Commitment (Class of 2025): Caden Knighten, 5-10 175 RB Wynnewood, OK

He becomes the first commitment for Vandy's Class of 2025... has a 4-star rating from On3 Sports and is rated the No. 1 RB in Oklahoma in his class. Visited campus a week or so ago. He is a speed demon: as a freshman, he was the state champion in the 100-meter dash in Oklahoma. [img=https://pbs.twim...

Thoughts on Vandy's spring game: Lots of goods and bads

The Black (defense) defeated The Gold (offense) 37-30, but the game didn't really seem that close. On a cold, wet evening in the lacrosse stadium, the defense seemed to dominate the offense for most of the game-- although the offense did pull off a couple of big plays in the second half (when the se...

Commitment: Brycen Coleman 6-5 200 FLEX/WR/QB Berlin, Maryland

He reportedly runs a 4.48 40 and is a multisport star at his high school. (Folks, you will take as many athletes with this combination of size and speed as you can find, and figure out what to do with them later.) Had offers from Minnesota, Boston College, East Carolina, and a number smaller and aca...

Re: Anfernee Orji goes undrafted

Two consecutive years without a draft pick for Vandy. Vandy is the only SEC school without a draftee. Not a good look for a program that prides itself on developing players... hopefully things will soon change. SEC Draft Picks 2023 (62) Alabama — 10 Georgia — 10 Florida — 6 LSU — 6 Tennessee — 5 Au...

Commodore Caravan in Atlanta Monday night

Hmmm... originally the event was scheduled at the Atlanta Braves' Truist Park for an evening on which there was no game... but the Braves got rained out over the weekend and now there's a Braves-Mets game at 4:40 pm. Wondering how that will affect things. I had hoped to attend, but I am now unable. ...

Mo Hasan tweets: "I'm a Titan, let's go!"

Hasan, though much beloved in Nashville for the home win over Missouri that he started and for his good works in feeding the homeless, nevertheless was outside of that one game never much of a contributor at Vandy or USC... good luck to him!

His Top 5 are: Van...
