Strong Pickup for Shea. Vandy's reputation seems to be a big part of the get

Vanderbilt picks up commitment from four-star post player | Sports | nashvillepost.com

The first-year head coach landed a commitment from 2022 four-star recruit and ESPN’s No. 9-ranked post player Amauri Williams on Saturday. From Arkansas, Williams chose the Commodores over offers from Alabama, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Oklahoma State.

“My dream come true, the school I’ve been dreaming of going to since I started playing basketball at a very young age,” Williams tweeted. “It fulfills my academic dreams of being an OBGYN, and I can’t wait to begin something special here. I will be joining coach Shea Ralph and her new established basketball staff at Vanderbilt University. I’m so thankful for opportunity and a start of an amazing journey with even more amazing people.”

Mmm are those really the best though Shea?

Come on, it's a start and a pretty good one at that

Gotta start somewhere.

One of those teams was in the national championship game just six weeks ago. And DePaul sometimes gives us trouble. That's a pretty good schedule. Let's see what Coach Mulkey schedules for LSU.

Little Sisters of the Poor of Baton Rouge.

Twice.

That is an aggressive start for Shea...they could easy go 0-3....

 

[Stymie]

I’m seeing 1-2.

 

[Urshurak]

I’m seeing 1-2.

Hard to say, the way DePaul ended the season, they might lose to the Little Sisters of the Poor of Baton Rouge

Twice.

Both game at home.

I am interested in Shea's progress at Vandy. I'm curious as to how fast she can turn things around there.

How could anyone not root for her?

Well, she also has 2 four stars for 2021 from the White era

She said, "some of the best", which, arguably, they are. They should all be Top 25 teams next season and two of the three (all three if you count Depaul for most of the year) were ranked at the end of the year.

She just picked up another guard from Dartmouth.

No attack @CL82 but her words are SOME OF THE BEST. The teams listed are just that and going to be formidable opponents for a rebuilding program with a new staff. I can't imagine anyone expecting more out of the gate for Shea or Vandy, she has already set the bar high in my opinion.

No offense taken!

Not a bad tournament lineup. Certainly challenging enough for early in your first year before conference play.
while you are still evaluating your players and lineup.

While it does give her a quick assessment , I would think she’d be better served with some wins to build a little confidence. If they lose 20 games — which this years team probably would’ve — gonna be tough.

 

[cwaduke]

Real early to pass any judgement. She just got the job. I look forward to watching how she builds things. Just because you sit in the back seat, doesn't mean you can't drive.

Vandy is now my second favorite team.
