yeah we are in on some elite guys but losing L3 to Vandy hurts like hell. To Vandy of all teams.

Now you can hear all the talk from the one Vandy football that goes to their games. Hahahaha

SN: two-three high level recruits won't save the day for Vandy. That QB won't have fun running for life week in and week out.

Lynx, the rumor is that L3 is a silent to Vandy. I still think he won't stick though. If the kid goes to watch a game he will be highly disappointed.

I don't think he will stick with Vanderbilt if he does commit soon. I don't envision Vandy having a very successful season at all.

comments have no merit since we just closed with a top 20 class and yet we went 5-7, they should be after playing time.

Guys like Aaron Curry, Luke Keuchly and recently vanderbilt picks like DJ Moore and Myron Lewis are reasons kids stay with programs. Sometimes it is about championship experiences but to me it seems some have scholastic and Pro aspirations.

With Curry and Keuchly are you talking about other guys in general? Because they aren't Vandy boys.

L3 is just one of those kids that hold a degree from Vandy or ND over football. He still gets to play in the SEC and with HS friends. If half of what I'm hearing about Vandy in Fla comes together they will land a Top 15. With all the budget talks at USF and stuff going on with UM they could be the landing spot for some solid kids out of Tampa,Dade and Jax.

HG, so what will the consequences be for this? Sorry, this is off-topic, but I just noticed it this morning. What an idiot.

I think the situations are quite different. UT normally doesn't go 5-7. Sure the last 5 years or so have been a disaster, but historically the Vols always field a pretty good team. A hell of a lot better than a 5-7 team. UT has won a NC during these recruits childhood.

Meanwhile Vanderbilt has always been awful. Most of the time, 5-7 is a dream season for Vandy.

UT has much better history, tradition, coaching, facilities, and NFL pipeline that Vandy ever has or will have.

So when UT has a bad year they can still recruit with the nation's best. Vanderbilt, while on the rise for sure, can't do that. Even in their best years they can't out recruit UT.

Enjoyed his Alabama visit this weekend. He said he liked being able to see the NC trophies and their S&C program. Will return for Alabama's A-Day later in the spring.

Times change. Just because your supposed to win, does not mean you will. Just because your supposed to lose, does not mean you will. I think alot of people just expect the losing to end with our Vols and feel it will happen as it HAS to. We have been saying that for several years now as the loses pile up. Alot of fans have felt we had a built in excuse and "noone" could have won here. I guess we will never know. If the losing continues into 2012, I am sure alot of the same fans will have excuses to point out. I hate Vandy, but they go into 2012 with alot more reason to be optimistic as to the direction they are headed. They are also doing it with less talent. Coaching means alot in college football.

As for Vonn Bell, he got his phone call and his offer. Maybe we have a chance to land him in the next 10 months. "He is dying to be a Vol, why won't the coaches offer him"???:eek:lol:
