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.
