If Garland and Langford happen... that would be beneficial in many ways.

1). That should be talent that is competing for the B1G and a national title

2). Helps to balance the roster with them leaving early

3). Indiana + area talent in first recruiting cycle

There's just so much to like about that even with what should be a huge roster turnover in 2018.

Green/Garland
Langford/Jones/Durham

That's a solid mix of experience and youth, high end talent with grit and grinders. They'd also have a few solid upperclassmen with Morgan and Davis on the wing and block. Smith would have a year in the program too.

Hope you're not implying he'll be sitting behind Green in the PG depth. The #9 overall wouldn't come here if that's the case.

Love Archie is reaching out here. Thought the chance was zero to land Garland under Crean.

I have high hopes for Green and think he could be an All B1G type player. I don't know what his development will look like nor do I know what Garland will look like. I could see Green, Garland, and Romeo all getting 25+ minutes in the backcourt. I do agree that Garland wouldn't be coming to IU to play second string PG.

I think Cujo would be one heck of a sixth man as well. Comes off the bench and lights it up.

Just watched some of his highlights for the first time. Reminds me a bit of Jeff Teague.

It may have been awhile since CAM was actively recruiting the absolute top level talent, but he's not showing any signs of rust.  Love what we're seeing thus far.  Hopefully we'll see the results in the '18 class.

@allaroundgame10: Appreciate head coach Archie Miller of Indiana University for stopping thru to watch @dariusgarland22 workout today.

I really get the feeling that Darius Garland wants to like IU.

 

Edit: found a Yahoo article with DG's dad telling how he's a complete, born and raised, message board quality...

IU basketball fan.

 

My fifth grader is getting about 25 ppg in rec league, and I know that if by some billion to one shot he was ever good enough, I'd hand deliver him to IU, and he be thrilled that I did. And let me assure you, if that ever happened, the BtownBanners mod board would be en fuego!

 

We WILL get an OV here. Got to.

Well must have been solid. Darius started following Archie after the visit.

Oh, and Archie is now following Darius too.

 

Edit: Wonder if this becomes a thing for top prospects to show he is going after the 5*.

Who was recruiting Garland from UCLA by any chance

I'm assuming it was Schilling and Alford because they are the only 2 mid west guys on the staff.

Thanks, this explains so much. Couldn't figure out why Garland would be such an early priority for CAM considering Phinisee fits exactly what he said he would be recruiting and there was no way he was recruiting Garland at Dayton. Didn't consider the possibility of a contact from the player's end. Could be a lot of fun to watch this one, though I really hope we stay on Phinisee.

Garland's father, Winston, grew up an IU fan as a Gary, Indiana native. So naturally, both him and Darius have followed the Hoosiers as the younger Garland has grown.

“I’ve been a Hoosier fan for a long time,” Winston told TheHoosier.com in February. “I’ve watched some real good teams.

"The teams with Isiah Thomas, Kent Benson, Scott May - guys like that. The ’76 team. My senior year in college when they had Steve Alford, I was in school and was the same age but I was still rooting for the Hoosiers.

"I loved Bob Knight. Just grew up a Hoosier fan.”

Have to think we at the very least end up in his top 3 or 5 whatever he makes.
