(2018) PG Darius Garland to Vandy

Recommended Posts

Didn't expect five-star junior Darius Garland to be the volume shooter in his matchup with five-star Alabama signee Collin Sexton, but Garland had to shoulder a bigger offensive load. Sexton was more efficient in this one, though. Went 9-for-17 from the field, while Garland was 7-for-25.

Hawks Drop Brentwood Academy 56-52 In Hoops Thriller

In a short two-game series between Hamilton Heights and Brentwood Academy, one thing has become evident. It’s going to be a close game.

Playing before a packed house of hundreds of people at Brentwood Academy in Nashville on Wednesday night, including Kentucky coach John Calipari, the visiting Hawks rallied late and warded off the Eagles’ final push to post a 56-52 victory.

The Eagles’ Darius Garland, the No. 12-rated 2018 prospect in the country according to ESPN 60, hit a bucket to trim the Hawks’ lead to 54-52 with 18 seconds remaining. Brentwood missed three straight shots, but Garland drove the lane for his clutch layup.

Hamilton Heights’ C.J. Massengill missed the front end of a one-and-one with 10.4 seconds on the clock. Brentwood’s Cam Johnson received a pass from Tate Pierson and raced down court where he missed a left-handed layup.

Jordan Rawls made two free throws with under one second left to seal the victory for the Hawks (13-4).

Therren Shelton-Szmidt paced the Hawks with 22 points. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 14 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Kentucky signee Calipari was paying the closest attention to, tossed in 13 points.

Garland scored a game-high 26 points. Szmidt and Walker, both of whom defended the talented point guard during the game, both fouled out late. Szmidt has signed with Middle Tennessee State.

Evan Daniels piece on Garland.  http://www.scout.com/college/basketball/recruiting/story/1743448-2018-pg-darius-garland-wants-to-decide-soon?s=170

Who’s really prioritizing you? 
Everyone. DukeVandyTennesseeUCLAOhio State, everyone.

I guess we fall in the 'everyone' category.  Clearly not high enough on his list that our name immediately came to mind.  :-(         Hope we're making a really serious push on Robert Phinisee.

To be expected sadly
