The first day of the early signing period came and went with Vanderbilt signing 21 players (including two transfers.) I’ll have more on this later in the morning, but just know that this class currently ranks 29th (!) nationally in Rivals, just behind Penn State, though it’s 47th on 247 Sports and I can’t recall ever seeing a disparity that large between the two services.
In other football news, Randall Haynie joins the exodus to the transfer portal. Meh.
The men’s basketball team couldn’t quite come back from a 45-21 halftime deficit, losing 78-67 to Richmond.
