Official 2013 Recruiting Thread.

I guess if you like country music more than championships Vanderbilt is the better choice.

Vandy after GT commit - JuMichael Ramos, Travis Custis, Shamire Devine and Chris Griffin.

I detest that man known as James Franklin. Good to know our recruits have SEC speed though.

It's pretty sad when GT fans are worried about freakin' Vandy stealing recruits.

2014 guy - I'm sure more offers and initial rankings will come.

Rushing 1359 yds 10TDs
KOR 5TDs
Defense 42 Tackles

Pretty good look at a JR. Season

But all he has to do is flash his SEC badge and his swoosh at these guys and they will bow at his feet. Isn't that how it works with "these kids today?"

To be fair, wasn't he a Vandy commit first that GT "stole" only to have him change his mind again later?

Ok then, Jay Woods says Hi.

Vandy has the #17 class this year according to both Rivals and Scout. James Franklin can sell and if he is coming after one of our recruits we should take notice.

If a Vandy coach wins, he will not be there long. If he loses, same thing. Recruits will not see him after a couple of years IMHO.

Good point. Hard to imagine Franklin is the type of guy who would stay put if a better SEC job opened up. Anyone think he has love for Vanderbilt? I'm sure he'd tell you he does.

Franklin's not stupid. Any coach who manages to win at Vandy (and there have been few) will use that success for a big payday somewhere else. While Franklin has made a lot of improvements to the program, Vandy will never have an SEC stadium and fan base. People with big egos like him need bigger and better things.

Missed a heck of a basketball game. Looks like he is visiting Ole Miss the next day. Hope we can seal the deal.

Don't waste your time getting your hopes up for this kid. He's probably going to pick Ohio State....

plus, we already have like 6 billion A-backs on our roster

Trey Johnson was never really seriously in the mix in the first place

Apparently dude had some super secret (not really) visit to TN this weekend. Since it's 2013 folks found out about it, he denied it, his father confirmed it.

Urban supposedly has an offer-pulling policy like CPJ so this could get interesting.

Check out post #544 here for espn snippet:

[BuzzCzar]

yeah, i read some other rumors that he has been a silent for TN for about a week

 

[olgoldandwhite]

With the mess that is Tennesse, why would any top recruit go there. Odds are he will not graduate with the coach that signs him.
