Indiana plays Seton Hall in a game that tips off at 5:30 on Wednesday. The initial word was that Garland would make his announcement either on Friday or Monday, both days that Vanderbilt has a game. Vanderbilt does not play on Wednesday." This is what was written by a Vandy beat writer. I think we're trying to spin things in favor of IU, but honestly this makes more sense. Garland may have chosen Wednesday because he didn't want to be a distraction for Vandy's games. Time will tell, but I think Darius is gone. Not that many people watch Vandy games and the coaches will know ahead of time so who would it distract? IMO, it would be more advantageous for Vandy to have the announcement prior to one of their games to try to create more buzz and use that buzz to appeal to Shittu and Romeo.

I'm going to check on what Scott Skiles is doing then. He may be the key that we are overlooking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, hey, I'll play too. Maybe 5:30 is the time due to 2 very simple family reasons. First, his parents wouldn't have to miss any time at work. And, second, 5:30 is right after his practice is over. No missed school, no missed work, don't mess with practice. It's all in good fun. I think everyone here is pretty obviously excited about the possibility of Darius coming to IU. That being said, if he chooses Vanderbilt, life goes on and nothing really changes for us all personally. It's still fun to be obsessive about it though.

Burton Guster Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 So now that everyone's Wednesday conspiracy theories have been blown out of the water (and there were some good ones), what does everyone think a Monday announcement means for us? I think he's picking IU. I should say though, I base that on nothing but gut feeling and that I have no sources of any kind on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CauseThatsMyDJ Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I’m done trying to figure this out. 50/50. Literally everything that has transpired could be construed as good for either IU or Vandy, depending on where your loyalties lie. Let’s see what happens on Monday and enjoy IUs two games before then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Ok here's my theory and then I am done, barring any major news..(who am I kidding, I'll probably refresh this 50 times by Monday). Darius is going to Vanderbilt. He set the date for Wednesday prior to realizing we were playing a major game against Seton Hall. In addition to this, Vandy plays monday. He didn't want to cause a ruckus by committing elsewhere at the same time our game started, and so he changed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierdaddy Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Not going to lie, love the community & forum - but you guy's are flat out ridiculous relating the timing to our Seton Hall game. Lol, cracking up imagining how on-point people thought this was. O well! Announcement time was always driven by media availability / school schedule.

Kodos Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Interesting. The announcement has been moved to Monday, the 13th. Dan Marino's number was 13, and he played college in Pittsburgh. I think we have our answer, boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
