Goodpasture Buggs commits to Vandy????

[wizard]

I just read on vandymania.com that Marcus Buggs committed to Vandy. He will play as a safety. Is this true? If so, I believe that Vandy got a solid player ranked in the top 60 (or higher) at his position by Rivals.

Congrats to Marucs! He is an oustanding athelete. To bad UT did not get him they need somebody who can run the ball!!

i don't think that's true, i will check about that though.

Looks like UT doesn't care if they recruit any instaters. They let Carl Stewart from Maryville get away, and he's a fine RB.

I find it funny how many kids from Tennessee that can really play, slip away or just aren't really targeted by UT. Ingle Martin is one that really comes to mind. He's one of the best to come through here in a while. Also Matthew Tant from Harpeth is one I thought UT would've gone after harder. He is a big time athlete.

 

Perhaps some others...

 

Taylor Bourgeois, Cooper Wallace, Steven Ross, Jake Slaughter all some SERIOUS ball players that Auburn took away.

 

The Bullocks brothers, Josh and Daniel from Hixon, are some of the most gifted athletes to come through Tennessee in a while, and the Vols let them get away to Lincoln. Both a solid 205lbs with a true 4.4 time.....scary.

 

Donnie Lowe of Lavergne wound up starting at Alabama as a Sophomore.

 

Memphis DL studs, Kindal Moorehead, David Paine, and Albert Means all headed to Tuscaloosa out of high school. Not to mention Erik Locke, though he eventually came back. Santonio Beard is another one that got away to the Tide, and he had a nice homecoming on Saturday ripping the Vols for 2 scores.

 

The list goes on, but its a strange phenomena.

Boneal, the same thing happens in basketball. UT invites the instate kids to walk on and doesn't offer scholarships. They overlooked Torree Morris (6'10", 280 lbs, Clinton High School) and he enrolled for the Pittsburgh Panthers. Last year he played a big part in some of their wins. If he were good enough for the Big East, he's good enough for the SEC.

Interesting.

It was in the paper this morning Buggs did commit to Vandy.

Congratulations to Mr. Buggs!! Granted, I've only seen him play once, but it seems unlikely he will be a RB in college. Vandy has him listed as a safety, and that seems more likely. Not really enough speed to play RB in the SEC.

Yeah, Buggs is a great football player. I wish him the best.

The interesting thing is that Vanderbilt already has 8 verbal commits while UT only has 2 (I think this is on Rivals website.) Most of these 8 Vandy commits are 3 or 4 star players.

 

The new Vandy regime is not wasting any time recruiting this year.......Could be a good sign for them.

where does carl stewart from maryville go to college?
