I have no inside info. Was just going off of KDB's rumor that it was going to be 11/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy on a different board saying someone close with the Garland family told him that Darius would commit to IU on 11/1.. Odds of that happening are becoming VERY slim. I think Garland will pop soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKIM01 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 While I thing IU is in good shape, it's definitely not a done deal if he's hosting in-home visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy visited just a few days before the announcement, and at about the same time Cody's mom got a "Care Package" at school, from IU. IU gear Cody wore for the announcement ceremony.

addictedtoIU Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Assuming Darius Garland on board, next season's PG battle will be fierce between him and Green, which will make both players (AND Phinisee) better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would have both of them with Green and Jones and maybe you can play 3 of them at the same time. I could see Phinisee red shirting next year to get a year under his belt in the weight room.

Seeking6 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 These other visits could mean a few things. Family seems stand up. Maybe they are bring them in to let them know what their choice will be in person? Or perhaps they are so nice they can't say no? Or perhaps they just want to gather last second information to confirm their choice. Plenty of ways to interpret. We've done what we can do. And just my opinion...Darius and Romeo start from day 1.

dbmhoosier Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Garland and Romeo would both start. You can bank that. We would likely start 3 guards and it would be the best trio of guards any B1G team has had since the 2005 Illinois team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier82 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 I think it'll largely depend on matchups vs our opponents. If Green shows he can run the offense and take care of the ball then I could see him getting the start against teams with more size in the post and Garland spelling him off the bench....against smaller teams, do a tandem PG with him and Garland but with Green guarding their 3. Jones is the one who will likely be the odd man out in the starting line up but will probably still see plenty of minutes. I truly hope this "problem" does present itself in the future...

I agree but I'd have a hard time seeing Archie playing Green against their "3" if said 3 were 6'7 or taller with post skills, especially when we have Justin Smith...it's a pretty minor adjustment in my opinion and one that wouldn't disrupt the offense. Most coaches just go to a zone rather than change the line up but I don't if Archie is willing to play zone d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier987 Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Romeo and Garland would definitely be our starting back court, and they would be dominate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Yeah, me too. Maybe I'm just over thinking it, but since there was so much smoke coming out about Garland, maybe we were just too hopeful that it was us. Maybe it was Vandy all along, and we mistakenly assumed it was us. We won't obviously know for sure until he makes his announcement-but I will be very curious to see whether or not there is a mass switch to Vandy here in the next day or so.

dbmhoosier Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 IU. The longer this goes the worse it is for us IMO. I just hope he doesn't influence Romeo. Darius is definitely the alpha of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
