OT: 247 Sports reporting Darius Garland has withdrawn from Vandy.

[iu2win]

According to 247 Sports, Garland has withdrawn from Vanderbilt to focus on NBA. Hate it for the young man that he was injured and out for the season. I would have expected he might play one more season at Vandy if for no other reason than to quell any doubts about his injury/rehab. Seems to me NBA teams may back off due to his injury; then again, perhaps he will have opportunities to show he is well prior to the draft.

Last report I saw he was still being considered a top10 pick.

What's that say about Vandy's medical staff and/or training staff and facilities? All kinds of negative recruiting material right there.

Consider the source-there is more to it than just that.

There have been times tonight that made me think Langford has withdrawn, too.

 

[Tegray1]

He has lost confidence. Got to fight through it.

Vandy is literally one of the best medical facilities in the world.

"So if that's the case, coach drew, why did he leave to go rehab somewhere else?", asked the recruit's parent.

 

[ufo33]

He gone. Vandy debacle. Drew is resume building to move on to a bigger and better job than Vandy. #steppin'stone

He’s training for the NBA. Players do it all the time. Why did OG leave IU after the season? They got to prepare with NBA trainers.

The key distinction being after, not during.

He’s hurt and not playing. Had you not heard? OG was healthy.

Players do this these days at all kinds of schools. It’s not an indictment on Vandy in any way.

OG wasn't healthy. He had a season ending knee injury. If you can't even grasp the basic facts, you should STFU and not embarrass yourself.

How do you not know OG was injured and out for the season when he last played for IU?

I mean how does an IU fan not remember this? It was just a few years ago

 

[TommyCracker]

Sounds like he loves his team.

Maybe he has realized that he is going to have to shoot better to make it at the next level.
