TXHSFootballGuy Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 There is a story on Vanderbilt coach James Franklin and his efforts on Vanderbilt recruiting on the Tennessee Colleges page of coacht.com Check it out thanks, Donovan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashMouthFootball85 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 They have 4 of the top 5 recruits form Tennessee for the 2012 class so far. Where you at Big Orange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgrizzlies Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 A degree from any college is a good thing in today's down job market...but a degree from VU is a cut above almost any out there. They made a good decision to pick Vanderbilt. Obviously you can play ball there and still be drafted high in the NFL as well if you have that level of football talent.

SEC1rules Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 They have 4 of the top 5 recruits form Tennessee for the 2012 class so far. Where you at Big Orange? This is all smoke & mirrors with offseason hype. As soon as Vandy wins 3 games this season some of these recruits will look elsewhere. If Franklin does turn Vandy around he will get poached by a bigger school. Who knows if this guy can even be a good head coach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of that is subjective, but i don't think anyone else would have the same top 5 you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get a scholarship to go to Vanderbilt and you can make the grade... GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Maryville fan it is not often that I agree with bladeruuner but he is definitely correct on this one!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashMouthFootball85 Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 He is no doubt trying turn it around. He is a better recruiter than coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashMouthFootball85 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 The four out of five was according to Unapproved Website a week ago. So yeah someone does have the same top 5 as me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsontide43 Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 He is a better talker than anything. hasnt done anything anywhere. Dont look for him to last . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEC1rules Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 Bottom line is that a degree from Vanderbilt is very valuable. I agree but didn't state anything about that in my post. I was strictly talking football and the supposed hype around Vandy this offseason. Franklin is doing ok but he has one player with a Vol offer and nobody has seen his on the field product yet.
