For the general undergraduate population transfer decisions for the University begin in late April. Vanderbilt being Vanderbilt, I would be surprised if anything official comes through until May. However, I hope the athletic department is working with admissions to give unofficial assurances to potential transfers regarding admission status.

One source I have not seen mentioned is Ivy League graduates. The Ivy League limits players to 4 years eligibility. No redshirt year; no covid year.

Princeton, Yale, Harvard and Penn all have some good players, although not in sufficient number to successfully compete in the SEC. Some might graduate this year and seek a graduate program. We saw what Princeton did in the NCAA's.

IDK, but I'm tired of waiting for good news. We ought to be more attractive to a transfer this year than at any other time.

We're actually in the hunt for several Ivy transfers, most of whom are grad transfers.

And possibly another Big Ten 7-footer. And possibly a super-promising 7-footer you never heard about that you will do summersaults and backflips over if we get him. (He owns the glass!!)

Whoa. Summersaults and backflips!!. Yikes and ouch. I never ever could do a backflip. If I tried either at my age there would be a serious risk of serious injury. Maybe a different phrase would work better for us older folks (old goats, old farts, whatever we can be called). However, I do look forward to having someone to look up to wearing black and gold.

MrM, please keep us updated, you seem to have a line into command central. I recognize that rumors are just that. But aren’t they the lifeblood of sites like this. The 7-footer stuff is by far the best rumor I’ve seen in some time. Thanks

Is this possibly the same 7 footer that played at Memorial a few weeks ago?

Interesting transfer from Wyoming, too.

Going on news linked sites only, neither the player from Wyoming nor the one from Marshall showed us in their final list.

The more they tell in public, the less "inside" the info is. The people who really know will not spill the beans.

Unless they're trying to sabotage the move, I guess.
