Headlines include Lone Stars, In-State Haul, Pass-Catchers Galore, Secondary Success, Commits by State, and What's Left as I summarize the top storylines for Vandy's 2024 class at this point.

What do you all think of Vanderbilt's 2024 recruiting class so far?

Dematha forward Malcolm Thomas will take a visit to Vanderbilt "in the near future," he tells me.

6-foot-8 forward who is a tremendous athlete and has developed a bit of a mid range game. Stackhouse watched him at Peach Jam recently.

Committed to the VandyBoys yesterday. Anyone know anything about him?

What VU football player later became a male strip club dancer?

“I Hit For 15”

Who can first tell what that signified

The Karris Bilal interview in podcast form. This was pre Tyler Tanner commitment obviously.

Took June officials to Houston, Iowa State and Vandy. I’m sure he’ll make his decision soon. It’s kind of a thing now for kids to release tops schools before committing.

Looks like he isn’t signing and is planning on imploding, I mean pitching, for LSU again next year.

Let’s go get him. This one makes a ton of sense for both parties.

They do one a day. Someone started this in April and sold it to Baseball Reference this week.

Applications Open for Commodore Fan CouncilChance for Vandy fans to provide feedback, suggestions to athletic department

Online: https://vucommodores.com/applications-open-for-commodore-fan-council/

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Supporters of Vanderbilt Athletics have an opportunity to contribute to the direction of the department by submitting an application to join the Commodore Fan Council.

A group that represents the “voice of the fan,” council members participate in quarterly meetings with members of the athletics staff to provide feedback and suggestions, in particular the focus areas of stakeholder engagement and fan experience.

Any Vanderbilt fans interested in participating in the process are encouraged to submit an application by July 28.

- As most of you know by now, the Chase Burns ship sailed as he went to Wake.
- Also not a surprise if you've followed this year, but I'm told Vanderbilt will be a player for Stanford OF Braden Montgomery. He's a two-way guy and a potential top-10 pick in next year's draft, though the pitching part didn't go well for him this year.
- I had referenced another potential portal player; got the name on the condition I'd keep that to myself but that ship is probably going to sail for nothing having to do with Vanderbilt.
- Their activity in the portal is generally clandestine so I wouldn't rule out them being involved in other guys where few know.

That's not a huge update but wanted everyone to have the courtesy of knowing what I know at the moment.

I'll do this sometime this weekend.

I took a look at the Nashville permit site this morning and have a few updates. The visiting football locker room officially received its permit about a month ago. I have the set of drawings if anyone is interested.

I still can’t find the drawings for the South Endzone but I know it’s in for permit as I found one overall plan sheet that has a submittal date of 1/27 for the permit set on the title block. To me that means the city is still reviewing and making comments. I believe they are doing the same thing as they did for the basketball facility and that is getting an early foundation permit before a building permit.

I don’t think the basketball facility has obtained its above ground permit yet but that isn’t a cause for concern as the foundations will take awhile.

I think construction on the “power plant” is going to start soon as well as I found a permit for the job trailer.
