Im gonna laugh when Feb rolls around and Kimbrow is NOT on Vandy's team. Unless he has a crappy Sr year and no big schools no longer want him. I'm good with the guys we have now and the two bruisers that have committed!!

Yeah it was very embarassing that kimbrow slipped by and very stupid on his part. Franklin is just blowing smoke and he's a fool if he thinks Vandy can compete

I'm not sure Kimbrow "slipped by". I'm sure our staff knew about him, and I seriously doubt they lost a recruiting "battle" with Vandy.

If you read into what Dooley was saying at Media Days, it seems the staff wasn't too high on him. No doubt he's a good player; Dooley and staff likely determined that they simply didn't need him.

It is not as difficult as A&S or Engineering. The H&OD major is the softest at Vandy in any school (I really don't know anything about Blair.) But there is still a fairly demanding core, real upper level classes, and the people who graduate from it are educated. It is, again, consistently ranked the top college of education in America.

You aren't going to go to Peabody, learn a bunch of stuff you should have in high school, fill up on bowling electives, and graduate. It is still orders of magnitude tougher than the general studies and library science degrees offered by many state institutions.

Qualifications are the same for all SEC schools. Dont think VU has made it any tougher for the athletes.

NCAA qualifications are the same. VU's own standards are higher.

Due to a more competitive admission, Vanderbilt may actually have to make MORE exceptions than schools like the Miss schools who more-or-less admit anyone with a diploma.

It's all subjective anyway: does a student get in because of outstanding accomplishments (in athletics) or were they simply granted admission? No school uses only grades for criteria. Wealthy family? Dad is a surgeon at the hospital? Gifted in music or art but not in grades?

Other than the faux Ron Mercer rejection I can't ever recall a case where an athlete qualified but was denied admission to vanderbilt.

How many cases do you know where Vandy admitted a guy who didn't qualify?

It happens every year at UT and most other schools.

I would say their graduation rate means, subjective or not, that surgeon dad and idiot savant theories aren't really a big part of it, either.

I know everyone hates kimbrow now, but to say devrin young is better. When we offered DY everyone on here had a fit, 90% said he was garbage, what changed? Kimbrow is rated better has a lot better offers. We don't really need him, but to say DY is better is a joke.

This is my first thread ever on here. Glad to see so many responses. I was just curious about the admissions and would really have liked to get this kid on our team. I know he chose Vandy and the education they have there, I can't hold it against him. Hope he succeeds at whatever. Just really would have liked to of had him in orange and white. I am pretty sure though that the admissions are different at each school. Dooley even spoke on it in one of his interviews recently about Slives comments on making them tougher as a base line and that some schools would still be tougher than the NCAA standards. Pretty sure Vandy's is tougher. Thanks for the input guys and go VOLS!

Also, there are so many good RB out there, I trust Dooley more than any coach we have had in awhile to get good hard working kids that want to play and be good students as well. Ones that stay in school and stay out of trouble.
