Vandy247 Podcast

Color commentator Tim Thompson joins the podcast to discuss Vanderbilt hoops. Topics include how this freshman class came together, whether it was a mistake to pursue Romeo Langford, issues with discipline and effort, thoughts on addressing coaching-related matters in the offseason, and whether Simi Shittu will return to VU next year.

Two consecutive blowouts leave a lot of questions around Vanderbilt basketball. Also, Malcolm Turner is about to start as VU's new offensive coordinator. Chris Lee and Seabass talk about that, and a lot more.

D1 Baseball's Aaron Fitt joins the podcast to discuss why he thinks Vanderbilt is the nation's best team heading into the preseason. Topics include the weekend pitching rotation (and why Aaron thinks Kumar Rocker belongs there), an outfield that Aaron thinks might be the country's best, why VU is "too loaded" to fail, extended thoughts on each starting rotation candidate and much of the batting lineup, what off-the-radar players could contribute, his thoughts on the coaching staff, and more.

Mitch Light joins the podcast. He and host Chris Lee discuss Vandy's hoops week, including the controversial Flagrant 1 in the Tennessee game, as well as a bad performance at Oklahoma. The two talk about why the transfer of Harvard receiver Justice Shelton-Mosely could be significant and also about the offensive coordinator search. They end the podcast talking about where they'd set an over-under on home runs for each starter on the 2019 baseball team.

Seabass joins the podcast to discuss the Tennessee loss, and whether Vanderbilt's performance changed his opinion of the team. The two also get into the offensive coordinator search and answer some questions revolving around next year's offense, and discuss baseball expectations and the roster for 2019.

VU hoops color commentator Tim Thompson discusses VU's 88-83 overtime loss to Tennessee. Topics include VU's new offense and how Saben Lee and the posts are adapting to it, Aaron Nesmith's accelerated development, how the coaching staff relates to players and recruits behind the scenes (including disciplinary issues), and finally, the controversial Flagrant 1 on Clevon Brown.

Mitch Light and Chris Lee take a look at where the basketball season has gone wrong, including things easy to measure and some not-so-easy to measure. How does VU move forward this season? Is there optimism for the future? That, and a lot more, in our Monday podcast.

The football transfer path has been kind to VU in recent years. Chris Lee and Seabass discuss that, the general stubbornness of football coaches, and lots more in our Friday podcast.

Vandy's 0-4 start to Southeastern Conference play wasn't what anyone expected, and that has bred a lot of tough questions--some involving the absence of Darius Garland, but many not--around the team and the coaching staff. Chris Lee hits on about a half-dozen themes that constantly come up around the failures of this season, and how those themes might affect the future. We examine what criticisms are fair, what criticisms aren't, and more, with VU hoops color commentator Tim Thompson.

Former Vanderbilt basketball and baseball player (and current Nashville Predators TV announcer) Willy Daunic talks about the state of VU sports past, present and future, with some thoughts on what Malcolm Turner could do for VU. The two also talk VU hoops, including the current struggles as well as what Bryce Drew and staff can do in recruiting, and a whole lot more. It's a can't-miss episode of the VandySports Podcast.
