James Franklin "trying to destroy Vandy recruiting class"

[MAGIC CITY CANE]

On Saturday morning, Vanderbilt had 20 commitments and a 2014 football recruiting class that was ranked in the top 25 in the country.

By Sunday night, a day after coach James Franklin left for Penn State, the Commodores had what one recruiting site called three solid commitments.

It’s not uncommon for schools to lose recruits when a coach leaves, but what’s happening to Vanderbilt 23 days before signing day is not normal.

Two Vanderbilt commitments now say they are going to Penn State, and Franklin has offered scholarships to at least six others.

“I’ve never seen it in this volume, quite this fast, of someone trying to pillage their own commitment class for their new job,” said Jesse Johnson of Rivals recruiting site VandySports.com.

1. It's his job to get the best players to Pedo St. He could give two ***** about Vandy.

2. It's great to be The U! It wouldn't happen to the extreme mentioned in the article. Most kids come to UM to play for the U on the helmet, while few come for a coach...

Vandy is a ****** team in a ****** predicament and ZERO fan support. At least if we win people will show up. These guys have had ground breaking success and had about 25,000 people at their senior day this year. These kids committed to Franklin, not to Vandy and that's why it's in the *******.

Signing day should be before the season ends.

No dignity or honor among thieves.

Coasching is a dirty bidness in the NCAA

Hey that just means we are back in the drivers seat to land a visit and potential commitment from 2014 DT Micheal Sawyers (Soft Vandy Commit)

Go Canes
