Vandy247 Board

Don't think he is a take at the moment with a paucity of scholarships available and what appears to be a legitimate chance of landing L3.

So you wait till January for McQuay? Then if you don't get him, Walker is already committed and enrolled at Kansas State. On to plan C at safety. That would be a major gamble.

That's correct. He's committing at the Under Armour game.

January 4

We're still running up against the 85-man limit. To even get the final three guys Barton's talking about, it will take departures from three guys currently on scholarship and with remaining eligibility. Tight fit. Do you really wanna give two of those precious final three spots to safeties? Maybe, if one of them is McQuay, but it's a tough call, given the needs at running back and O-line.

I know this sounds cliche but I really want guys who want to be at Vandy. I think Walker really sees how special Vanderbilt is and he really wants to commit.

McQuay doesn't seem to be as excited and still seems to be wavering.

I obviously want McQuay if he'll commit. I'm not trying to "dis" him but presented with an option right now, I want the guy that considers playing for Vanderbilt a privilege and an opportunity.

With our coaches, whoever comes to Vandy will end up being the better player in the long run anyway.

correct me if I'm wrong... but aren't there a few scholarship openings in January ?

L3 seems to be doing the exact OPPOSITE of wavering from Vanderbilt. His recruitment is just being kept airtight and you have to respect that. He's making the best decision for HIM. You can't hate on a kid for doing that.

In fact there hasn't been a recruit that I've resented for going elsewhere with the exception of Josh Dawson. I feel that was a publicity stunt he pulled and I do not wish him a good career. Hope he stays healthy and gets his degree but I hope he gets buried in the depth chart and never sees the field.
