Going up

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.

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.

Starts Sunday night at 6. I'll try to give some thoughts between now and then but am currently at my daughter's lacrosse tournament in Chattanooga and won't be back until Sunday evening.

Vandy has announced that Mabel Cummins will be added to the coaching staff of the bowling team. If you are not familiar with this recently graduated athlete, I urge you to go to the Vandy website to read about this amazing young lady. I cannot imagine this hire as being anything but a huge plus for VU for the next several years----for the bowling team, the athletic department and the university as a whole.

I saw this opinion piece on cnn.

Obviously it is someone very upset about the supreme court decision.

I am in no way arguing for or against that decision.

I thought the idea was interesting. Could sports admissions be considered a quota based system (for a certain number of students) and not allowed?

I thought it was interesting.

Gets an initial 5.6 3 star rating from Rivals.

Vandy currently has 21 commitments in their 2024 recruiting class, here is a state breakdown:

Texas - 5 (Harrison Moore, Tristen Brown, Johann Cardenas, Alvin Williamson, Jr., Dontae Carter)
Tennessee - 5 (Glenn Seabrooks, Jaren Sensabaugh, Markeis Barrett, Whitt Muschamp, Jeremy St-Hilaire)
Florida - 4 (Guylijah Theodule, Joshua Raymond, Mason Carter, Callahan Blair)
Georgia - 2 (Simeon Boulware, Martreece Dillard)
Ohio - 1 (Dorian Williams)
Maryland - 1 (Brycen Coleman)
Massachusetts - 1 (CJ Williams)
Louisiana - 1 (Tate Hamby)
Arkansas - 1 (Joseph McVay)

For comparison, Vandy had the same amount of commits from Texas and six in-state pledges in their 2023 class. Also, interesting that Alabama is not represented in this class so far.

Gordon Sargent was invited to play as an amateur in this week’s PGA tournament, The John Deere Classic. He made the cut at -5 while three other former Vandy pro golfers Snedeker -1 , Schwab +4 and Gordon +6 missed the cut. He is -7 at the end of three rounds and the final round begins at 8:30am this morning.

I always felt that Fitz was a Neanderthal and this hazing incident just solidifies it. That piece of crap needs to be fired and I hope Northwestern football program gets destroyed with transfers and decommits in the next six months.
