While I've never heard of of our Vandy hostesses traveling around to see recruits, we have definitely had pretty girls assigned to welcome recruits and sell them and their families (typically their moms) on Vandy. Did CBJ do away with this?

Come SEC play we'll be an improved team, and hopefully we'll continue to improve all the way through to where we have an impressive resume come March.<br /><br />Joseph, a fair point about John Wall. Dude is a Commodore's worst nightmare. Not only is he ultra-quick, but he has a nice stop and pop game. Still, there are weaknesses, but we have to learn how to force teams to our gameplan first.Stanimalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06068492073488859014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-53644448833959434572009-12-10T06:25:48.946-06:002009-12-10T06:25:48.946-06:00VandyGold28 posted an excellent analysis of the re...VandyGold28 posted an excellent analysis of the remaining non-con schedule. I often count teams like So. Miss and Manhattan as automatic "Ws". It certainly would not surprise me if Vandy enters the conf. schedule at 10-4, rather than 12-2 as I hope.<br /><br />Although it doesn't seem like it now, all of the holes Stallings refers to will be plugged. Turnovers are becoming less of a factor which shows that ball handling has improved overall. Same goes for offensive and defensive rebounds. The "running" of the offense has also improved, but if AJ and Taylor aren't shooting the ball (to say nothing of having said ball go through the net), Vandy will lose games. To some degree that is dependent on Beal getting the ball to them, but I think more of it has to do with them getting open through running effective screens (most of which have been sloppy to date).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-46729483706468226492009-12-10T00:30:17.291-06:002009-12-10T00:30:17.291-06:00regardless of how we do in our non-con schedule, t...regardless of how we do in our non-con schedule, there is a 6-4 WALL glaring us in the face on 1/30. yea yea we shouldnt look ahead.. blah blah blah, but our point play really needs to be better than its been to even lose by 15.Josephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640778288989151924.post-74086823688297441212009-12-09T13:46:16.833-06:002009-12-09T13:46:16.833-06:00Sounds like no new posts for a few days or so with...Sounds like no new posts for a few days or so with that exam! Last night was a very large disappointment but like you said, the season is long and things can change. We have 6 more games until SEC play, 5 of them in Memorial, and 1 in the arena. Out of these 6 the teams that worry me the most are WKU (mainly because of the venue and the fact that they may have more fans along with UT & MTSU fans cheering them along), Manhattan, and Southern Miss. WKU is not living up to their potential at all as a Sun Belt favorite. I don't think they were picked to win the Sun Belt but were certainly expected to challenge for it. Manhattan is in the same league as Siena and we all know as vandy fans how that one turned out. i don't think they are nearly as good as siena but i think they bring some trouble to the table. <br /><br />the team i worry about the most is southern miss. at 5-1 they haven't realy beaten anyone but it's the loss that worries me. they lost by 2 to a very good ole miss team recently. that's scary. <br /><br />all that said i would still be extremely disappointed if we don't end up 12-2 going into the florida game. we should be able to win all of them and if we don't this team is destined for major disappointment.VandyGold28noreply@blogger.com
