Not even going to bring in a token white guy for an interview?

"Kill Whitey" is replacing "Anchor Down."

Coach Franklin: "Vandy is a dream job."

PSU: "Coach we want you to become the new HC here."

Coach Franklin: "I'll be there as soon as possible, I'm going to bring all the players that've committed to Vanderbilt, as I can."

Vandy might have to do something quick. James Franklin has a charter bus that he's filling up with current Vandy commits and bringing them, or trying to bring them, to Penn State. Vandy's 20 commits, at this time, less than a handful are considered solid verbal...the others are looking, some of them have a new PSU offer. Remember what that Coach Franklin stated when he got to Vanderbilt? Players without honor and integrity are the ones that've decomitted from his new Vanderbilt (Nevermind the fact that he'd gotten a couple players from other schools to decommit and commit to Vanderbilt).
Sounds to me like I was right about Coach James Franklin. He's a piece of shit, used car salesman, snake in the grass type coach. Vandy will be thanking their lucky stars that he left when he did, the NCAA will catch on to him, maybe while he's at PSU.

Yes I'm quoting myself...Vandy's commitments have dwindled from 20 to 9, at this time.

Damn! That's going to leave a mark.  Has Vandy hired anyone yet?

Derek Mason.  All of the assistant coaches have been in place for a few days now as well.  They're on the recruiting trail, and they're doing fine given the short amount of time they've had to repair the class.

They were down from 20 verbal commits to 3 immediately after Franklin left.  They're up to 9 currently, as well as having a variety of kids who were previously interested in other schools but are now looking at Vandy due to the Mason hire.

If I recall correctly, we have around 20 freshmen who were redshirted last year and haven't played, and there are no reports that any of them want to leave.  The recruiting class is growing.  We'll be fine in the long run, if not also for this upcoming year.  And as I've said before, I'd much rather take the time to hire the right coach and risk losing one recruiting class than rush yourself into making a bad hire just to try to save one recruiting class.

Hmmm...Vandy didn't want him anyway.
