Re: Per the Draft Tracker
There’s got to be a way to handle this whole commit/draft/sign process that treats the colleges more fairly. That's not really MLB's problem, and I think the 3 year wait if they don't sign out of high school is a huge gift to the colleges. The way it is set up now, if your recruits are drafted in t...

Re: MLB draft
George Lombard first round #26 to the yankees. That's 2 recruits, plus Bradfield so far One of the commentators said White will be a tough sign since he had committed to Vanderbilt. I'll cross my fingers, but he is probably not turning down $2.42 million. You never know. Adjusting for inflation, Ty...

Re: Chase Burns in the portal
Not sure why he would go to TCU. If Vanderbilt was to pick up only one more transfer, I would prefer Cannon Peebles, the freshman catcher from NC State. I think we could use more help on the offensive side, especially at the catcher and the outfield positions.

Re: Chase Burns in the portal
I am just glad he is leaving UT because he is a good pitcher and that loss hurts their team. I don't know what was going on behind the scenes, but on the surface, this appears to be a rather surprising move. I heard Vitello say that they have known about this for a while (not sure how long that is),...

Re: NAME THE MID-MAJOR....
I don't see any need in kicking a man while he is down. It didn't work out for him at Vanderbilt, but I wish him nothing but the best unless he is playing Vanderbilt. He probably won't be invited back to LSU next year, but I wouldn't be completely shocked if someone took a flyer on him late in the d...

So who is everyone pulling for.....
We are left with Florida, TCU, Wake Forest and LSU. Who is everyone pulling for? I am trying to think what might be better for the Vanderbilt program in the long run, and I am not sure what that would be. Perhaps Wake Forest because this seems more like a one-time fluke for them and they would not b...

Re: Poor, poor tennessee
I am always glad to see UT lose, but I don't feel like gloating too much about it when we got eliminated in the Regionals.

Re: Blown opp
Losing 3 pitchers was our problem: it is that simple. Very unfortunate luck. The injury bug really bites. I don't think Owen was his usual self, and in hindsight, pitching Ginther after he was held out of the SEC tourney was probably a mistake. Based upon what I saw in the Super Regional, Oregon wo...

Re: Next year's roster
I think there are over 2,000 players in the portal. Have we heard anything about any Vandy players transferring out? That could have a big impact on the roster next year as well. I saw several former Vandy players playing for other teams in the tournament this year.

Re: SECT
Is it possible Vitello threw the game to rest for the NCAA's? Wouldn't really surprise me. Not a lot of integrity in that dugout. Not a lot of integrity, but the way you throw away a game is with pitching. You don't tell you hitters not to hit, which is what happened to them today (1 hit). Hopefull...

Re: Dores 2023 MVP
Schreck without hesitaation. He was, as stated, consistent all year at both the plate and in the field. Schreck has been in a prolonged slump. On May 2, he was hitting .364. He is now hitting .324, going 5 for 34 (.147) in the month of May. We really need him to break out of that slump during the p...

Re: BS ALL SEC team
EBJ is a terrific player, and a unique player, but the SEC has some ungodly good outfielders and competition is fierce. If you bump EBJ to first team, who do you drop down: Crews, Petry, or Langford? We will see how it goes in the draft. Right now, it looks like Crews and Langford will be Top 5 pic...

Re: Wow! Alabama fires Brad Bohannon
It sounds like this may be related to the suspicious betting activity on Alabama's games with LSU last week. It could be a major coincidence, but that seems doubtful. They must have something on him to take that kind of swift action. https://www.al.com/alabama/2023/05/alabama-firing-baseball-coach-b...

Re: Vanderbilt Education
I went to Vanderbilt in the 1980s and am convinced that both me and about 4/5 of the friends I had then would not have gotten into the university today. Also, my son had a higher ACT score (33) than I did and a much higher GPA than I did, but there was no way he was going to get in, because he wasn...

Re: Vanderbilt-Michigan NIT Thread
Obviously Stackhouse knows what he is doing, but I really didn't understand having Thomas in over Smith so much down the stretch. Michigan was in the zone, and Smith had been our best outside shooter. Also, Thomas' size was a huge liability on defense. However, we got the win, so Stack pushed the ri...

Re: Ron Slay
I have loathed Ron Slay ever since his team on the early 00's ut teams with Tony Harris (who I already hated from his time at East HS beating my HS at sub-state). He was a loudmouth, he was arrogant without being able to back it up on the court, he played dirty, and some of my favorite moments from...

Re: Something I have never Understood About NCAA Tournament
The reasoning is that they are having the bottom 4 At-large seeds play in the 11 games, and the bottom 4 automatic bids play in the 16 games. May not make sense, but that is why they do it.

I think his offensive shooting woes was really affecting his entire game, and he became a liability down the stretch. I kept pulling for him to break out of ...

Re: Down goes Miss State
And, just like 10 days ago, Vanderbilt wins and Miss State loses. Good. Maybe that's why they were 8-10 in the SEC. Totally agree. Now if Auburn and Arkansas will just lose, I think we can feel somewhat vindicated. Oh, and KY too. I don't think that Miss State missing a tip in at the buzzer against...
