Beyond those two things, he doesn't have the same life perspective as the 'average' 5 star recruit. If (When?) IU gets his commitment, it will be other factors that would have sealed the deal for the Cream & Crimson. Well, we’re talking about a legendary Indiana high school player here. He isn’t your typical 5star recruit either, which you mentioned. I’m extemely bearish about our chances at landing the best and if it’s going to happen then this is one that HAS to happen. I’m liking our chances here. I really am. Over 50%? I don’t know about that. Let’s see what happens. The energy is amazing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted October 22, 2017 Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 Everything has been done and done well to have 2 of the top ten players wearing candy stripes. IU is in great shape with both and is in great hands with Archie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FW_Hoosier Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Reading the ITH articles about Garland’s and Langford’s visits, I’m feeling VERY confident about getting both of them. It sounds like their parents are pretty much all in on IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like their parents are pretty much all in on IU. It to me definitely sounds like Darius's father is all for him being a Hoosier, and I think he actually hopes he goes to IU.. Obviously he wants him to feel like he made the right decision, but if it was up to him.. I think Darius would be in Bloomington. As for Romeo, I liked hearing his dad say, "Last night, it was electrifying." and "It was a special feeling." I'm not sure what else he could've said about Hoosier Hysteria that would've sounded better to us fans. I think we are in a great position with both of them, and If Archie can seal the deal on both of them.. I may just cry happy tears, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKIM01 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 I know recruits always say positive things about their visits but I sure like reading "awesome" "special" and "electrifying" better than "it went real good" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CauseThatsMyDJ Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 Walking the recruits out individually and prominently to get recognized by the fans is such a smooth tactic. How was this not happening before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget which one it was... but one of the mom's was even moved to tears, over the reception her son got. I said before HH, how important it was going to be to have the entire families there.

But did not want to make a mistake..... Mr's Garland was moved to tears. And on top of that Mr. Garland restated the fact that he has always been a Hoosier fan.

T-Free20 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Share Posted October 23, 2017 After checking out Inside The Hall this morning and reading the feedback from the players and their parents, a few things stood out for me that makes me think we have a VERY good shot at landing not just Romeo and Garland, but also Brooks Jr and Jackson-Davis... Garland's mom getting teary eyed Jackson-Davis saying he gets recognized in high school sometimes, but not at the level it was for Hoosier Hysteria Langford's dad mentioning that Romeo had never got a reception from the fans like he did Saturday night, and the whole family noticed. (Keep in mind, this means Indiana made a bigger impression than Vandy, UCLA and UNC, in my opinion) Langford's parents being impressed with Clif Marshall Langford's dad very openly saying they could make a decision literally any day. Any idea if he has said anything of the sort to this point after his previous visits? I would think this is a huge indicator of how his family feels about IU and wanting him to come here. Archie is putting them into very good position, not just now, but also in the future. You can't help but be excited for what the future holds. If he gets the players he wants, the sky very well could be the limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parakeet Jones Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Sunday is my 40th birthday. How great would a couple of commits from these two be as a present? I originally wanted tickets to the Duke game, but decided selling a kidney on the black market to pay for them was a bad idea. This is what I want for plan B.

kaustical Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Say we get lucky and we get them both, potentially giving us the #1 class in the nation. I wonder if that influences recruits. Places like Duke and UK must get some momentum, thinking the best want to play together. Here's to that scenario playing out at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sagamore Posted October 26, 2017 Report Share Posted October 26, 2017 Maybe not the correct thread to mention this, or if it is mentioned in other threads, but does anybody think the recruiting landscape will change drastically for the one-an-done schools if the NBA eliminates the one year waiting period?

Here’s why I’m so excited about IU basketball right now, if we do get both, I don’t think it’s luck I think it’s because Archie is that good. Nothing is done until they potentially commit/sign, but I think IU basketball is in great hands right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that Archie is doing this without coaching a game at IU, to me, shows it's not a fluke. He has clear and concise messages to recruits, and it's resonating. He had to play catch up with both these kids, and with both of them leaning IU (it seems), shows he's got some recruiting prowess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he took the helm of Indiana's flagship program (now he's got tremendous amount of resources), he's made a monumental progress. I think his somewhat laid-back demeanor and the ability to connect made high school kids and their families comfortable while he can still stay on business when it's time for persuasion. It's only a matter of time we get back to where we belong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
