From the Arkansas Rivals site. Y’all think we’re gonna finish last lol? Also, Collin Smith isn’t a bench player. What an unserious effort!

Starts tonight and runs through tomorrow night. Highlight games from the past years. Looks like a pretty good lineup.


Vanderbilt's network takeover will begin at midnight ET on Friday with the men’s basketball victory over Kentucky in the SEC Tournament and will conclude at 9 p.m. ET with the baseball team’s SEC championship win over Texas A&M. The Commodores will also feature games from their football, bowling, women’s basketball and soccer teams throughout the day.

The Commodores jumped into the mix for in-state wide receiver target Donovan Higgins, an intriguing recruit out of Pearl-Cohn (Tenn.) in the class of 2025.

The 6-foot-0, 183-pound wide receiver out of Nashville, TN. sat down with VandySportsDotCom to go in-depth on his interest in the Commodores, revealing how it felt to pick up his first D1 offer from an SEC program.

"It feels kind of surreal to be honest," Higgins said. "I thought my first offer would be from a school like Bethel or UT-Martin. I wasn't expecting my first offer to be from a SEC school. The Commodores have been involved in my recruitment since June 14th."

Higgins said that he connected with Vanderbilt assistant coach and receivers coach Alex Bailey and liked all of the new techniques he taught.

"I talked to the receivers coach," Higgins said. "And I liked the new techniques he taught me, like how to track deep balls and how to cut on different routes."

Higgins said that he's eager to learn more about the Commodores' program and his planning on stopping by West End for a visit sometime in the future. He added that he's in the process of getting something set up with Vanderbilt and has no other visits scheduled.

"I'm excited to learn more about the Commodores' program," Higgins said. "I'm also very open to learning about other programs as well. I do plan on stopping by for a visit soon."

In addition to the opportunity from Vanderbilt, Higgins has also collected an offer from Tennessee.

@Chris Lee have you heard anything about this? Saw on a UT message board fans saying they heard Burns is transfering to a school that will upset a lot of vol fans. Also heard rumors from people I know about this.

per school in the top 10 going into the draft making it to campus (per perfect game).

UCLA - 10 (6 top 100)
Arkansas - 7 (all top 100)
Vandy - 7
Florida - 7
Bama - 6
Auburn, Miss St, UNC, GT - 4
OM - 2

Looking at which committed players signed and will not become a Vandyboy is educational. The top 200 rated high school prospects rated by Perfeck Game appear to be at most risk. The Vandy signees were rated as follows;
Clark #2
White #5
Lombard #16
Clemmey #24
Holcomb #38
McElvain #49
Kozeal #115
Hamilton #139
Kranzler #140
Schulz #198
The top four signees, all top 25, appear to be very difficult to get thru the draft and this year all appear lost. The next 25 are at risk of being signed and we were lucky to get them thru. The remaining prospects from 50 to 200 can be taken by a particular team if it has enough money saved on the higher picks and can talk the player into skip college.

Watching to see if Bulger or commits like McElvain go off the board.

Usually the GM will call the player after being drafted but EBJr is not just fast on the field as he immediately called the Orioles GM after being drafted.

The Commodores jumped into the mix for Chase Sutton, an intriguing in-state cornerback target out of St. George's (Tenn.) that added an offer from Vanderbilt to his resume this past May.

The 6-foot-0, 160-pound recruit out of Collierville, TN. sat down with VandySportsDotCom to detail his interest in Vanderbilt, revealing how long the Commodores have been involved in his recruitment.

"It feels great, never thought I would get an opportunity like this," Sutton said. "They have been in my recruitment since about mid-May."

Sutton said that he connected with Vanderbilt assistant coach and defensive ends coach Jovan Haye and liked how genuine he was and how he lives the game.

"It was Coach Jovan Haye," Sutton said. "He was a genuine person and was told you have to live the game if you want to succeed."

Sutton said that he's excited to learn more about the Commodores' program and is planning on stopping by West End for a visit as soon as he's contacted by the staff. He added that he has no other visits scheduled at the moment.

"I'm very excited to learn more," Sutton said. "Definitely planning on stopping by for a visit when a coach reaches out to me about coming."

In addition to the offer from Vanderbilt, Sutton has also collected opportunities from several other schools.

Sutton also holds a significant P5 opportunity from West Virginia.

I look for Owen to go in Round 3, and you could see 3-4 commits go today (McElvain, Kozeal, Barczi, Holcomb) go today.

This month's concept is a premium dessert destination that is a perfect fit for a summertime franchise of the month!

• Brick and Mortar business
• Owner-Operator or Executive Ownership
• Small team /Easy labor model
• Dessert space – high margin, low shrink
• Great family business!

What concept do you think it is?

Thanks for playing!

This trumps whatever rivalries exist (or should).
P.S. I know there's very little interest* in WBB on this board, but thought this should be mentioned.
*And there's plenty of blame to spread around for that.
