The timeline is really odd. 6 days ago Liam enters the transfer portal. 5 days ago, news breaks that Ed Conroy "likely" getting an assistant job at Vandy. Today, Liam joins Vandy. How long until we hear the Conroy hire is official?
Iowa was briefly rumored to be in the mix for Marcus Santos-Silva from Texas Tech, but I see Santos-Silva has withdrawn from the portal and will remain at Tech.
They used to do an annual concert in Okoboji...still might? I saw them there about 5 years ago.
The funny thing is that Rebraca's dad played with Jerry Stackhouse in the NBA. Watch him go to Vandy too.
Saw them play The Roof Garden at Arnold’s Park, Okoboji in the 70’s. Remember I sweated my rear off with no air conditioning and a over capacity crowd. Still had a great time!
Well if Vandy hire's Rebraca's aunt to be the team nurse then its a done deal
They are regulars at Okoboji. I believe they will be there Labor Day Weekend this year.
lets see, Vanderbilt is a prestigious academic institution in a great town with a rising basketball program led by a former college all american and NBA all-star. Why in the world would a player choose Vanderbilt? Yeah, you're being a total homer.
The program hasn't risen yet, they're .351 in two years under Stackhouse. Plenty of great players turned out to be lousy coaches. Yes, Vandy is a fine school...but you conveniently left out the real reason. Uncle Ed.
I wasn't sure if his uncle had been hired or not so didn't include that intentionally...if he has, then even more reason for Liam to choose Vanderbilt. So again, yes redhawk was being a total homer suggesting this was a really dumb decision on Liam's part.
Snubbed us twice? Please explain. We didn’t recruit him out of high school and don’t believe Fran went after him in the portal the 1st time as Minny was already a done deal. Is what it is.
As others have said, Stackhouse is starting to recruit well, but so far he has been a failure, dead last for two years. I said in an earlier post that Vanderbuilt was a beautiful campus with great academics, but we had heard how important family was to Liam, and he now chose a school even further away than Minnesota was. His family could have been at all of the Hawkeye home games, and he could have been an hour away from home. It obviously is Liam's choice to make, but I still don't think I was being a total homer to say I think he made a dumb choice.
Vanderbilt is a rising BB program like Nebraska is a rising FB and BB program-NOT
Yep. Vandy has been 3-13 and 3-13 in the SEC in Stackhouse's first two years as head coach. Got to admit, there is only one direction to go from there (other than out the door).
One direction? I think our neighbors to the west showed there is indeed another direction....
