Re: For those playing along at home, VU still has two remaining roster spots
Regarding QMB -- haven't grad schools completed determining who's coming in the fall by now and so informed the applicants, both athletes and non-athletes? Unless any of us know QMB personally, it seems possible to me that he *has* found a school and that the grad school *is* more important to him ...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
This is most likely about the money I see a few possibilities. Option 1: It's all about the money. Other schools can potentially offer more NIL money than we can. Option 2: It's about perception. Vandy has never been to a final 4. Vandy has not been to the elite 8 in over 50 years (thanks Jeff Gree...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Big money for athletes and VU are not a good match. Could be the end of schools like ours competing in big time college sports if that is what the model is (very quickly) evolving to. From what I've read in other posts and elsewhere, it does seem that that players like Tyrin get approached by other ...

I Absolutely Hate the Transfer Portal and the NIL
After playing and coaching the greatest game ever invented, at 62 years old I absolutely despise the NCAA and what they have done to college basketball. This Transfer portal and NIL are the worst things ever and will be the destruction of college basketball. The only reason a kid should leave school...

Re: I Absolutely Hate the Transfer Portal and the NIL
I'm with you. I hate it. During the Stallings years, there were a lot of fine young men who played for Vanderbilt for 4 years (or at least 3) who my son and I got to know at the games and basketball camps and such. I've got photos of my son with Jeff Taylor, Lance Goulborne, Festus Ezeli and John Je...

Re: High Profile Transfers
There are lots of reasons we aren’t going to be a Top 25 team every year- the NIL now being a main one.

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
yes, this is an instant gratification society we live in. No one wants to work for anything. So what I'm hearing you say is: 1. Tyrin Lawrence is unwilling to work hard on his game. He's just lazy. 2. Moving to a higher paying job so he can support his family is a character flaw. Only lazy people d...

Re: Tyrin Lawrence reportedly entering the transfer portal
Where I disagree on this is going to college is not a job, it's an education. A multi-kabillion $ entertainment industry says no, you're wrong, it's a business. Beer companies and truck companies don't pay the equivalent of a small country's GDP for advertising on the nationwide broadcast of your f...

Re: Vandy’s actual approach to NIL
On the one hand, I'm hesitant to lay the blame for the recent wave of men's basketball roster departures entirely or even in large measure upon NIL, because most of the players we've lost are either headed to schools with fewer NIL opportunities, may have unique circumstances surrounding their depar...

Re: The cycle of panic on Vandymania
What we have traded so far with this off-season is certainty for uncertainty. We will be less experienced. We seem that we will be smaller. We will need freshmen and/or transfers to make immediate impacts. We will also be well coached. With a coach whose teams get better throughout the season. And ...

Re: Last Year's Starting 5
I think Noah Shelby is a different case. He had potential and I think his father (he knows the sport) understood that some patience was going to be required, but Noah didn’t want to wait. C-USA has proven to be a pretty good basketball conference over the years. I don’t think Shelby’s transfer is a...

Re: Some Tyrin news
Loyalty's great when it runs both ways. But when coaches can run off players as soon as they find someone they think is better, it's hard to blame the players for moving on when they find a better deal. And I'm not sure you can say "free education." Legit SEC athletes have rare talent, the...
