I like the team, OL better than most realize. Skill (WR/TE) is NICE. Filling holes on defense, but talent + size is there.

Another mess up by the

system that is in place to supposedly protect athletes instead they take sides. Coaching change. No accommodations. No chance to play. What a joke
Incredibly disappointed in the

for denying my waiver today. Another case of the NCAA trying to save face and not caring about student-athletes.
For 3 reasons:
1: I have Learning Disabilities and accommodations/evaluations were not made available to me at Colorado. My
Vandy reloading the trenches and secondary so far. OL got bigger w/ deep class. W a lot of skill and QB returning Coach Lea is going to have solid base to work with.
I lift at a primarily baseball gym my friend owns (juco/hs/college). No AC, in tougher area of Houston. Just walking in w my old Vandy football bag turns these kids heads. Fully starstruck. I guess I’m naive coming from the football side, but man what brand power

NIL= massive positive change. But, very easy to turn into a massive distraction.
For the majority of D1 athletes the best allocation of time will still be spent perfecting their craft on the field and court, while building a network.
The main thing has to stay the main thing.
Wow. Proud of Vanderbilt.
$300 million investment into complete facility upgrades. Huge for fans, alums, current and future Student-athletes. FB & Bball getting new standalone facilities w/ a new indoor.

Harper spent 2023 as an assistant director of player personnel at Alabama after previously working at Houston and Colorado.
As a HS freshman a rival school coach told me
“Basketball may be your first love, but football will love you back”
S/o all the 6’5” PF’s. He ended up being right. Full scholly
To the HS football athletes that signed today:
Enjoy your day. U earned it. Only 1% make it.
Throw the stars & attention out the window. They mean nothing. New journey begins now. Work like it.
Welcome to the show. Grab everything u can bc its gone before u know it.
Ready to see

Former Northwestern wing Miller Kopp, one of the best shooters in the NCAA transfer portal, told ESPN that he has committed to play at Indiana next season.
Really hope

Total mindset shift from wearing late nights and no sleep as a badge of honor.

A lot of people talk about how your life can change in 1 year. And it can. However, my focus is 10 years from now. Most don't play the long game.
Takes consistency and a Vision.
