Looks like Vanderbilt hosted Braden Pierce on an unofficial yesterday, a 7-footer from IMG Academy's post-grad team.
Doesn't appear Vandy has offered yet, but they were reportedly out to IMG a few weeks ago to see him. Pierce holds offers from NC State, Rutgers, Depaul, Seton Hall, along with a few others. Could be a late-rising guy that Vandy offers soon. Pierce is a 2023 guy that could sign in the late period.
Will take a more in-depth look at him if an offer becomes public but from the looks of it Pierce has a nice build for a 7-footer, is comfortable putting the ball on the floor, has some post game, and can step out a bit. Reminds me a bit of what I imagined Liam Robbins looked like at that stage but I imagine he is a bit more filled out, less mobile, and maybe not quite as athletic as Robbins was as a high schooler.
