5fouls Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Darius Garland did not make a FG the whole game. Don't know if he made a FT or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just coming here to post this. He doesn’t look like a great scorer, his handle sucks, he’s pretty small, and doesn’t seem that athletic. There is no way that kid is getting drafted in the first round in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at Drew's body of work. 2 or 3 talented freshman aren't going to change them from doormat to contender in a single year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danomatic Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 When Garland took that last shot, Romeo appeared to have been open at top of the key and didn’t seem to get a look from Garland. That would bother me, maybe not Romeo, but Romeo is probably the most talented scorer and didn’t get a look at the end? Hmmm... How is it possible that the flippin’ Vanderbilt Commodores could possibly land 4 McDonald’s All Americans? How? That university has been relevant maybe a couple of times in my 36 years on earth. If they did land Romeo and Montgomery, I spy some shady shenanigans. Romeo looked solid. His defense(which I understand that this was an all star game) was poor. Offensively, he was as smooth as we thought he’d be. Although, he tends to play soft with the ball in his hands. As in, he almost seems to be too loose. I recall seeing him get stripped 3, maybe 4 times while working with the ball. All in all, strong game. I hope he gets annoyed by the Vandy and Kansas recruits!

5fouls Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Romeo has stated improved defense is a goal of his. If he's being 100% honest about that, then Archie is his man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunce24 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Only because I love the predictions for how many pages this thread is going to be, I thought I would add to it. RL is IU bound. Too many 5*’s creates an identity issue. Everyone going for their own and trying to improve their draft stock, so RL passes on Vandy. Kansas is already good and will continue to be good, identity lost due to the soph’s and other 5*’s improving their draft stock, he passes on KU. Only place to keep his identity and truly improve in areas that will make him a top 10 draft pick is IU. Why is he waiting, he wants to play with these 5*’s so he can reaffirm what he already knows, IU is the only place where he will continue to have an identity and improve his draft stock.

Why would the 4th one put them over the edge of shady? Does that writing on the wall have anything to do with Romeo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montgomery and furthermore insinuating that it’s very strange for Vandy to start getting All Americans out of nowhere. Not sure what he meant by “they see the writing on the wall” though. 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaustical Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 In my mind, no matter how I look at it, we seem to be set up perfectly for him to come in and excel. Thing is this young man may have a different set of priorities (GO IU) than I. That's a shame. With Archies's hire, I haven't felt this good going forward for a long time. Romeo or not, we be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 I know he is just a kid but garland seems like a douchebag to me. Romeo hopefully sees that. Also, because of this recruiting cycle, I hate vanderbilt now as much as I hate Kentucky. Why are they even involved in this recruiting battle? I just don't get it.

JeffersonvilleHoosier Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Romeo has always worn #22.....when he got to NA high school an older kid had the number so he switched to 1 but his AAU number has always been 22. Speaking of that last play of the game when Garland didn't pass it to Romeo.....a NA Assistant coach Ryan Wheeler (former NA player as well) tweeted out the following.

NCHoosier32 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 So I didn't watch the McD's AA game last night. Sounds like he had a very good showing? Was anything interesting mentioned regarding his decision. I know this has been discussed over and over, but refresh my memory... when is the decision coming? How are we feeling?

HoosierJax Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Decision is in late April...I feel like it's between IU and Vandy....it's hard to get a real good feel for who it might be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 One of the announcers said something that some feel like that Vandy is in the lead but no one really knows anything. Also on the broadcast they talked about Vandy and what a good job Drew is doing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
