'18 TN PG Darius Garland

Why is the title of this thread including TN?

That's where he currently lives, but that doesn't make him a "Tennessee kid", he hasn't lived in the state long at all, he's an "Indiana kid".

I believe Rick and his staff recruit players that show interest in TN. Rick want players that will work hard when they get here so the players have to buy in to what Rick is selling.
Two years ago we had nothing to sell except Rick. We now have a solid base of players doing things the right way and showing progress. As soon as we make the NCAA the highly rated players will come and do so believing in Rick. In two years we're a top 20 team.
