I have been trying to remove speculation and ridiculous "voters" who are clearly not in the know.  There are three people in the know. DG, mom, and dad.  That's it, and there really aren't many hints as to where he's going. We know Dad loves the thought of IU, mom teared up at HH and DG verbalized how great it was while taking his pic with RL. He's announcing in his home gym, which is what most recruits do. So what...it's near Vandy.  It could just as easily be near Indiana, Tennessee or any other school.  He also said he has known, coincidentally, roughly since HH...which he loved.  Also, albeit minor, he does continue to "like" IU stuff on Instagram. Since he lives near Vandy and they have visited him regularly, people think IU is out/has lost ground?  Vandy has been on him for years, not just the last 2 weeks. However, DGs attention from CAM is nothing short of daily (here I am speculating!). I don't really care what Shittu is doing, and I assume mom and dad are telling DG the same.  Also, as grounded as this family is, can you really hear mom and dad saying "Please stay close to home. Please stay close to home."? No way. Also - Meyer never changed his vote as he's not a speculate sort of person. Back to my first sentence..can you imagine a world with no "crystal ball" and only facts?  One where the recruit and his family aren't talking?  Sorry to be so anti-drama, but we still have a horse in this race.

Great post. The thing that alarms me the most is that he is announcing the same time that we are playing a game.. could mean nothing, but it just seems kinda strange to me.

Garland's dad told Rabjohns that it was an "awesome, awesome home visit" and that "we can't wait" for the Assembly Hall visit. Archie and all three assistants were there. The staff are definitely

I want to believe the gut feelings of many who think he is coming. Though Jerry Meyer switches his picks many times as late as the night before. So as nice is it is to see him hanging with us it doesn't hold that much water for me. Seems pro Vandy without my red colored glasses on. SORRY

He does often switch as the very last moment.  If Wednesday afternoon he still says IU we might have a chance.

No need to be sorry man. That's the beauty of this one as it truly is/was a coin flip. The family has been pretty good about not letting info out so the drama will be there until Wednesday.

Right now I am cautiously optimistic. You know what would “flip me“ into pessimistic? If Simi Shittu signs with or verbals to Vanderbilt during this early signing period.

Until that happens I don’t believe that Vanderbilt has enough signed talent to attract Darius garland.

As entertaining as this has been, I️ think I’m satisfied with waiting until Wednesday for the announcement from the actual recruit. What’s gonna happen is gonna happen. There could be a million reasons why he is doing the announcement Wednesday or why he liked this pic and not that one or why he had bagels for breakfast and not cereal.

Wednesday will be hear soon enough, hopefully it’s a good day for us, but until The announcement I’ll stay excited following Archie interviews about the team is coming along and the upcoming game.

Does seem to be an advantageous time to commit to IU. The announcers will give national exposure as we play a ranked team. 

Chris007 where art thou?

It also opens them up to ask Archie during a post game presser to get even more exposure. 

Nothing has changed on my end. It's gameday. We will be 2-0 going into a top 25 game when he announces for IU. I don't think even Shittu is that big of a deal because when he comes to IU he can play with Davis who will be more experienced and more NBA ready than Shittu. I'm not reaching out to any my contacts this weekend since we have two games to get ready for. Unless someone tells me something to make me change my mind It's IU.

As we watch the IU game in progress on Wednesday, we see at the bottom of the screen “breaking news: Darius Garland commits to Indiana University”...I mean, that’d be cool...

 

Nope. It will say University of Indiana if anything.. :)

Do you think Romeo moving up his announcement to the final 3 from around Thanksgiving to Saturday is coincidence? I'm thinking DG and RL talk regularly, and are very aware of all the suspense they are creating. Vandy will be on the short list come Saturday. More speculation of a package deal to Vandy will take up 4 or 5 pages on both threads. These players are enjoying the hell out of this, and I say, good for them. HH sealed the deal for both of these guys. No visit for either of them showed them anywhere near the love and attention. 

 

These re two have done a great job throwing the pundits off the trail. In 5 more days DG will be a Hoosier. Signed, sealed, and delivered by CAM. RL will have some more fun before it's over, but at the end of the day IU will have a top 3 recruiting class. 

Now, let's get ready for this much anticipated start to CAM's first year as our ball coach.
