I think Archie and our staff have shown exactly the path for Garcia. Where he fits. He'll know people. Can come to the most Southern Big 10 school in the conference and avoid Minny winters. I'm feeling pretty good as in 50/50 good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I am sure many of you know. However, if you don't know. Anthony Leal considers Garcia a good friend. And has been putting a full court press on Dawson to consider IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrangerHoosier Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 I know Penny is recruiting lights out at Memphis, but eventually playing in the AAC will have to turn some recruits off. Especially when they inevitably fall on their face this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 FWIW I heard from a connected AAU guy that still thinks Garcia is still a Spring commit. I am hearing many more people that feel as early as mid November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the feeling he would like to get UK and Duke involved and that would change things for us. That said both of them see to be moving forward with other guys. Seeing that we seem to be striking out on point guards I think we hold our final scholarship for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They struck out last year and that is why they were trying to get a grad transfer. This year they have some targets but the big men haven't committed like the guards and forwards...so if they strike out they may open up his recruitment. They were following him pretty closely until he got sick and missed the big summer tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the in state/out of state aspect, I'd put his recruitment in a similar category as C Zeller, as far as what Garcia could potentially bring to the team and program. Scouting report sounds similar to Cody. From 247 Sports: Length allows him to block shots, and he is a capable rebounder. As he gets stronger, all parts of his game should begin to come together. He isn’t an elite athlete, but he does have solid explosion off the court. He is very skilled. Can make shots out to the three-point line, is very good going off the dribble, and also can pass. His upside is significant, and he does have a little bit more potential than production. Keeps improving and has an excellent chance to stick in the NBA for a long time.

Billingsley99 Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Plus he would set the stage for others from out of state to potentially follow suit. I want all the guys that want to he a Hoosier and are equally important (kind a) this kid could be a game changer in many ways. He and Lander and then add Kaufman and any of the others with that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobSaccamanno Posted October 9, 2019 Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 If 2021 goes as well as we feel is on the cusp of happening, if you come out of 2020 with Garcia, Geronimo, Leal, and Galloway, we have an ideal situation. I think this is the best way possible going forward. You'd be building a lasting program, not a high beta team with heavy year to year volatility as we had previously. If you give me a roster of tough 4 star juniors and seniors and put us against a bunch of five star freshmen and sophomores, I would like my chances more often that not. And, it can be lasting that way year over year. This was a mistake from the past regimes that we are rectifying this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been noted before, but it just seems apparent that Archie is executing a strategy with a clear vision of what he wants the team to be. With Crean and Davis it seemed reactionary too often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I ain’t going to lie. Garcia would make this a B1G champion quality team. I mean we would return Rob and Armaan in the backcourt with possibly Hunter, Garcia and Trayce to start beside them. Add Brunk, Smith, and Race to that front court...wow. Then of course Damezi, Jordan, Al, Trey, and Anthony and that’s a versatile talented team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
