Yes, although I'd imagine he's going to start almost anywhere he goes

Garland could probably start from day 1 but Green will have something to say about it. CuJo, Green, Garland, and Romeo would be a heck of a backcourt.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,807]

I wish I could imagine we could get Langford but with the recruiting landscape what it is we don't attract that level of player. It would be a miracle. I won't allow my hopes to get up because I think we have a snowballs chance.

Crean has a knack of identifying under the radar talent but top 5 players at IU is hard to imagine because there is NO precedent sans Eric Gordon.

Garland could be a different story, and I imagine the staff will continue after him hard.

He'll be on campus again today (10/20). Think he's visiting Louisville to.

@JWellsTH: 2018 five-star point guard Darius Garland will be in Bloomington tomorrow (Thurs.) to visit #iubb's practice. 

[Crimson and Cream 5,706]

Perfect! Surely this kid becomes top pg priority for 2018 now right? Or what about that kid Quickley?

He should stick around for Hoosier Hysteria!

He is. Kabongo and Phinisee are the only other PG offers out right now in this class.

Looks like we are in on a couple really good PGs in 2018 at least for now.

I really like Phinisee but he's in PUkes back yard.

Who's Kabongo? I don't recall that name.

Jon. Myk's (played at Texas a few years back) brother.

He has a thread in here somewhere but without a search feature it's annoying to find lol.

All the big players are in the hunt as you would expect.

Brentwood Academy (TN) 2018 five-star Darius Garland (@dariusgarland22) will unofficially visit Duke this weekend,

The list will only get longer.

Darius Garland ‏@dariusgarland22

Blessed to receive an offer from Duke University

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,082]

Why is this just not a surprise?

From 247:

Duke is trending in the Crystal Ball for 2018 top 10 prospect Darius Garland, who was offered by Mike Krzyzewski while on his visit this past weekend.Hometown Vanderbilt now only has 22 percent of the predictions to 78 percent for Duke. 

A 6-0, 155-pound point guard out of Brentwood (Tenn.) Academy, Garland is known for being one of the top outside shooters in the class and for having a high overall skill level. Still very much developing physically and with a father who played in the NBA, Garland has plenty of upside as well. Currently he is ranked No. 9 in the 247Sports Composite.

Along with Vanderbilt, Indiana, Louisville, Tennessee, Virginia and others have invested time in recruiting Garland. The consensus of thought, however, is that Duke is the offer that Garland has coveted.

Let's cut our losses and talk to some high 4 stars now.

I'm not kidding the ROI is too low for 5 stars
