FritzIam4IU Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Just now, IU Scott said: Nothing more that the coaching staff could have done with the recruitment of Garland and Romeo. If the kids want to go elsewhere then there is nothing a coach can do. Agreed. Hopefully Romeo "stays home" as well. Still a great job by Archie getting a strong of a class as he has (and hopefully stronger if Romeo comes). Wish the best for Garland as well...he seems like a great kid.

With the quotes from Garland in there, clearly that article was supposed to run after the announcement. Good luck to Darius. Seems like a good kid. Hope Romeo stays home too.

IU Scott Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 If I was Rabjohn's and they did not tell me this before going all the way to Nashville I would be upset. If they knew this they should have told him so he would not have to waste his time going down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtownBallers Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Let’s also all remember that prior to Hoosier Hysteria non of us really thought we had much of a shot at DG. The fact we made it so close in such a short time is great. I hate moral victories, but I do believe it is better to keep a positive attitude than get down that we missed on this recruit.

If the kid really didn’t want “his thunder to be stolen,” he should’ve just announced when he made the decision. Instead, the family dragged it out because they obviously loved the media and fan attention (mostly coming from IU), and the decision leaked. Too bad, so sad.

milehiiu Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 After praising the Garland's for being quiet.... I am just as equally disappointed in them for giving an interview, before the announcement. An interview, by the way, which could have been as easily granted after the announcement.

I think one of the things we are over looking here, and I admit to being guilty of it, is the long standing close relationship Darius and the family had with the Drew's. In the end, that was one tough nut to crack. Doubt this had anything to do with banners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t think most people play the “history” thing anymore. From a pure basketball standpoint (atmosphere, arena, conference, exposure, etc.) I’m not sure many people can spin it to the idea Vandy has any type of advantage. If they do, I think they have loose screws. The kid wanted to stay home and/or knew he’d have the opportunity to play with Shittu, and maybe others. Simple as that.

We are always hearing about kids choosing a school for the coach, more than the school. I had known that Darius had a long standing relationship with the Drew's, but did not know it went all the way to when he was in the 3rd grade. Upon learning of that, I am even more impressed with Archie in his ability to even get this close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BtownBallers Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Looking at twitter right now makes me proud to be a Hoosier fan. Lots of IU fans congratulating Darius and wishing him the best. We can be a big loud fan base, and I’m glad I’m not seeing any butt hurt fans saying anything negitive (at least so far).

He just got here and our class next year is good even without these guys. Anything on top of that would of been pretty incredible. I think it's a little dramatic to be too disappointed in a kid for picking his "home town" school. Archie made up a lot of ground fast, which is a very good sign. Our focus should be building on the momentum we have. Hopefully we see great improvement in the team throughout the season.These freshman already look pretty good, now it's about getting the upperclassmen healthy and playing up to their abilities.

I have been saying it for months. On the positive side if we still had Crean we would not be in his final three. But Vandy has always been a bigger threat for Romeo than Kansas.
