Joey Dwyer, have you heard anything on Anthony Dell’Orso?

will be wearing other uniforms next season:

and four of them could have returned. Appears three have earned or will earn VU degrees (Wright, QMB, Robbins).

Such an odd situation to have academically successful players (and athletically productive players to one degree or another) voluntarily or involuntarily leave VU with eligibility remaining.

For now at least, the satisfaction I have as a VU fan in seeing players play at VU for 3 or 4 years, end their college career at VU and graduate from VU will be more the exception than the rule.

Puts some of these things into perspective. We knew Vandy would have NIL issues. Tyrinn tried the NBA they said nope. He said, gotta provide for my daughter let's see what Vandy offer. He saw a better offer and took the money.....maybe? Makes sense to me.

Do you believe Vanderbilt should move on. Explain your answer in the comments below.

What are the NCAA presidents going to want to do about the portal and NIL when graduation rates for athletes are about 5.8% with all the losses in credits in transferring from here to there?

Presented by Sutherland & Belk, we will do it this morning.

Vanderbilt lost a close game in 12 innings on Friday night at Tennessee, which turned into two subsequent blowouts against the Vols afterwards--and all this on the heels of a mid-week blowout by Indiana State. The silver lining--it was a bloody week across the Top 25 and that may not affect the Commodores' postseason seeding much. Meanwhile, it's hard to find a silver lining for the basketball program after Tyrin Lawrence, Vanderbilt's best player, hit the transfer portal on Monday, leaving the 'Dores with a less-than-desirable roster situation in late-April.

The NCAA permits, generally, schools to sign 25 HS players per class. There are some exceptions to that rule, but that’s the general rule. And it generally comes out to 100 HS players over a 4 year rolling period.

Well Deion bringing in 70 new players through the portal and HS recruits has me thinking. The cap should also include transfers. Make it 35 players per year with 25 being HS kids and 10 being transfers. If you have a cap on HS kids signing then there should be a cap on transfers. I would even venture to say grad transfers don’t count towards the cap.

But schools building entire rosters of transfers is just wrong and something needs to be done.

Ga State over UGA 9-7
Troy over Auburn 8-7
Sam Houston over A&M 9-2
Nichols St over LSU 6-5
Missouri St over Arkansas 8-4
Louisvillle over UK 7-0

Does Stack run?

Does he stay and fight this thing out?

Are we getting 2-3 more good players in the transfer portal (we need 2 more to have a shot at being a good team)?

Are we unfairly blaming NIL and Transfer Portal era on Stack, or is this all his fault?

Is Candice Storey Lee paying attention? Is it NCAA Tournament or fired for Stack in 23-24 (year 5)?

Are Stackhouse and Lee going to remain quiet while the remaining fanbase collectively jumps out of the nearest window…

Guess he can buy the next great Vawl QB.

just saw a tweet that said Tyrin Lawrence has entered his name into the Transfer Portal.

Spent a couple of days putting this together. If you haven't subscribed to our channel there (and it costs nothing--it's like a "follow") then please help me out and do so.

Is to win 8 football games next year and play in a nice bowl game. Love hoops and baseball but the real deal is SEC football and if we can surge next season I will be less devastated by the negative aspects of these past few days.

Oh and facilities….that’s all I’ve got people.

Don't look now, but Wade continues to kick tail in the Euroleague (which is the highest competition in the world outside the NBA playoffs). In the 3rd quarter of the playoff game against Monaco (which is watchable online), he's the leading scorer in the game and has the highest PIR. As a side note, Alex Poythress, who we once recruited, is on the team, too, but not really a factor like the Vandy alum.

Graduation rate of Stack’s HS recruits.

By my count, just one of Stack’s HS recruits has graduated from Vanderbilt (Jordan Wright). Manjon will graduate, and QMB has graduated, but both of them were on their 2nd stop and couldn’t transfer elsewhere without losing a year of eligibility.

By my count there will be no seniors on the 23-24 roster who were Stack HS recruits. Both Trey Thomas and Tyrin Lawrence would have been seniors this year. Both have now transferred.

Guess Kirkland doesn’t care about stack graduating his HS croots.

Stackhouse is a great coach in some ways. You don't have a run like we did at the end of last year without a combination of x's and o's, player development, and a PhD in teenager psychology. Stackhouse took a program with Division III talent and turned it in a few years into a team that really ought to have been an NCAA team this year. I am very thankful to him for all he has done here. He helped us much more than Bryce Drew or Jan Van Breda Kolff.

But why do we have a college athletics program if not to benefit our student athletes? Other than a transfer (Manzon), and 2 or 3 freshman, we're going to have 100% turnover roster. That might work for the G League, but if the point of our team is to benefit student athletes, and no student athletes stay for a full four year degree, what is the point of a college athletics program? I am very concerned that the very psychological tactics he took to create the run this year has driven off almost the entire team. I get that Lawrence is leaving for other reasons, but everyone has some reason. Numbers are numbers.

I'm officially ready for Stack to move on. We need to sign a coach, pair him with an enormous penalty if he leaves, and let him invest in the program like Clark Lea is doing in football.

Gets the Rockets job. Many thought he was the front runner in Toronto

Evans has OV's with NC State and Vanderbilt in June. Michigan and Louisville pushing for officials as well.

If anyone needs a good laugh after this weekend and todays news

I’ll spare reposting the thread(s), but maybe next time @Chris Lee and, myself to much lesser extent, are sharing what we hear, people can not shoot the messengers. My shared information is worth two shiny pennies, but people who went after Chris were crazy. A. You pay for “insider” info, sometimes that insider info is negative. Just because it’s negative doesn’t mean it’s false. B. You look like an ass when it plays out like was being reported.
