A second 4-star RB, Jason Patterson of Sneads, Florida, (he's No. 275 on the ESPN 300) was on campus this weekend and evidently a bit wowed by all that he saw... Land one of these two 4-star RBs, and it would be quite a boost to the class... land both of them and... (?) https://twitter.com/JPatterso...

Look for a decision soon for Johann Cardenas, the 4-star RB from St. Thomas Catholic... he says he's narrowed it down to VU and Mizzou.

It's a worry, yes. Last year the double-tight end package with Bresnahan and Schoenwald was a big part of the offensive package. This year it's suddenly questionable whether Vandy will be able to do that at all. You do have two true freshman tight ends coming in, but they've not been fattened up yet...

Athlon goes in-depth in analyzing Vandy's roster and season... https://athlonsports.com/college-football/vanderbilt-football-commodores-prediction-preview-2023 Also, Athlon's predicted finish for the whole SEC came out about three weeks ago... https://athlonsports.com/college-football/sec-football-2...

Vandy's #EarnItEvery24 class was limping along going into June, but what a June it has been! Eight commits in June so far for 2024 (and one for 2025). Almost all of these guys were guys who either came through the camps and/or scheduled official visits. The whole staff does an outstanding job being ...

Vandy gets its second commitment for the 2025 class... Vandy already has his teammate QB Jeremy St-Hilaire committed for 2024... projects as a safety at Vandy...

Sophomore film:

How the heck did VAndy attract those guys? What is the connection that brought them here? Tight End University was organized a few years ago by Kelce, George Kittle, and Greg Olsen as a camp resource exclusively for those who play the tight end position. Vanderbilt just stepped up and volunteered t...

Vandy now has four guys in the class who project as offensive linemen... given the numbers already on the roster, I would guess that they are pretty much full at that position group, assuming everyone stays loyal. P.S. Williams is originally from Amityville, N.Y. which probably means an automatic ni...

For the second year in a row, Vandy is the host of an event Wednesday through Friday titled "Tight End University", a camp for tight ends that featured a number of famous NFL tight ends, including superstars Rob Gronkowski and Travis Kelce. Also on hand was Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen. Thi...

Quite literally maybe the biggest commit in Vanderbilt history! Had offers from Kentucky, Virginia Tech, Wake, UConn, Pitt, and a number of Ivies... 3.7 GPA... This is commitment No. 13 for 2024... eight of them have come in the month of June (camp month). The staff is doing a great job of selling t...

There is a four-star recruit from Apopka, Florida named Sincere Edwards (yes, that is his name; he had a Vandy offer among many others). Some time back, Sincere committed to Central Florida; but today he announced he was backing off his commitment and announcing a new Top Five of UCF, South Florida,...

Looks like the portal transfer-in number for 2023 will be TWO (scholarship athletes), while the transfer-out number will wind up at 12. The article barely mentions grad transfer Chris Boyle from Brown (not on scholarship), but I say, don't sleep on him. With Bresnahan and Schoenwald gone, an experie...

A football story in June from the Tennessean? And free to all to read?

Tennessean: How Vanderbilt football's transfer portal additions will make an impact in 2023

Junior stats: 21 receptions for 367 yards, 3 TDs in 10 games played. Also is quite the basketball star. Commitment list grows to twelve; seven of them have come in the month of June, and there are still 9-1/2 days left. The class is filling up after camps.

One last thing... we should all hope that Sensabaugh can convince his Ensworth teammate, 4-star 2025 DL Ethan Utley, that Vanderbilt is a great place to be! Honestly, you would think that with Roc Batten as coach at Ensworth, Vandy would be doing better at landing the top players from that school, b...

Kind of fun to see him playing against Witt Muschamp's Baylor squad! Yes, definitely a developing trend here... five of Vandy's 11 commitments are from the private school leagues of Tennessee, and four of those (I'm counting Sensabaugh) are from East Tennessee. A lot of these guys know each other a...

Also, Jaren is the son of former Dallas Cowboy and Jacksonville Jaguar DB Gerald Sensabaugh. I am told that Jaren and his dad were both acquaintances of Notre Dame transfer Prince Kollie, also from East Tennessee, and Kollie showed them both around the campus in conjunction with his camp visit. Give...
