4 star QB Carta Samuels, 4 star rB Wilbon, and 3 star OL Grainer
More to come. I think Sawyers will bolt.

Wow. Interesting to see how they do with Franklin taking most of his staff to Beaver Valley (or whatever that place is called). I have to say...with Franklin leaving and bammer shooting itself in the foot, this is one of the best offseason weeks for the Vols in quite some time.  |

I know we're after Sawyers. Anyone else we might be interested in?

Certainly we'd be interested in 4 star DB Emmannuel Smith |

It's funny... the last few years is the pinnacle for Vandy and the lowest of the low for us. I hope their fans realize this someday soon.

Won't take long for all 5 of them to figure it out. |

Seldom is a coach bigger than the program itself, but that was the case with Franklin at Vandy, even no longer than he had been there. He's a very good coach. Now we'll see if the extent of his talents is building programs from ashes or taking an already elite program to the pinnacle. Hopefully it's the former because I can't stomach the prick.
No way does Vandy's success sustain itself. Who they hire isn't gonna matter, unless they hit another home run hire like they did with Franklin. Even then, though, it's gonna be a short-termer until they develop a fan base. And if Franklin couldn't develop a fan base, I'm not sure what it's gonna take to do that.

Up to 9 decommitments now, and two have flipped to Penn state. I would say I feel sorry for Vandy...but I don't.

It's open season for Vandy's recruits and I'm sure the wolves are going to hunt! Good hunting to the Vols for nay talent they can get from Vandy.

Franklin is showing his true colors no matter how many games he won at Vandy. He is a total scum bucket since he said at a Vandy Recruiting party two years ago: It was less than two years ago that Franklin stood before a signing-day crowd supporters at Vanderbilt’s Student Life Center and said players who decommitted from his program were not “men of honor” and “men of integrity.” - Tennessean Article on 2014 Recruiting decommitmentsNow Franklin has offered at least 8 or 9 recruits from Vandy's current class and two have already accepted the offer to PSU. So its only ok if Franklin gets kids to decommit and accept a scholarship to his current roosting place? Franklin is showing that he is no better than Ed "YawYawYawFootball" Ogeron..... |

I haven't been following that closely, and Rivals still doesn't show it (are they slow to react?), but I saw a comment from one of their fans on MrSEC that said they were down to 3 commits in this class. Is that true?  |
