Vanderbilt baseball MLB Draft preview, transfer portal update

Vanderbilt fished Tyrin Lawrence out of the transfer portal and added Evan Taylor (Lehigh), Ven Allen Lubin (Notre Dame) and Tasos Kamateros to a five-man freshman class. So now, does coach Jerry Stackhouse have the roster it takes to advance to his first NCAA tournament? We unpack that question and a whole lot more.

Year-end baseball review with Luke Wyatt, the mailbag, more

Vanderbilt lost a pair of one-run games in the Nashville regional, bringing an abrupt end to the season a week after an SEC tournament championship. Chris Lee and Chip Fridrich rewind that and look at what lies ahead for Tim Corbin and the program.

Back-to-back losses end Vanderbilt's baseball season in the Nashville regional

The pieces aren't all there, but what is has come together nicely. Vanderbilt advanced through the loser's bracket to win the SEC tournament, with RJ Austin taking home MVP honors. Chris Lee and Luke Wyatt discuss that and Vandy's NCAA tournament draw.

Vandy wins the SEC tournament, earns No. 6 national seed

Vanderbilt scored a stunning series win over Arkansas, keyed by an out-of-the-blue, eight-run eight inning in Game Two. And now, the Commodores are a lock to host one weekend and in great position to host two weekends. Chris Lee and Luke Wyatt unwind the weekend, compare Vandy's pitching to the rest of the league and more.

Vanderbilt finds redemption and momentum with a wild series win vs. Arkansas

Vanderbilt has not been playing well down the stretch as injuries have ravaged the starting rotation. Chris Lee and Luke Wyatt talk about fan frustration around the team and what's fair and unfair in terms of criticisms, and the intricacies of situations that make it hard to know what's really going on (which extends to journalism, too.) There are still plenty of reasons for hope if the Commodores get healthy, but will they?

Injuries, competency and stuff people can't say

Injuries, competency and the stuff people can't say 

Vanderbilt was swept at Florida without Carter Holton and Hunter Owen; is either coming back? Can Vanderbilt still host one or two weekends? Is there a confidence problem with hitting? That, and much more, with Chip Fridrich.

VandySports's podcast

Will Perdue

Former Vanderbilt basketball superstar Will Perdue has been trying to help athletics for a quarter of a century, and gotten shut down at nearly every turn. Perdue shares those stories, talks about what should be done differently, and answers some questions pertaining to his pro and college career at the end.

Will Perdue has strong opinions on how VU runs athletics

Luke Wyatt, who worked at Vanderbilt for 40 years as an equipment manager before retiring two years ago, knows VU athletics inside and out. Luke gives revealing background on how Vanderbilt operates and why it does the things it does, how budgets work, how decisions were made in the past, the multitude of facilities plans that came and went without any action, and much more. Luke tells some fascinating stories on and off the field from his time at VU, including one on Nick Zeppos at the end.

A revealing picture inside VU athletics

Vanderbilt's football and basketball programs aren't in good spots as 2020 begins. Chris Lee and George Plaster revisit how moves VU did (and didn't) make got those programs to this point, and answer your mailbag questions.

How small turns got Vanderbilt here

VandySports recruiting analyst David Sisk joins us to discuss the state of Vanderbilt basketball and recruiting. Topics include the Tyrin Lawrence addition on Thursday, reconciling large differences of opinion on Myles Stute, the enigma of Isaac McBride, recruiting targets left on the board in this cycle, potential changes in how coach Jerry Stackhouse recruits, facilities issues and more.  We've got just about all you need to know in a one-hour, 15-minute episode.

The state of hoops and hoops recruiting

The NCAA pulled the plug on darn-near everything as Chris Lee and Seabass were recording a podcast. The two react in real time and try to process it all, including implications for players, coaches, media fans, eligibility concerns, etc., and Chris's frustrations of why what's literally a life-and-death situation in many instances has become unnecessarily political.

When it's all canceled: Reacting in real time

Basketball coach Jerry Stackhouse inherited a bad roster, one made worse by an apparent season-ending injury to superstar Aaron Nesmith. That now puts Stackhouse behind the 8-ball, because next year appears to be a rebuilding year, too. What can be done? Chris Lee and George Plaster address that question, and more.

Digging out of holes you didn't create

Malcolm Turner is gone, but there are still a lot of questions to be answered about how it went down. Chris Lee and George Plaster explore those and the general climate around Vanderbilt athletics in the not-so-distant past and touch briefly on facilities plans.

When things don't add up

Chris Lee and Seabass talk about Vanderbilt's continued incompetence towards managing its athletics department and why it happens. They also discuss the football signing class a bit.

How bad decisions keep happening

Aaron Fitt

D1Baseball's Aaron Fitt talks about Vanderbilt's fantastic decade that just finished, and some of the high points of that team. Aaron also gives us a glimpse into where VU fits into the national rankings for 2020, and answers several mailbag questions.

Tommy Smith

Tommy Smith, AD Malcolm Turner's right-hand man, joins the podcast to talk about the reunions for VU's SEC-championship-winning hoops squads, and then answer some questions on facilities, strategic plans and administrative cooperation.

Tommy Smith on hoops reunions, facilities and strategic plans

Chris Lee and David Sisk talk for 1:10 about Vanderbilt and Southeastern Conference basketball. Topics include whether Vanderbilt adds another player this spring, whether Saben Lee or Isaac McBride will be on the roster next year, which freshmen can have an impact (and have the best chance of starting), an analysis of recent commitment Akeem Odusipe, how VU's class compares with the SEC, and a discussion of Jeff Goodman's top-50 forecast for next season, which includes nine SEC teams.

Hoops recruiting update, and a look at playing time competition for 2020-21

Chris and Seabass discuss how football and basketball are in rough spots, and how it's going to be tough to climb out of that soon.

Winter

Chris Lee and George Plaster talk through both the recent and distant history of what happens when someone makes an effort to change Vanderbilt athletics. That includes how decisions are made and the Board of Trust's role in all of it. From what happened three weeks ago, to things that happened decades ago, much is discussed and several listener questions get answered.

Fighting city hall

Saben Lee

Chris Lee and Mitch Light discuss the loss of Saben Lee for next year, talk about the late Woody Widenhofer, and more.

Saben Lee departs

Chris Lee and Seabass discuss the wide receiver group now that C.J. Bolar is in the transfer portal, and players who could benefit from Bolar's departure. The two also talk at length about next year's basketball roster, and the potential ramifications for VU if top hoops recruits start bypassing college for the G League.

Sizing up the wide receiver corps, next year's hoops roster, and G League developments

Basketball has hit an all-time low in losing, football attendance is the worst in decades, and now, optimism around a game-changing strategic plan for Vanderbilt athletics is shrinking as there's a black hole of information. Chris Lee and Seabass discuss that, and take some listener questions.

Unease and uncertainty

Vanderbilt has hired new coordinators on both sides of the ball, and also a new offensive line coach. Mitch Light and Chris Lee talk about that, discuss the heartbreaking hoops loss to SMU and then break a little news about a key roster departure in football.

Talking coordinator hires and hoops with Mitch Light

Vanderbilt just missed a huge upset at No. 5 Auburn on Thursday night. VU hoops color commentator Tim Thompson discusses the encouraging things from that game, whether Vandy can sneak some wins primarily on the backs of Aaron Nesmith and Saben Lee's production alone, the difference it makes with Clevon Brown being out (and when he might return), and more.

A near miss at Auburn

The answer may surprise you; it surprised Chris Lee and Seabass, who also discuss the outcome of the 2020 NFL Draft and talk about the NCAA's image-and-likeness statement from this week.

Does Vanderbilt have a 2021 NFL first-rounder? 

News of athletic director Malcolm Turner's departure broke minutes after Chris Lee and George Plaster did a Tuesday morning podcast... so, let's try this again. The two dive on on Turner's replacement with Candice Lee, talk about reactions to the news and more.
