Agree with a lot of what @NashNative615 and @baseballbros have said in other threads. Think individually you don’t mind the 6 guys moving on, but the raw amount is not necessarily ideal.
1. With QMB gone, the biggest need is far and away a starting big. A grad transfer is fine as now you can convince Dort he’ll get his 15 minutes a game this upcoming season and could potentially start the next season

2. Really need another good scorer/shooter at the 2-4 spot. Probably don’t want to be having to get 2 starters in the portal every year, but you’ve got to do it this offseason

3. The first two are positions you have to get, this one is a need but much less of a need. Think you need a sixth man wing type. I think Lewis,West, and Dort is a nice bench group, and maybe Roberts can have an Ansong like role at the 4, but they could use a 6’5 or 6’6 guy off the bench who can really shoot and defend

4 and 5. Really don’t need more impact guys beyond the first three spots. Think it would be smart to take a high schooler and maybe a transfer with multiple years of eligibility left that you like. You’re already gonna have to replace Manjon and Lawrence, you’d rather than not get only grad guys and then have to replace a bunch of guys the next year even before people who would leave in the portal

Has anyone gotten any emails or heard any murmurs about a surplus sale? I know they had it before the B&G last year and was wondering when this years would be.

Just started wondering about what positions the freshman might play in stacks system. @Joey Dwyer is Lang a 4 or 5? Is West a 1 or 2? Is Roberts a 3 or 4?

I caught up with 6-foot-8 OT Hayden Gunter about his recent Vanderbilt offer.

It's hard to lose when you have elite pitching, and that (and an elite center fielder in Enrique Bradfield Jr.) are a big reason that Vanderbilt has a nation's-longest 12-game winning streak after an 8-1 win over Western Kentucky. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich talk about what they're seeing and cite some stats that back up Vanderbilt's recent dominance.

As @JustinAngel hinted at on Monday morning, Commodores have landed a pledge from the local DT prospect.

Im planning on attending with my new post divorce girlfriend (she is a smoke show btw). Id love to meet some of you fellas if possible, the ones I havent met yet. Bear Ill spot you from a mile away since I suspect you could kick my rear end.

I'm listening to the Bill King show on the way to work.

They literally were just talking about the 7'2 Russian center from FAU transfering to Vanderbilt. They were nonchalantly talking about it like it was a done deal.

I hope so! I thought that kid was pretty damn good in the NCAAT. Can score, pass, defend, block shots, and I believe that he's just a Sophomore.

@Chris Lee and @Sean_Williams, @Joey Dwyer what are you hearing??

Not sure which is worse, the over the top taunting by Angel Reese or her explanation about why it was okay.

This will be the game thread.

In past years, athletic department surplus sales have occurred on the same day as spring football game.

I am unaware of one this year.
