Hey @YoDore - tried my best to cheer on and scream for Vandy today. Impressed with their fight and the 14-0 run. It will be fun to see what Shea can do with a bigger healthier roster next season.

Amen to that. I think you're right in both cases...we should be bigger and healthier. Shea's postgame press conference was good if you're interested. The last couple minutes especially lifted my spirits.

i think you have a keeper, and unlike some, think she's gonna stay there for a while.

I really think Vandy can really go far under Shea. She has learned from some of the best and knows what needs to be done. The passion in her voice in the last few minutes was great. Looking forward to see what happens next season.
 
Coach Ralph seems very high on this young lady, and she'll bring badly needed size and athleticism to the squad next year. She's 6'2, which admittedly is not at all big for an SEC front court player, but has speed and jumping ability. I could see her spending most of her time at the three/four positions. Averaged 24.5 ppg her senior season. Shea also signed a 6'3 and 6'4 player along with another 6'2, so, overall, the team is starting to get a bit bigger. Thank goodness.

Is this the player you thought was a bit of a project?

No, the one I was talking about is a 6'3 kid out of Georgia, Bailey Gilmore. Obviously I could be wrong about her, and Shea knows a lot more about it than I do. I just haven't seen any film that knocked me over, and she had a very modest list of offers. Very high academic kid.

Pierre, the kid listed above, is #63 on ESPN's Hoopgurlz rankings. I think she has a chance to be a good one.

Thanks much.
 
Duke grad Jordyn Oliver committed to Vandy a few days ago. She should have two years of eligibility left since she redshirted a year at Duke due to injury. Started her career at Baylor and transferred to Duke after two years when Mulkey left for LSU. With Jordyn Cambridge returning to the court after missing a year to yet another surgery, Oliver could be valuable at the point guard position and take some of the load off Cambridge.

 
Class of '25 shooting guard Ciara Byars from George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester, Ky. got a Vandy offer this weekend. Plays for Kentucky Premier in the summer. Coach Ralph has an affinity for the Premier players. This is the third one with an offer including 6'2 Leah Macy ('25) and 5'9 Chloe Spreen ('24).

Her offers:

Vanderbilt
Dayton
Louisville
Marshall
EKU
NKU
Cincinnati

Looking forward to seeing this young lady on campus in a couple months. I think she and coach Ralph will be great combo.

Class of '26 guard from Indianapolis, Ind. She's a Blue Star 30 player who competes for Decatur Central High School and plays summer ball for the Sports City Angels 17u squad. Got the offer after this weekend's action. Has several offers including Ohio State and Iowa along with SEC schools Arkansas, Alabama and Mississippi State.

 
Pissott (6-4) is a similar type player to Agata Makurat (6-3), though Pissott tends to hang out on the perimeter a bit more.
 
In other, more unpleasant news, Vanderbilt is being sued by a former women's basketball player over the conduct (sexual assault) by a former assistant coach (Vikki Picott). Picott was an assistant on Melanie Balcomb's staff when the alleged conduct took place.

I know who the player is but won't post it because I haven't seen any public reporting of her identity.

Picott's last coaching position was on Houston's staff as an associate head coach. She is no longer a member of the Courgar's staff.

Official welcome for Jordyn Oliver. I for one am happy to have her onboard to hopefully take some of the workload off Jordyn Cambridge and her fragile legs.

Not sure how she'll do on the basketball floor, but I suspect she'll hold her own in the classroom. She's a 6'3 incoming freshman from Georgia. Didn't have an impressive list of offers, but not everyone on a 13-player roster is going to be a star. Either way, I suspect she'll be a great asset for the team. I thought her accomplishment deserved some recognition.

 
Coach Ralph and football coach Clark Lea were in Chicago yesterday for a gathering with Vandy fans. Some of the coaches were in Atlanta the day before.

 
Jacy Abii, a 6'1 rising sophomore (class of '26) out of Liberty High School in Frisco, Texas has received a Vandy offer following last weekend's AAU play. She was one of the top freshmen in the country last season and has been invited to try out for the 16U national team. Has 25+ offers.

Marnelle Garraud, who played her grad year at Vandy for coach Ralph after graduating from Boston College, has signed to play professionally in Spain. She arrived on campus with a reputation more as a defender but wound up leading the SEC in made 3-pointers. She and fellow grad transfer Ciaja Harbison (St. Louis) basically kept an injury-riddled team afloat.

I can't speak or read Spanish, but I think it says something like, "Marnelle had a real good time in Nashville, and all great basketball players should go to Vandy and play for coach Ralph." :D

As every season, Embutidos Pajariel Bembibre discovers American rookies for the Endesa Women's League and European basketball. It is a great virtue to successfully repeat the formula every summer, although in many cases it is impossible to retain these players. Marnelle Garraud, a 170-centimeter tall guard who joins the Berciano team after playing the last five seasons in the United States University League, arrives with the same premise. (NCAA), first with the Boston College Eagles and last season with the Vandervilt Commodores.

Born almost 23 years ago in the US town of Lynn, in the state of Massachusetts, Garraud finished her university career at Vanderbilt, where she also played a well-known face among the Bercian fans such as Erin Whalen and the Avenida Perfumeries player Mariella Fasoula, who also He played at Boston College, where Garraud began his college career and earned several awards in four seasons before moving to Nashville. There, in her last season, she averaged almost 14 points in the 31 games she played. She added an average of 3 rebounds and 2 assists with field goal percentages close to 40%.
