). This is why I don’t think it matters that he is announcing at his school. I’d like to think that if he chose IU, people in his area are gonna think it’s a big deal and be excited for him because they know IU is a big deal.

What does that matter?

Vanderbilt has this incredible, I mean humongous, fan following that they can't even have good message boards like this because there is not enough internet space to handle it. And Brentwood has been a huge pipeline delivering blue chip basketball players annually plus all the Brentwood kids are season ticket holders to Vandy games.

Exactly. If Garland goes to IU, everyone in attendance will be excited for him. High schoolers don't think like message board fanatics.

The difference is that everyone knew Kris was going to UCLA.

Obvious like when Robert Johnson announced at his high school in Virginia?

The last Brentwood blue chip recruit was Brandan Wright and he chose North Carolina

And RJ was down to IU and UNC I believe.  VA wasn't being considered.

And the Crystal Ball was OVERWHELMINGLY favoring UNC. But the CB majority is always right..

Meyer picked him to Virginia 2 days before he announced.

The last three Crystal Ball picks for RoJo went to Virginia. Including Jerry Meyer and Andrew Slater.

Well it had the makings for a good story. I am sure the Internet message board thing is spot on though.

Hopefully Garland follows in Wright’s footsteps and chooses to go out of state

Id say we just ignore this guy. Hes clueless 

[MikeRoberts]

All you have to do is listen to Chris

Do you believe the coaches have been informed? As most believe, I don't think they have. So, while Chris and others can have a good feeling, nobody truly knows for sure

I certainly would put Rabjohns in that same boat, likely has a good feeling for what it will be but don't believe for a second the family has told him

Dbm has been a little abrasive, but he's just skeptical more than anything. I think we all have been these past few years. Let's move on fellas.
