The meltdown that is happening on the Vandy message boards

Now they're creating measurements to give their class a #1 ranking:

Vanderbilt's class ranks #1 among teams that signed 18 or less players.... There were 24 teams that signed 18 or less....

Saw that on Twitter....

Class rated higher than the likes of Michigan, Duke, Boise St, Maryland, Colorado, Pittsburgh, Indiana, Wake Forest, Northwestern, Washington St, Kansas St, Kansas, Purdue, BYU, Cincinnati and Minnesota.

Sooooo.....Mason says he'll stake his reputation on this class.... A class that has only 18 players, only 3 4 star players and ranks 49th in the country. Considering what his reputation now is after his disastrous first year, I'd say that's just about right.

But but...they have the #1 recruiting class of teams that signed 18 players and if you looked at the Superbowl you would see that there were no 5 stars! Vandy got all the diamond 2 stars in the nation! Rahtards!

I have read that "no 5 stars in the Super Bowl" comment several times on their message board and tweets by Candy fans.

Last time I checked, they aren't playing for the Super Bowl. But, they will get as close to that as they will ever get to an SEC Championship.

The obvious response is: How many 5 stars were in the SECCG?

Here's the quote:

It's easy to get caught up in the euphoria of signing day however Vanderbilt's 2015 signing class rates 14 out of 14 in the SEC according to the composite rating. It really doesn't matter if we beat Purdue or Maryland or Kansas - that doesn't make us better in the SEC.

We also only signed 3 blue chips (4/5 star). Alabama and Auburn each signed 20 blue chips - they each signed more blue chips than our entire signing class. Tennessee nearly signed as many blue chips as we have total members in our signing class. That is what we are competing against.

Vanderbilt may have signed a good class in relation to its past 60 years, but it didn't sign a class that will move us into the upper tier of the SEC.

I'm surprised the post wasn't deleted and the poster banned for all time.

Now they're creating measurements to give their class a #1 ranking:

So with that system according to 247 we are only #4 taking into account every team that signed over 1 recruit but if you really start digging deep and crunching the numbers you'll see we are rated #1 with teams that signed 27 or more recruits.

On Vandymania, I'm not sure who screwed up and signed with these clowns but here's the commit breakdown. :eek:lol::eek:lol::eek:lol:

4 Star-1
3 Star-12
2 Star-5

Their 2015 class according to Rivals:

3 4-stars
10 3-stars
5 diamonds-in-the-rough

Breaking it down even further:

1. Josh Smith is their lone signee with an elite offer list.

2. Only 3 of their 18 signees held offers from other SEC schools: Smith, Sheffield (Ole Miss), and Pinkney (Florida and Kentucky)

3. 7 of their signees held no other offers from Power 5 conference schools

4. Of the 11 signees who did hold offers from Power 5 schools, about half only had offers from perennial bottom-feeders like Rutgers, Northwestern, and Virginia.

5. QB Kyle Shurmur, their second-highest rated signee, held only two other Power 5 offers (Illinois and Pitt).
