(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

Recommended Posts

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