From VM
Surprise
It's an Insider's article so I won't post all of it, but Vanderbilt and Mason was included in the predictions.
It says this:
This will be Mason's only bad Vanderbilt class
New Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason was asked to do the impossible. He was given less than two weeks to turn around a Vandy class that was devastated by the departure of now-Penn State coach James Franklin. A highly rated class just wasn't going to happen. But Commodores fans should take comfort in knowing this will be the worst class Mason signs while he's in Nashville. He has a tremendous eye for talent and knows how to target kids of a higher academic standard. So watch for things to turn around with the 2015 class.
Virginia Slims Moment
5 years ago, we wouldn't even be mentioned in an ESPN Insider analysis like this. No one would have cared if our new coach would be getting his worst recruiting class of his future tenure at Vandy.
We have come a loooooooong way.
Put down the crack pipe
How old is this?
Calling this a 'bad' class might have been warranted last week. Now with all the recent flurry of activity, with some very highly regarded recruits coming on board, I'm not sure that applies any more.
If the current trending continues, I would say something more along the lines of "Mason performs miracles in two weeks; expected to move Sun and Moon with next year's class."
