Jarred Vanderbilt has a message for the naysayers

He will be a TREMENDOUS player for us this year before he leaves for the lottery. I think he could start at the 2-5 and more than hold his own on both ends. Such a rare talent. Glad he is ours.

He was my favorite the first time I saw him. I love how he takes contact and finishes. Seems to even want the contact.
Me too. I thought, "6-9 with those handles and passing ability, and he's rated that low?!" I was amazed then and I'm amazed now that he's not at least top 10 in the class. Probably top 5, in all reality.

He is a sensational talent.

Him missing senior year hurts his ranking, but he is top 5 player to me. We haven't seen this kind of versatility and size before.
 
Lets just all wait for Rivals to updated their top 150. That is the only one I have seen that is close to consistent and reliable.

Best use EVER of a Tennessean!

Edit: Glad Vanderbilt's moving to Kentucky :confused:
 
Was looking at the Catspause yearbook from Murray's Freshman year and saw where they had him ranked 8 going into his junior year. It seems like he was even top 5 when he was younger. This kid has all the tools to be a Lamar Odom type player.
 
The one time I saw him play in person he shot 400 free throws. Excited for a guy who can drive like that.
 
Keeping in mind the video is his highlights, it still looks like he has a good feel for the game, and can play through contact. Doesn't seem like a high-flyer, which is ok; seem athletic enough.
 
Antoine Walker says hello.
Yes good comparison alot of people don't remember how good a passer and ball handler Walker was. Vanderbilt probably faster with the ball he has almost pg handles. But yeah he will bring alot of the same thing to the team. I think walker leans closer to being a 4 and Vanderbilt is a little closer to a 3 and a much better defender
