If I had to bet, it's Evan Taylor of Lehigh. EDIT: It's Evan Taylor. Looks like he has a covid season left so this will be his only season at Vandy. First blush look is that for Lehigh he was very heavily used - played almost 32 mpg on average and took 27.5% of shots while he was on the floor - whi...

Hoping this is a Jordan Wright replacement and not a Tyrin Lawrence replacement. 1) He couldn’t replace Ty (which is part of your point, I think). 2) I will be legitimately shocked if Ty isn’t back next season. Testing the NBA waters is part of his development plan, much as it was for Pippen after ...

1) He couldn’t replace Ty (which is part of your point, I think). 2) I will be legitimately shocked if Ty isn’t back next season. Testing the NBA waters is part of his development plan, much as it was for Pippen after his sophomore season. Ty clearly has a strong relationship with Stack, and next y...

Although his father started following me on Twitter today, so that's a good sign.

That is probably more accurate than the crystal ball! OTOH, maybe he just likes your tweets?

5,000 bots can't be wrong.

The Goldfinger tweet meter is 100%! 1st place! In your face Jerry Meyer!

Neither Thomas or QMB have found a new school. What are the odds one returns? Can they return? I would assume that anyone hitting the portal is gone. But agree with Nashman - why would we want Thomas back? At best he is buried on the bench as a three point specialist. At worse he is taking up 20 mp...

Would be nice to get a big with 2 years of remaining eligibility. I would have to think that experienced bigs have to be the priority. At the moment the only true posts on the roster are Dort and Lang, and Lang only has slightly less experience than Dort does. We're projecting Smith at the 4 because...

Count me as one who is disappointed to see Trey and QMB leave. Fine if totally their decision. But I’m not okay with pushing them out. They’re not the most talented out there, but I think there is tremendous value in continuity and just good team guys. Would have rather seen them accept their roles...

It's hard to know who or what to blame. Heck, every one of these transfers could represent unique individual circumstances. Malik Dia and Noah Shelby obviously didn't leave for NIL opportunities at Belmont and Rice, respectively. Neither did QMB or Trey Thomas, and I kind of doubt Myles Stute left ...

He's Australian and started 22 games for the Camels this season as a freshman, and averaged 12.5 ppg on 48.7% shooting (and 32.2% from three). He's also 6'6", which would make him the 16th player on next year's roster at that height. :? https://twitter.com/336Edits/status/1650536090208464896 T...

Note that CJS is understanding that regardless of whether he likes the portal or NIL, he needs to be in the game. And he knows that he can get productive players from the portal who can come in and start immediately. He just can't rely on getting 1 per season and probably needs to grab 2 or 3 each y...

The only narrative that makes sense to me is that he went to the portal with some pretty loft expectations on where he would land, perhaps thinking there might be a place for him at another top 20 academic institution where he'd finish his education and play more. My guess is that the phone didn't ...

Let Robbins host him.

We need a real big - and then we can build off last year.

I imagine he'll be in very high demand, but his addition would immediately elevate our chances for making the tournament. No brainer.

i cannot speak for every dismissal but I do know that Stack suggested to at least one if not several of our guys that it might be a good idea to transfer. And also that $$ was the main reason for our highest profile departures. Yes it is a lot of turnover that goes against what we all love about co...

If you think there is someone better out there for us…..good luck with that! Do you think that making the NCAA tournament is a pipe dream, and that only with extreme luck we can get there? I think that we will need to build and retain a legit SEC roster with much less NIL money than any other SEC t...

I think Noah Shelby is a different case. He had potential and I think his father (he knows the sport) understood that some patience was going to be required, but Noah didn’t want to wait. C-USA has proven to be a pretty good basketball conference over the years. I don’t think Shelby’s transfer is a...

South Dakota transfer, 6'8". 240. 12.5/6.4.1.7, 40.1%3pt, 83%FT. PF/C, grad transfer Really good get - he is not that tall, but has good size, rebounded very well for a PF and has proven to be a good 3 pt shooter. Good stretch 4 option to go along with Smith and is just a 1 year player, so no ...

If/when Lawrence returns I would say we improved through the portal. We lost some fan favorites in QMB and Jordan Wright but we should get a lot more production in our new bigs. Evan Taylor should certainly shoot the ball better than Stute or Trey this season. Our biggest loss was Liam who ran out ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iCmFc4I2cU Around the 41 minute mark or so they get into NIL and Lawrence. Interesting that their perception of the amount of NIL money available is wildly different than what the perception of this board is. Luke Wyatt, a formed VUAD employee notes that he thinks th...

This is a horrible take. Without Lawrence, we have NIT level talent. With him we should make the tournament. Why would you not want to have someone who helps the team make the touranment?
