From what I read they enjoyed playing with each other. I could stand corrected, but I believe they played together on the USA team. I saw an interview where everyone that played with Garland loved him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is announcing on ESPN I would think it would be on a signing day special. it is funny that ESPN has like 13 hours of coverage on the first day of the signing for football but can't have anything for basketball. $$$$$$... football>basketball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLHoosier Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 I haven't seen anything posted about this, but does anyone think that Archie being a former (decent) college point guard at NC State helps us with Darius at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Darius's former AAU coach thinks he is going to IU. I'm sure it's an unsubstantiated opinion, but it carries as much weight as all the Vandy chatter. He also thinks Romeo is IU bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rico Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Been following this thread.......really dont have much input other than this. I am half Tennessean, my Mother was born and raised there and I still got family there. Doesn't seem to me like anyone has talked about the city of Nashville. Take Vandy out of the equation as they are fine academic school. But has anyone mentioned the city? I love it, to me it is better than Bloomington. They got two pro franchises there and the music is awesome. I love eating there. I am just throwing out another caveat. Hope I didn't piss anybody off.

I kinda lump that into home town advantage. Lol still great callout to me. I hadn't thought about it like that. I was thinking program V program.

To me it feels more like a college experience when you go to a traditional college town instead of a big city. That is why I wouldn't want to go to UL or a St' Johns or a DePaul.

I think I heard or read that Blackmon only came to IU after Kensucky signed Booker which meant Blackmon would not get the playing time he would at IU.

BtownBallers Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Regarding Btown vs Nashville, I will weigh in as I have lived in both cities. Nashville is an awesome town and a great place to live. Lots of stuff to do and lots of pretty girls. I lived there right after I got out of College. I think it was the perfect town to live in as a young professional. I'm sure I would have had fun living there in College too, but I think I had more fun (especially as a freshman and sophomore) in Bloomington than I could have in Nashville. I personally think Bloomington is a great city to experience college in and Nashville is a great city for young professionals. I think I did it exactly right. As far as what a young man such as Darius would prefer is up to him. I think one thing going for us actually is that Darius has lived in Nashville for 5 years and knows exactly what is available to kids his age there and maybe a change of scenery, a little more distance from Mom and Dad, a little more independence is what he wants. I don't know what he wants, but there are just as many advantages to living in Btown as there is to living in Nashville at that point in a young adults life.

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted November 9, 2017 Report Share Posted November 9, 2017 Apparently the Vandy coaching staff is calling around trying to get information on Darius again today. Seems like something Crean would do. Embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
