This was all very NIL related. Here is the story I got... The Vanderbilt Collective offered Stute a deal that if he signed with another SEC team, they will sponsor him by paying $200 per missed 3 point shot and an additional $100 for each time he let a ballhandler blow by him. He figured hey, I can ...

Two new recruits and a new assistant coach—how’s he gonna find time to coach the Pistons.

Great to have Stack full speed ahead!!!!

This is most likely about the money and ,yes, I would bet inappropriate contact as well. Whatever , I am sick of the whole mess and don't completely absolve the players. I cheer for the VU athletes because I believe, apparently somewhat incorrectly, that they are young people with their heads screwe...

Honestly, there is no difference in these athletes and everyone else in their generation. They want a job where they can work from home, start at $75 an hour, play with the cat and watch some tv during work hours. If someone pushes back, they quit and sit at home collecting their unemployment until ...

I believe Lawrence is the only one who could draw decent NIL money from another school. Wright may get some, but, he’s a grad transfer who’s going home….I don’t blame him, but I doubt NIL was the motivating factor on its own. I also believe Lawrence needs the money and has been recruited before he h...

I wish Stac would make a statement about all this. I'd like to know how he feels about all his best buddy players abandoning the team, the program, and him. I suspect - given his NBA lineage and coaching background - that Stack has a different perspective on this than old guard college coaches. Ros...

CJS to Bruce…” My friends in the G league just raised you…ante up or fold.”

I don't know how you can sugar coat the fact that we are arguably going into next year with less talent, experience, and hope than at any time as a VU fan sans 1 or 2 years. You're welcome to take this position, but I just don't buy it. I see a badass coach learning to adjust to the conditions in f...

I do think the Florida Atlantic model is consistent with Stack's vision of waves of guys playing tough defense and wearing teams down. While we have shown signs of wanting to do this in the past, we have not had enough players to actually do it. This squad seems pretty deep on athletes - we just nee...

Evaluating Stack, no one can argue he's giving less than a 100% for Vanderbilt. I'm grateful for him.

Maybe Tyrin is coming back, and the last scholly can go to a big. Hope is a good thing.

Given who our coach is, I think we will end up fairly stout on defense.

How 'bout an 'adda-boy' to Coach Stackhouse. We were all considering hara-kiri after the portal opened, and now we're clearly in better shape. I'm absolutely grateful and honored to have Mr. Stackhouse as our coach. The guy gives everything he has.

I could be completely wrong, but I wouldn't bet against JRT seeing a lot of time on the floor this season. If he's getting a lot of minutes at the 1 or 2, that means we're gonna be nasty, because we're already solid there. I would guess his minutes would be at the 2/3 due to his height and length. ...
