Vandy signs portal 5 star

I will continue to say this until Stoops is gone. It begins and ends with coaching.
He wanted to go to a team that beat em

Listed as a junior this and has 9 career tackles? You people get too caught up on high school rankings, once they have been out for a couple years and haven’t produced in college then they are a miss - happens a lot with football players.
He also had some off field issues and had been suspended prior to hitting the portal. I’m not feeling like this is any huge miss for us.
Could be but Koht was a 5-star recruit in the 2021 On300. 5 Stars are rarely a bust, and most go on to the play in the NFL. That's why I thought this was really big news. Not sure why his PT hasn't been more but as we know Bama brings in huge classes every year so spots can get a bit crowded there.
Brock had one year in a questionable system with not a lot of help. I think he still could turn out to be a good college QB, but not every 5 star turns out to iive up to their ranking.
Did UK offer? Not that I'm aware of. How can this be a "miss" if UK never offered??
The Stoops Effect.. we’re just getting started bro….Our SEC brethren are dinning on filet mignon while we scratch for crumbs on the floor.
Agree. They are in the portal for a reason. Sometimes that reason is not a good one.
Not that I know of. I probably worded that poorly, but I said that in contrast to the implication of the first couple of posts that this guy is going to be a stud at Vanderbilt and that it was an somehow an indictment of our coaching staff that he’s going there. Maybe what I should have said is that I don’t think we’re missing out by not being involved with him.

If so I heard nothing about it. There has to be some level of mutual interest before you get into offers.
From what I have seen so far we aren't really going after the same type of payers we have in the past because it's obvious UK isn't exactly a popular destination right now. That's the larger point.
Seem to be getting away from the TN, Bame, Ohio St rejects and more to the G5 contributors. Better plan? We'll find out in time.
Certainly, five stars are five stars for a reason, but you called this kid filet mignon. Are you just relying on his HS ranking for that description or do you believe he has shown that in college?
There are a ton of guys like this out in the market. The reality is Vandy has to take chances. Maybe they get lucky and he fits like a glove. The odds of him being a 5 star next year pretty low. The odds of him being solid contributor are much better.
The reality for the Vandy, UK and Louisville level programs is they have to thread a needle in this new world. Supposedly NC increased their NIL to 20M. If true that puts them close to the top of the food chain. UK is 11th at 12m in SEC which is 2-3M more than Louisville. UK will have a better roster than Louisville but not even close the their SEC counter parts.
When Louisville and UK fans talk about replacing coaches the question becomes what does the hire mean NIL wise. If it widens or closes the gap. Sumerel maybe perfect but is NIL going to jump 3-4M? Basketball is getting more expensive too.

We took two 5 stars from the portal from Georgia just last offseason.
