Just updating:

>>", the nation's No. 1 junior college tight end and No. 10 prospect in the ESPN Junior College 100, committed to Vanderbilt on Saturday night.

The 6-foot-6, 260-pound College of the Desert (Calif.) tight end, originally out of Xavier Prep in Palm Desert, Calif., knew that this time around he wanted to position himself at a place where he could have the best chance to succeed on and off the field. During an official visit to Vanderbilt this weekend, he found it."

"Only a few schools can compete with Vandy on an academic and football level," Vandenburg said. "Out of those schools, Vanderbilt has the most stable coaching staff, which is important. No other school had the combination of those three things."

"Vandenburg held offers from schools such as Arkansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Mississippi and Texas A&M. He took an official visit to Connecticut this past December and had visits scheduled to Miami and Tennessee the next two weeks. But he ended his recruiting process on Saturday night, during a meeting with Vanderbilt coach James Franklin."<<

Did anyone notice in that article there is mention of a former Vandy O-lineman whose last name is Cabbagestalk. Really. I've decided the only way you could be more redneck is if your last name was Redneck.

Hah. I always associate redneck with double first names. Joe Bob or Billy Ray. So if his name was Billy Ray Cabbagestalk, he'd probably own a platinum redneck card.

If not "we" I'm certain the ladies on campus are happy. Not a very good dude after all, sad story.

This whole story was featured on 48 hours last weeks and since I didn't know the history and results, it was very interesting.

Bad all the way around and they very nearly completely got away with it. The victim actually had no idea that she was violated. She actually thought that Vandenberg was a good guy and her protector.
