In this episode of The Two Percent, Harry and Kiambu speak with Candice Storey Lee, the vice chancellor for athletics and university affairs and the athletic director at Vanderbilt. She is the university’s first female athletic director and the first black woman to head an SEC athletics program.

Candice discusses her 20+ years at Vanderbilt, from following in the footsteps of David Williams, Vanderbilt’s former athletics director, to the trials and tribulations of leading the athletics department and paving the way for black women in sports. She tells Harry and Kiambu about her journey in sports, Vandy’s new logo, and her stance on NIL deals.

Kumar Rocker speaks on the influence of his Father, Tracy Rocker, former NFL player. Tracy is now a coach with the Philadelphia Eagles. Kumar’s mindset and mental toughness stems from his childhood traveling and being around SEC football. Being in those environments played heavily into his decision on choosing Vanderbilt out of high school, instead of going in the draft. Rocker claims this to be one of the best decisions he has made in his life.

Kumar discusses his battles early on dealing with SEC competition. Later in that freshman campaign, Rocker continued to rise and come through for the VandyBoys and multiple must win elimination games. Rocker is known for his infamous no hitter in a Super Regional against Duke pitching a complete game shutout with 19 strikeouts. Weeks later Kumar would being named the College World Series MVP.Kumar led his 2021 VandyBoys back to the CWS falling short to a tough, relentless Mississippi State team. He was selected 10th overall to the New York Mets in that draft. Things fell through contractually with that deal, forcing Kumar to sit out a year to heal from injury and prove himself again. He talks about the embarrassment of that situation. Kumar pitched 5 Indy Ball games which got him selected 3rd overall to the Texas Rangers in the 2022 MLB Draft.
