Wow ! I really hope you are right; personally this is a triple layer of frosting on the cake for me as to next year's season.

FWIW, Robbie Weinstein CB’d Lawrence to return to VU.
This would be a solid roster.

Re: Arky #3

Terrific comeback after the Florida debacle. Many heroes today, but here are my co-MVP's: 1. every pitcher not named Schultz 2. positions 6-9 in the batting order who had 8 hits between them, and 4 of our 5 RBI's 3. me. I rooted harder I think in this game than any other game this season. You're we...

Re: Some Tyrin news

Look I want Tyrin back - absolutely no reservations about that. Even beyond that though, this NIL crap is the crap future we face and VU has to find a way to deal with that. It is hard for me to fathom that Vandy , even fully accepting the academic priority of most wealthy supporters, cannot find a ...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence at the G League combine today

Then he is gone. Period. Case closed. Not necessarily. This doesn’t secure a roster spot. It is a good part of his learning process though. Okay. Simply because I want to hold out hope, this would seem to indicate his first choice is to go pro / G league sinc he has accepted no other college offer....

Re: Just thinking ahead

Becoming (once again) a strong team in a strong SEC is one thing, competing for a national title is quite another. I just wonder though if it matters to sisters to play together in college or if each sister needs her separate space. If it is the latter, then she will end up elsewhere. I have seen w...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence

They could make 20% on that endowment and not a penny would or could go into the NIL. That money has to come from outsiders who want name, image, likeness from the players.

Re: Christian Little

Didn't get the results here that he expected and felt that he could do better elsewhere. As usual, our coaches evaluated his performance (talent does not always equal performance) and used him accordingly. By all accounts he's a good kid. Feel bad for him. Good assessment. And yes, I feel bad for h...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence

Well, for the good of the team I hope he does come back, but even if he averages 50 a game, he will never be my favorite player because of this crap he has pulled. Having said that, I'm sure he will loose sleep over it. If he comes back and only averages 30 per game, all is forgiven. I would love t...

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...

We need to go get Grant Nelson. Now. 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. The competition will be fierce and have to think...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal

VU definitely has to deal with this NIL crap. It is a major part of getting and keeping the attention of young men in an immediate gratification world.
