addictedtoIU Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 What's going on? Did Vandy coach get down on his knees or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 4 minutes ago, IU Scott said: I remember the Watford's use to drive from Birmingham for about every game and that is a lot farther than Nashville. Yep. I understand the appeal of hometown. I do. But if the difference between getting a player is 3 hours I'll be a little surprised. As others have said I think I'm going to remain patient on this one. No one can tell me Vandy would be the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I was thinking just in case we miss out on both Garland and Romeo where do we turn. It just seems like we put everything into these two and we don't have a back up for these two. I would hope we could wait until the spring to see if there are any coaching changes. We could also look at some grad transfer and then save the scholarship for 2019 class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie has already wrapped up a typical recruiting class for us if we don't get Romeo or Darius. If he does get even one of them, we are beyond our typical class.

Yeah, we don't really need these two. Luxury, not a need. Archie will gladly carry the scholarships over to 2019 if needed. Although, it'd be great to have the both.

With these two and they stay a couple of years we would be a title contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a must have, but it sure would be a big deal for many reasons. Romeo is a key recruit, Garland is a luxury. A great luxury! But I think Romeo is the bigger deal.

Think about it, Jerry Meyer has yet to change his pick - -- and I'm sure he has heard the "Duke insiders" reasoning of why they think Darius may choose Vandy. If Jerry does change his pick, then it's time to start wondering what is going on. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Jerry have connections in Nashville?

Agreed, as I am keeping an eye on Jerry's pick and yes, he lives in Nashville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo hellos close the borders The program completely takes off if Romeo commits to IU. If we miss on him, then we could be in the same position with next year's targets as we are with this years. Since this a DG thread...if DG commits, I can't possibly see us missing on Romeo. Lastly, I think those Duke guys are throwing darts. The smart play is to crystal ball the long time, hometown favorite. Don't look like a fool predicting IU when you actually don't know anything, if he happens to choose Vandy. I'll worry (and probably count us out) if Jerry Meyer changes his prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Another CB for Vandy.. Guess what, it's another Duke writer. 56% Vandy 25% IU 19% Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiz10 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Just curious as to why so much stock is put into Jerry Meyers pick. I am very familiar and aware of who he is, I've been following him for years as well. Admittedly I do not follow the crystal ball predictions but still wonder why his picks carry so much clout. If he changes his pick then all the sudden we have been eliminated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with those who are not too concerned until we see if Meyers or at least "non-Duke" people change their picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDB Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 DG said in an interview w Peegs, that he hasn't decided and there is no frontrunner... Also, I may be overthinking it, but he sounds high on UCLA, and he doesn't say anything about IU that makes you feel any better than how we are feeling right now, says the same things about Vandy he has been saying for a while.. But included that "hopefully they get Shittu, and Romeo and just come in and have a big role." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryan200088 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Our fanbase is a little over the top right now with panicking with the Crystal Ball. The article on Peegs doesn't really shed any light anywhere. People read way too much into the comments. Darius hasn't decided yet and doesn't even know. It will be between IU and Vandy. That is all but a guarantee. I can't really say who it will be. I think Vandy is tugging pretty hard at him but if IU could get down there one more time to lay its plan out I think that would be a positive. Who knows what happens, but I can guarantee you all these Duke writers are just grasping at straws and following the leader on their picks. Nobody truly knows right now.

The Duke writers are following their leader, which is Andrew Slater. You might as well make all their picks just one, because they are making their picks based off of what Andrew has heard.

So after DG's IU visit, Jerry changed to IU...we thought a commitment was imminent. Combine that with the fact that he lives in Nashville...I would say he's as plugged in as anyone could be to the DG recruitment/decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
