Like Football, Vanderbilt Basketball Needs Talent Infusion
Talent is key in any sport, and the Vanderbilt Commodores football and men's basketball teams are prime examples of programs in need of more talent.
Now that the early signing period of college football has come and gone, only National Signing Day in February remains for head coach Derek Mason and his staff to finalize their latest class of new Commodores.
Jerry Stackhouse is in the midst of his first season as the head men's basketball coach at Vanderbilt, and he too is in need of a talent infusion when the time comes for high school basketball players to ink their names with their future schools.
With that in mind, it's time to take an early look at some of the current high school prospects who are interested in Stackhouse and the Commodores.
