OFFICIAL VandyMania Signing Day thread

He goes by Junior, but some people call him "Maureice"... no word on if he speaks with the "pompatous of love" or not.

You can also call him Mr. Football (Tennessee II-AA).

Barton Simmons compares him to Deebo Samuel.

And I keep going back to Trent Dilfer's response when they asked him if he had a name for his offense. "I call it 'get the ball to the dude', and Junior is a dude."

Welcome to all these young men who have committed to this great University. They have been blessed with this opportunity and we are blessed to have them. 6-6 and a bowl in 2023! Good work coaching staff!

Dante "The Reaper" Kelly is from Itta Bena, Miss... look for him to play the Anchor position on defense played by another Mississippian, De'Rickey Wright.

"From the first time I met Dante, I knew Vanderbilt was home for him. He has all the tools to become a versatile presence on our defense, and it can't happen soon enough!" says Coach Lea.

"I don’t think anyone realizes how good this kid is going to be. Three-sport athlete, two-way player, top tier athleticism and outstanding mindset and demeanor," says Barton Simmons.

It's hard to watch Sedrick Alexander's senior film, watch him running by player after player and score TD after TD, and not get excited...

He is the all-time leading rusher in Austin ISD history. Also, Barton Simmons reports that he will be enrolling early.

[VandyManners]

Who else are we waiting on? I know we are waiting on Pimpton. Anyone else?

[BrentVU]

OK, little lull here... I think we may be done, except for Pimpton.

QB Brennan Storer of Dallas committed the other day, but he may either be greyshirting or walking on, not sure.

Lea talks with Clint Cosgrove of Rivals.com about his class...

Looks like a very good class. There are some real gems included in today's signing!!! Looking forward to seeing them on the field next year!

[BrentVU]

Brock Taylor of Knoxville-Catholic signing early on Wednesday...

[Seadog73]

1. De'Rickey is from Alabama, not Mississippi - Brent probably thought Mississippi because that is where he first committed.

2. 247 Sports still shows Pimpton committed to VU, FWIW.

[BrentVU]

Vandy hit the state of Texas hard in the last full week of recruiting, and it paid off... five of the 20 signees in the class so far are from Texas. That doesn't count QB Brennan Storer of Dallas, or (all are still hoping) Ka'Morreun Pimpton of Fort Worth!

OK, little lull here... I think we may be done, except for Pimpton.

QB Brennan Storer of Dallas committed the other day, but he may either be greyshirting or walking on, not sure.

247 shows him signed. Wonder if that is a mistake.

[BrentVU]

Jailen Ruth, 6-3 195 (some services list him as 6-4 215) linebacker from Hawthorne, Fla. is signee No. 21 (school has now confirmed his signing)..

Had been committed to Washington State but de-committed, made a visit to Vandy last weekend and chose the Dores over WSU and USF.

Wow, have we turned the corner??????

[VandyD]

They were wrong Pimpton signed with LSU.

[BrentVU]

They were wrong Pimpton signed with LSU.

You are correct... he's evidently signed with the Bayou Bengals. Left Vandy in the lurch after six months of being committed.
