The best part about this thread wasn't the emotions out of some posters. You see that in most recruitments.

This thread gave us a new term. "Fact based opinions". The ones who assured us Darius was a lock based upon fact based opinions and discredited anybody who said he was going to Vanderbilt as trolls....that was the goods. Thanks all lol.

It got weird. The reality is no one knew anything- that's about all I had on decent word. Then I come on here and posters have him locked to IU based on what they know. Frankly, some accounts got so detailed it was very obviously made up. Strange thing to do..

Now people are blaming a reporter for misleading them? Be mad at yourself for making assumptions about what this or that meant, and be mad at yourself for falling for fellow posters BS. 

Don't be mad at DG, a reporter doing his job, or AM.

Anderson is a good shooter? Serious question; I've never seen him play.

Yes indeed.

"The biggest thing that stands out about Anderson on the offensive end is his shooting ability. When he gets his feet set and shoulders square, he is an elite outside shooter with unlimited range because of his strength. Anderson flicks his wrist and has great rotation on the ball. When he is squared up, his shot is rarely off to the left or right."

He better be ready for big minutes because we're in desperate need of a knockdown shooter.

It's over. This is a big wake up call for where we are as a program.

It is? Rarely does IU land the big fosh. We go through this every year with 1 or 2 recruits and hardly ever get the prize. IU basketball just doesn't have the appeal it once did.

   Interesting. Darius Garland said UCLA, not Indiana, finished second.

We are probably gonna land less big fish, but will be a better team year to year than we have been in ages

Looks like the experts were fed a bunch of BS about IU being in a good position with Darius. What a kick in the balls.

Not a kick in the balls just recruiting

With that news part of me wonders how interested he really was in us, since his dad is a big IU fan. I could see his dad vouching for IU and Darius keeping us in the running in part because he knew it would make his dad happy, even if he wasn't all that interested. There's nothing wrong with that if so, and I'm sure there was interest from Darius (I don't think he led us on), but it's just something I thought about.

I think CAM had his point guard all along (RP) and was happy to wrap that up. Until, the Garland's decided to lead him along thinking IN could get him. I believe he was misled simply by Garland's mom crying during HH. CAM blew them all away and did everything in his power to sway them. Their minds were already made up before we entered the picture. CAM can use this as a learning experience as he has never recruited 5 stars in a head position. He will be much better just like our team this year.

This is representative of the lesson in recruiting. Nothing is "fact" until the kid himself says it is.

We weren't even a factor. Mom's tears at HH were not for him being sold on iu clearly. Well any so called insider in the future can basically get lost. Just like with Donovan it was all way off the mark.

He listed vandy and his buddy just verballed. I was sold on romeo to iu until today. Vandy is a very serious threat and i think the strong favorite at this point.

Maybe Romeo does go there, who knows?

On the other hand it seems that a very small percentage of recruits that seem(or say) to want to play together actually end up going to the same school.

Now that's a tough pill to swallow.

UCLA was second? Yikes. Just another reason recruiting is a crapshoot. Remember this when Romeo is about to announce.

And yet rabby kept driving to Nashville to do interviews. Bizarre.

I assume we won't be seeing you in the recruiting side of the forum then? Self imposed ban; limit yourself to game discussion only?
