Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal

I’m resigned to the fact the NIL was inevitable and I don’t think it’s all bad. I wonder, after a few years, when some of these funds showered on athletes turn out to be a bad investment. Everything is new, at the present time, and the money is pouring in. Eventually some of these contributors will ...

Re: Vanderbilt-Kentucky 3

Wow. I thought Polk might have been safe in real time. On the replay I was even more convinced he reached third before the tag was applied. I thought the same, but Corbs and the 3B umpire both had great angles and Corbs didn't argue at all. Polk certainly looked safe to me! It seems as if Corbs is ...

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

247 shows he enrolled at Campbell, yesterday, which is quite confusing! It also shows he committed to Campbell and signed with them yesterday. I believe 247 is as confused as I am unless he decided to stay put??? This is what I was referring to….it says April 26, 2023! https://247sports.com/Player/...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal

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...

Wright and QMB are both graduates, so they are alums via any definition.

Re: First Poll Out

VU slips to #8 in D1 poll.......I would have voted them somewhere between 10-20. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1/rpi Note that this is the RPI. D1 only dropped Vandy to 5th in their voter poll. Uk’s RPI doesn’t make sense…..LSU is the only ranked team they have played when this rating cam...

Re: Vandy-Tennessee game 2

Moore plays 2nd base and was trying to field a pop-up in short right field. Troy LaNeve was on first when McKenzie hit the fly ball and LaNeve was between 1st and 2nd …. He was running back to first when the ball was caught. ut’s pitcher was covering 1st and LaNeve’s momentum caused him to bump into...

Re: Dangerous midweek matchup tonight

My concern is that our game #1 and game #2 pitchers are both rusty, if they’re even available! I hope we get performances from Riley and Ginther like we did last week.

Re: Update on Pistons' job search from ESPN's Woj

Another factor to consider in this situation is that he assembled quite a staff after taking this job. How many of them would be hung out to dry if he left? Most of them accompanied him to VU because they believed in him and if he left, would all of them have jobs elsewhere? This is his posse and I ...

It’s baseball…SC had a lot of “seeing eye” hits, but the homers killed us! Saturday is a new day….maybe more of the same, but we start 0-0!

Re: Legitimate concerns

Bigger problem to me is the overall focus away from any real team loyalty among players. The NCAA has chosen money over everything else. As have coaches and players. College sports have finally acquiesced-officially. And the rich will get richer-the rest will decline and eventually fold their progr...

Re: Jason Rivera-Torres commits to Vandy

The most impressive fact about this young man is that he grew from 6’6” at the beginning of the article to 6’7” at the end. He must have noticed we need help in the post….maybe he’ll be 6’11” when he reaches campus!!

Re: UT's Justine Pissott in Portal

We definitely should go after her….you can’t teach someone to be 6’3”! Was rated #11 coming out of high school…..didn’t get to see much action. I don’t understand Harper’s difficulty in recruiting and keeping players….maybe it’s bad chemistry.

Re: Legitimate concerns

If he's in the running for an NBA job that he would accept, what could he possibly say publicly? He is a credible guy. He can't say that he's not interested because if he jumps ship, then he will have mislead recruits and the fan base. If he says that he is interested, he would be hurting his chanc...

Re: Caution: we're now entering the second big transfer portal season for 2023

Langham was a highly recruited player coming out of high school and actually played one year at Florida before transferring to VU. Although he saw a lot of playing time, the results were not what one would expect from a 4-star. He deserves a lot of credit for hanging in, a good student getting his d...
