Dylan Disu, who averaged 15 and 9 for the Commodores last season, announced today that he is transferring. He's the 7th player with eligibility remaining to leave the Vanderbilt program this offseason. Kinda seems like it's not that desirable of a program to be in.
Yikes Vanderbilt
- Thread starter chaneccooms
- Start date
His uncle is dragging him around on a leash.
Well, we do have a few openings
I don't know what you can read into any of the decisions being made. Duke and KU have 4-5 guys in the portal and have landed a couple. Minnesota appears to have their whole team in the portal and has added 2-3 guys. I am sure in some cases decisions are being driven by PT, not clicking with the coach, being homesick, etc., but I also think it creates a Twitter-worthy moment for kids to get attention and pretend they are an NBA free agent.
The domino effect of a team getting someone from the portal is causing the second wave of guys to enter the portal, so no end in sight I suspect.

If you aren't in the portal, you ain't cool! (cue Billy Madison field trip scene...)
Robbins boarded a ship with a bunch of leaks and an unproven captain. He and his uncle should know what they are getting into.
Isn't Vanderbilt the school that disbanded their athletic department a few years ago?
Yeah and now they’re going to Vanderbilt!
Robbins would have been better off staying at Drake. Bad advice from his uncle.
Seems like the family chose "Uncle economics" over the best interests of the player. With things going the direction they are, some AD's would be considering cutting the coach loose. However, Vandy's Prez and AD probably aren't the kind to dump a coach just for having a lousy season or two and perhaps another one on the horizon.
The good news for Robbins is that the NBA will find a good player wherever he may be. On the other hand, if the supporting cast is poor, it may cost Robbins in his first contract. Hope he gets one.
If you take the uncle out of the equation, the move makes absolutely no sense. Playing for the worst team in the SEC, and for a guy whose name has some clout but is mostly inexperienced and unproven as a head coach.
Iowa, and probably a number of other P5 programs, could offer him a starting role and major minutes, and those situations would be more stable and with a much better chance of making the tournament.
His uncle must really be something I guess.
Not sure I agree.
With him Drake may have made a nice run in the tournament.
More people probably know who Jesefu is from two games than most of Minnesotas former roster.
And national exposure doesn't mean anything anyway.
I have a nephew. I can't imagine knowingly putting him in a bad situation just to help my own career.
But, remember that a few guys posted that Vandy is an "up and coming program". 🤠
The two big recruits they got commitments from are in the 2022 class. Stackhouse will be fired by then and Robbins will be following his uncle to yet another new school.
Stackhouse has some transfers coming in to help balance all those leaving (5 or 6 current players), but his 2021 HS recruiting class is nothing special. He did get a big recruit from the Dallas area for 2022, and his teammate came as a package deal. If Vandy finishes last in the SEC for the third straight year in Stackhouse's first 3 years (3-13 and 3-13 so far), he may not be around for 2022. Robbins had no basketball or "close to the family" reason to go to Vandy, just his uncle. Robbins better be a star there, because he isn't going to be surrounded by much that I know about.
Besides Robbins, the two transfers Vanderbilt has coming in averaged 2ppg for a bad TCU team and 8ppg for a mediocre Dayton squad. They'll have to hope they hit at least a couple more home runs in the transfer market to even have a chance at the NIT.
One week of NCAA tournament exposure does not equal Fox, ESPN, and the Big Ten Network. Pretty sure he would never have had that feature done on him at Drake.
May have reached peak college basketball interest a few years ago. This is becoming a joke.
What's the commercial, only 2% go pro and the rest do something other than sports? Yeah, you're not that good. Might as well be practicing being a dependable person for life after college.
