Though he was announcing this afternoon? Either way someone spilled the beans or is ruining this for what seems like a good kid.

 

[BoiledSteel]

Wait I thought we were told he was an IU lock?

 

[Fansince72]

Doesn't Romeo have Vandie in his top 3?

 

[Fansince72]

Not looking good for IU

Yep. Prepare for meltdown down south.

 

[Fansince72]

Probably that beat down by the Sycamores is what done it. It's too bad. Lol

I find this really interesting for a lot of reasons. Vandy is such an odd school to have a great ball team. I'm glad they do, but surprising to me. Rock on Bryce Drew ... take all you can from Mr. Miller.

How things have changed: last week Garland and Romeo were a lock for IU and the Peegsters were predicting a S16 - and it was not just one but a good number over there.

Now ISU smacks IU in Bloomington and Garland is off to Vandy. I guess that Archie is not the second coming of RMK despite previous assurances.

He goes to high school in Tenn, so Nashville is close to home. From reading this article, kid sounds like he has a good head on his shoulders. Talks about wanting to make sure he has a good degree to fall back on because he can't play ball forever. This coming from a 5-star player is refreshing to read.

And Jerry Meyer just switched his Romeo Langford crystal ball pick from IU to Vandy. Most thought Langford and Garland wanted to play together.

So it was an academic decision. Vandy is a good school!

 

[Wolegib]

that could be an interesting combo of Garland and Langford. I doubt they are enough to make Vandy an elite team. but they would do enough to get noticed if all they want to be is a one and done.

Bryce Drew would be in line for a bigger gig if he gets Langford too. I don't think Stallings could have done this at Vandy.

Just looking at Pitt tells us absolutely NO he couldn't do it at Vandy, he might not be able to do it UK...

 

[TC4THREE]

And now there's this....

 

[Wolegib]

I am led to wonder if signing Phinisee had anything to do with garland's decision? admittedly, garland is better. But maybe he didn't like the direction IU was going. and that blow out loss confirmed his beliefs. I fully expect Romeo to also scratch off IU.

That is what pretty much guaranteed Garland to Vanderbilt, because he Langford would not of listed them if Garland wasn't going there. Still a crapshoot though

1973 is sure quiet. Must be sobbing in a dark corner of Nicks down in Bloomington.

Pitt has really fallen off, albeit w/ a very young team, but losing to Navy and now Montana is brutal.

 

[wawasee]

I was surprised IU made his final list. I am sure the loss to Belmont won't sway him either..

Mike Tyson said: Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face! Welcome to B1G recruiting Archie.

Vandy is also in line for Top Ten player Semi Shittu.

Wasn't he the one that "guaranteed" both of those guys going to iu?

His mom works for Vandy.

His mom works for Vandy.

Maybe she got a promotion recently. Like yesterday recently.

I believe she's a long time employee.

That may be true but doesnt mean she didn’t get a promotion... this is one of the Drew boys after all...

And honestly, you gotta do whatever you can, within the NCAA rules, to get players at Vandy. Hire the whole family if you have to.
