Vandy247 Podcast

Bryce Drew has come under some criticism as the Commodores have limped through the last two weeks and fallen under .500. Chris Lee and Seabass discuss whether it's too fair to judge him this soon, and ask whether the dynamic of success from James Franklin and Tim Corbin have set an unfair bar. We offer a look back at Drew's Valparaiso tenure and also outline some lengthy early failures for a current Hall of Fame coach who turned out pretty well. 

VU color commentator Tim Thompson joins the podcast to tell how the Commodores can snap a losing skid, including roles for guards Riley LaChance and Matthew Fisher-Davis in that. Tim also offers insight into how VU's 2016-17 schedule was put together, and addresses the perception from some that the team is "soft."
