OFFICIAL VandyMania Signing Day thread

[BrentVU]

Still out: Sandoval (west coast), Miles (signing later today), Sherrill, Storer,...
and Pimpton

[BrentVU]

Running back A.J. Newberry was a late addition, previously committed to Colorado under Karl Dorrell...

[VandyManners]

Pimpton has been committed for a while. Hopefully his relationship he has built with the staff will overcome a late push from LSU. LSU is a sexy pick, don't get me wrong, but hopefully Pimpton wants to be part of something different. I hope he makes the right choice.

OL Anthony Miles is signed... still waiting on Sandoval, Storer, Sherrill...
and Pimpton

[commadore]

For what it is worth, Plimpton is not listed on LSU's signee list nor it's commitment list right now.

CPA WR London Humphreys is by all accounts an underrecruited gem with speed to burn... if you subscribe to the Athletic, go back and read Grace Rayden's article on him.

[BrentVU]

Lipscomb's Junior Sherrill has signed, spurning a late offer from UAB and his HS coach Trent Dilfer.

With Sherrill and London Humphreys, Coach Alex Bailey has to be really happy today in spite of losing Kenric Lanier...

[VandyManners]

With Sherrill signing, that leaves Sandoval, Storer, and Pimpton.

Jalen Gilbert, 6-0 180 from Round Rock, Texas, along with Martel Hight, should help address the needs at DB...

[BrentVU]

Duran Parish, 5-11 170 WR from Biloxi...

[BrentVU]

New name! Keegan Wechsler, 6-3 260 OL from Frisco, Texas has signed, lifting the expected number of signees to 22! More to come on him!

[BrentVU]

Anthony Miles, OL from Birmingham, will represent Alabama in the upcoming AL-MS All-Star game...

[BrentVU]

Edge rusher Evan Herrmann from Wisconsin was a late addition, but a really exciting one...

"Evan has the speed and athletic traits to develop into a dangerous pass rusher in our league. It'll be fun watching him pressure opposing backfields over the next few years," says Coach Lea.

Barton Simmons says De'Marion Thomas weighs 330 pounds... I didn't know he was that big!

[BrentVU]

The coaches hope Brock Taylor of Knoxville Catholic is good enough to hold down both the placekicking and punting duties for the next four years, making his a two-for-one scholarship... and don't bet against it!

[BrentVU]

Misael Sandoval, hulking 6-6 315 OL from San Diego, has become today's 20th signee.

"Not many move like Misa does at his size. He's eager to get started and our entire staff is thrilled he’s chosen Vanderbilt to call home," says Clark Lea.

RB Jordan "JTrain" Louie put on a North Carolina ball cap at his ceremony at Meadowcreek High... over WVU, Vandy, and Georgia Tech.

No biggie.... Vandy has three good RBs in this class! Louie would merely have been icing.

[BrentVU]

Aeneas DiCosmo, a 6-2 250 DE from Stanford, has tweeted a photo of himself as "committed" to Vandy... he should have two years left. D-line needs all the help it can get.

[BrentVU]

Mike Wright tweets: "Brings a smile to my face watching all of these recruits sign. Truly an exciting day for young men across the country. If you didn’t sign today, do not get down or lose confidence. I can name a hundred All-Americans who didn’t sign early."

[BrentVU]

Vandy's evidently doing the billboard thing again this year.
