More from Jamin Brown, who was in town last week for a spring practice and picked up an offer from the Commodores. Was committed to Baylor, but recently backed off his pledge.

Wow, boys…

We are deep and long.

I’m honestly worried about losing players now.

We have 7 guys who could/ should start:

Huffman
Edwards
Manon
Nickel
McGlockton
VAL
Carey

If I had to guess, Manjon is the 6th man and Carey is the 7th man but OMG, we are stacked.

If you are planning to attend any or all of the games this weekend to watch the VandyBoys sweep Miss. St., as a hardcore Vandy fan, I hereby give you permission to wear your Predators gear to Hawkins Field. Yes, it's that time of year again when the city of Nashville turns "Smashville Gold". So, as Vandy fans. let's do our part. Because as everyone knows----It's Good to be Gold!. Let's Go Preds!

and this run of basketball transfer recruiting is probably one of the five most stunning (good or bad) things I've covered.

I'm floored at what they're doing.

@Chris Lee and others, I see that you are saying this is the most amazing 2 week stretch in a long time for hoops.

I dont understand the excitement--I see that we got the 70th ranked transfer (Edwards), the 196th ranked transfer (Manon), The 250th ranked transfer (MCGlockton), 283th (Huffman), and 290th (Collins).

Losing Lawrence, Colin, and JRT are basically a wash here. I know we also got the JMU transfer. Why is this so earth shattering? It seems like this will still put our team (on paper) as bottom 10% in the SEC, right? Why is there such excitement?

I get that maybe these kids are misranked, maybe they will outperform, etc. I also get that the program was in a total state of disarray, but this just doesnt seem like that big of a deal. What am i missing?

Edit: down to 2 tonight

And now we get to look forward to the inevitable “Manon is a man on fire!” call the first time he heats up

I heard some players were meeting with CCL and being ushered out

I saw on local news (Nashville) this morning that JD has been suspended 4 games. Anyone else?

Just got off the phone with Jason Edwards. You guys will love his edge and what he had to say. Can't say I've spoken to a player with as much confidence in himself as Edwards has.

Preview:
"My competitive spirit is as high as ever. I don't know if I just hate to lose or love to win but I'm out there trying to win. I'm fighting all game. I'm fighting for 40 minutes. 45 if we going into overtime. I think that I'm an electric scorer. I feel like I'm real dynamic, that's probably the most basketball used term with me. I'm dynamic. I guard, I shoot at a high clip, I score at a high clip, I can score at all three levels. I'm just a leader. You'll just see for me out there we're never gonna have a dull moment. We never gonna have a moment where we're apart, where we don't play as a team. Everybody is gonna be locked in because we know we need everybody on the team, we need managers. We need everybody to be at their best to be the Sweet 16 team that we're trying to be."

Aggies 1, Arkansas 2, TN 3, Kentucky 4.

VU up 2 spots to 11.

And that is going to be fun. We are not winning 2-3 football games next year…we will double that (I think we will add some more pieces in the portal and our coaching has made the same leap as hoops. Basketball…we will be playing for something in early March.
