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.

Re: James Strong named as new assistant coach

Something does not seem to quite add up. Strong graduated in 2000. 23 years ago. Yet he has not especially advanced as a coach. In no way do I question his ability as a player at Vandy. Or his dedication to Vandy, although he spent quite a few years elsewhere, for example as an assistant at Belmont...

Re: The Athletic (premium): If Vanderbilt football dropped the ‘Vanderbilt,’ no one would question the progress

I WANT to believe. I really do. But as a fan of Vandy football for 5 decades, going on 6, it’s not easy to do.

Trust the blueprint.

Re: Sam Hliboki and Troy LaNeve both reportedly returning for a 5th year

I think Hliboki has more than he showed us last year, and has something to prove. Seems to me he took a step back last year. I expect big things in 2024, most likely in long relief with an occasional mid-week start.

Re: Orlagh Gormley Receives Vandy Offer

Not that it matters, but for curiosity's sake, when a player is "offered", does that offer come from the head coach or the AD or someone else? Is it written (a text or a letter or e-mail) or can it be verbal?

His career seems to have plateaued. I think he has improved as a catcher, but his batting -- maybe gone the other direction a little for whatever reason.

Re: Schools with the most signees drafted

This looks semi-encouraging until you factor in the fact that many other SEC schools are re-loading via the portal. Last I looked Arkie and LSU each had 6 coming in via transfer, for example. Didn't look at everybody. Some may have more than that.

Re: Top remaining commits after 10 rounds

Lots of drama/excitement and a lot at stake, for the players AND for the teams, in the next few weeks. So says Captain Obvious.

Re: OT: Serious allegations against Northwestern, Pat Fitzgerald

I do not get this whole hazing culture that seems systemic between college sports and fraternities. I admit I am an old fart (72) but when I was in a fraternity and competing in college, hazing was doing pushups because you didn't know the answers to questions. There was NO hazing in my sport at VU...

That was a draft leverage play. Odds are very high (I'd even say, almost certain) that Galanie never plays for the Vols.
Good point. I hope you're right.

Re: Hyped

I'm sure every team out there thinks they have a special team bonding, a "togetherness". But I'm naive enough to think that ours is a notch above the rest. And I credit our coach for that.

Re: Chase Burns in the portal

The rumors and guesses I’ve seen on the internet mostly point to LSU as the most likely landing spot. Vandy second most likely. It certainly would be a huge get if it goes our way.

That means we're guaranteed to keep them for ..... ONE YEAR. Or until the NCAA adopts the perpetually open transfer portal (POTP).

Re: Spencer Jones

Yeah, the stolen base number is impressive for a guy his size. An overall terrific athlete. And was supposed to have as much potential as a pitcher before his injury.
