    Fall camp review, Curtis vs. Berlowitz, more

    Topics include: The overall team depth. It's hard to tell how backups settle at a lot of spots, particularly at defensive line, receiver and safety. Practices have been mostly clean. There are a few positional battles that could be up for grabs--and not just quarterback. A few guys who've really stood out, like corner Cayden Daniels. Will Vanderbilt put off naming a quarterback after Saturday's scrimmage? (That was the original target date.) And more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Will Jared Curtis start? The baseball roster is settled; more

    Topics include: Is Curtis the starter or is there a real battle between he and Blaze Berlowitz? Why hasn't there been more talk about Curtis in the mainstream Southeastern Conference football narrative? Vanderbilt, as expected, got James Tronstein through the draft; could he compete for a job right away? Former commitment David Hinojosa ended up committing to Wake Forest and surprisingly did not sign with the Reds. We count a 44-man roster, potentially. How will that work? Is Vanderbilt back to the elite tier of college baseball for next year? And more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Vanderbilt has a spectacularly-successful 2026 MLB Draft--and it might get better

    The Commodores got several truly elite high-school signees through the draft as recruiting coordinator Ty Blankmeyer did phenomenal work. But one player who was drafted, plus another elite signee who was picked, are both likely to be at Vanderbilt next season. There are two commonalities of schools that got players through the draft--and Vanderbilt has both. The importance of Designated Student Athletes to the roster. A look at what the lineup and pitching staff could look like. And more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Vanderbilt lands Gabe Nesmith and Shane Brinham; MLB Draft preview

    Topics include: Is Nesmith coming this year or next? What are the pros and cons of each? Brinham gives Vanderbilt the durable starter it lacked a year ago. How does he fit into the pitching plans? Vanderbilt has a slew of incoming recruits who may or may not be picked. We look at the big picture heading into the draft. And more.

    Topics include: Vanderbilt gets a huge flip of Louisville commitment Allen Evans. A discussion of recent safety commit Levi McKenzie. Texas tackle Jasper Ngokwere was another big recent get. A couple of Vanderbilt receiver commits have shut down their recruitment, as has Omarii Sanders. More about quarterback commitment Matthew Smith. Davion Crumitie is one of the country's fastest players. What lies next?     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    Topics include: Coombs, Brini and Ward figure to be immediate starters. Luke Guth has hit the transfer portal. How Vanderbilt could have more than 34 players on next year's roster.

    The transfer portal is open; how will that shape Vanderbilt baseball?

    Topics include: Current players in the portal include Carter Johnstone, Will Hampton, Jakob Schultz, Tristan Bristow, Miller Green and Hudson Barton. The foundation of the offense likely includes Brodie Johnston, Ryker Waite, Rustan Rigdon, Korbin Reynolds, Tommy Goodin and others. Wyatt Nadeau, Tyler Baird, Connor Hamilton, Nate Taylor, Aiden Stillman, Austin Nye, Matthew Shorey, England Bryan and others should form the start to a high-upside pitching staff (health permitting). What we think about whether draft prospects Connor Fennell, Braden Holcomb and Colin Barczi and whether they return or not. Vanderbilt has a phenomenal signing class that includes draft prospects Eric Booth, Luke Williams, Aiden Ruiz, James Tronstien, Keon Johnson, Noah Wilson, Sean Duncan, Joseph Contreras, Bo Holloway, Eli Herst, Keller Bradley and Hudson Alpert. Some will get to campus and others won't. Plus, the mailbag, which deals with Jared Curtis, athletic revenue and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
