What happened to the site?

Didn’t realize how much I’d miss it until I couldn’t access it for the past two days.

Re: Vandy in the mix for Campbell transfer Anthony Dell'Orso

I love the idea of a team with multiple interchangeable parts. Not that we are equal in talent, but the 1988-89 Illinois team featuring Nick Anderson, Kenny Battle, and Kendall Gill was composed of a bunch of 6’6” players that could match up with anybody. It may be my favorite college ream of all ti...

Re: Jason Rivera-Torres commits to Vandy

Paul Lewis was also a late commit last year without all the “stars” and hype of our higher profile recruits. His contribution as a backup point guard was a definite plus last year. I trust our staff with player evaluation more than the recruiting “experts” online.

Re: Jason Rivera-Torres commits to Vandy

Looking at video (admittedly a small sample) is a right handed player who can finish with his left hand. Much more athletic than I had anticipated . If he buys into Stack’s system, his versatility will be a real asset.

Re: I'm wondering when we will get our first transfers.

For the general undergraduate population transfer decisions for the University begin in late April. Vanderbilt being Vanderbilt, I would be surprised if anything official comes through until May. However, I hope the athletic department is working with admissions to give unofficial assurances to pote...

Re: Malik Dia enters the portal

Sorry to see Dia go as well, but I doubt if his or Shelby's portal decision was made in a vacuum. I would not surprise me, in view of Stackhouse's obviously strong relationship with his players, if these departures were tacitly encouraged or at minimum not discouraged by the staff. Stack obviously w...

Re: Veteran coming back next season?

If the rumors are accurate, it appears that both Manjon and QMB will be back next year. Looking at the VUCommodores website, they report that Robbins, Wright and Ansong will be honored tomorrow
night. Last year only Chatman and Weikert were recognized on Senior Night.

Transfer Portal Question

I was under the impression that the transfer portal was a one time situation. In previous posts there has been speculation that Frank and/or Mann might transfer due to lack of potential playing time next season. Since they both transferred from Division I Schools to Vanderbilt last year, I was led t...
