He’s been right about several others as well. He usually has good intel but no one is 100% all the time. Well he did not really come out and say anything besides it is 50/50 right now so tome that is not saying anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 If I was Dawson I would be more interested in why the Hauser bros transferred out and several others the past few years under Wojo...and why their team chemistry etc fizzled at the end of last year. https://www.bigeastcoastbias.com/2019/4/16/18346991/all-that-glitters-isnt-golden-marquette-golden-eagles-transfer-problem-sam-joey-hauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really seems like the MU fanbase is vocally divided on him. At least so far this season, Archie seems to be getting almost unanimous positive support.

Yes MU can give him tons of shots due to Howard departing however I view the Howard situation similar to Carson Edwards. Edwards will be a depth guy for his entire career in the NBA, no not a starter or 6th man but he'll get a few mins night in/night out and bounce between the G-League and NBA when the Celtics are fully healthy. Howard will be very similar to what Edwards path is in the NBA IMO. I do wonder what IU is selling in terms of playing time and number of shots. Does Marquette have that much of an advantage here? Green and Davis will be gone....and I hate to say this prematurely, but will TJD be coming back? And if that's the case, from Dawson's perspective is it more of a selling point to be playing with TJD or without him? Maybe because it's what i'm hoping for but I think a line-up with TJD will allow him to thrive in his Freshman year. In my biased opinion a line-up of Garcia, TJD, Hunter, Al and Rob is much better than anything Marquette will have to offer. Even if it's a potentially drop off in his production, you'd have to think his efficiency will be way up because opposing defenses won't be keying in on him as much as they would at Marquette. You'd have to think think he'd be third or fourth on 'targets' opposing defenses will key in on - behind Rob, TJD and possibly Al. ...just thinking out loud again. edit: crap, I forgot about Justin in that line up! (I'll substitute him for Hunter for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUaic Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Going to be a fun couple of days over analyzing everything to determine which way DG is leaning.

That is what makes this commitment so perfect....DG would fit beautifully next to Smith and TJD next year and we would all be instantly happy to see that happen!! Honestly...IU would have the opportunity to be favored to win the B1G next year with whom we would roll out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier987 Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Crazy that there have been no recent crystal ball predictions and we’re 2 days out. The Garcia camp must be doing a really good job of keeping this quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgambill Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 I like our chances. The connections we have with Dawson imo are just as strong as Minnesota or Marquette honestly. We have an assistant coach from Minnesota, kid from his AAU program in Race Thompson, and USA bunk mates in Trey Galloway and Anthony Leal. We have just as many ties to Garcia as any.

One is birdman who doesn't post anymore as far as I know and the others are Sam and Chris. He might be wrong about Dwade but that would be a rarity for him.

Anybody will be impressed if they fly in an NBA guy for your visit but given the current coach did not develop him really doesn't mean much imo. I assume the initial high wore off by now.
