Re: Is it wrong to think that Vanderbilt should reload

Re: Is it wrong to think that Vanderbilt should reload 

I don't think the numbers like that are comparable. Football has about 25 starting positions to fill, and 85 scholarships. Basketball has 5 and 13.

So #175 in football would be maybe top fifty in BB?

The proof is in the pudding, and BB is really hurting for talent right now.

We have a top 50 PF/C in Damian Jones that has signed a LOI for 2013.  How does that pudding taste?

Re: Is it wrong to think that Vanderbilt should reload 

Even my syracuse orangeman don't do that. This is a pointless argument and has spawned numerous threads. It must be the lack of patience in today's society, everyone sees the winner, and forget everyone else is the loser. You turn on a golf tournament on Sunday and see 10-15 guys that are playing well, when half the field was sent home after Friday.
  As I, and others, who the see cup half-full. Be patient, I think another year, and Mcclellen, Jones and another year of experience/strength/conditioning, we're going to be a bubble team next year, and within a player of going back to the tourney. Again, this year is an aberration
