QB - A-. White will be a good college QB, but lacks the pure athleticism of other top end guys out there.
RB - A(assuming pettway makes it in). Roc is an unreal talent, and pettway has tons of potential.
WR - A. DQ is a potential 1st rounder immediate impact guy and is an EE. Signed some decent high school prospects as well, but will need time to develop.
OL - B+. Only signed one high school OL, but no real need for more b/c of our current depth. Braden Smith is a freak and has great work ethic. A potential three or four year starter after a RS year. Dampier is a JUCO center who has time to develop to fill Dismukes role.

You forgetting about Dampeer?

Best class we've signed in 10+ years. It's deep, and it fills positions of need. It definitely addresses our defensive woes, as it features 12 ****s on that side of the ball.
The only thing it's missing is a QB, but the staff didn't feel like there were any feasible prospects out there worth taking.

Since, with only a couple exceptions, everybody seems to think their entire class rates the Honor Roll, I'll do a few of our positions. I'm concerned about rating them too high or too low, but my criteria are essentially a mixture of "typical Vandy expectations" and "overall SEC-quality expectations." So take with a grain of salt. Going off confirmed LOIs...
QB: B This grade is based more on options and potential than on top-flight talent. I like Wade Freebeck and think he could actually be pretty good. He has very good mechanics and doesn't get easily rattled. He's probably our future QB from this class. Shaun Stankavage is from Cardinal Gibbons, which has a pretty decent track record in turning out football players. Not spectacular, but decent. That said, from what I've seen of Stankavage, he's okay. Not particularly excited about him, but we could definitely do worse. I'm not sure what to make of Ronald Monroe, or how the new staff will use him, but I suspect he'll be tested in various skill positions before they settle on one, which may or may not be QB. But probably won't be.
RB: C I might be going a little high here because Dallas Rivers isn't really a top RB prospect. He's more of a do-anything sort because of his athleticism. I like him, though, and he could prove to be a good yardage every-down back
WR: C+ This was a hard one. Caleb Scott is a baller, but he's not overly athletic. He's tall enough to snag lots of passes and has excellent instincts. I'm happy with him, as I am with Ladarius Wiley, who is wriggly enough to avoid tackles. I honestly don't know much about Rashad Canty, I admit
OL: B- A couple strong bodies here in Cole Hardin and Bruno Reagan (though I think Reagan will ultimately be better suited on defense.) I'm happy about the Bailey Granier pick up.
DE: B+ Nifae Lealao is obviously the crown jewel of this class overall. I mean, you can't go wrong with a Samoan tackling runners, right? Right? Stop laughing, Bama fans. Just...hush. Then we have a group of 3 stars and, unlike many people here, I'm actually going to admit I don't know much about them. But they do provide good depth after Lealao, who is probably the best recruit ever to sign with Vandy.
S: B+ We signed a solid group here, probably the best position recruiting in this class overall. I really like Emmanuel Smith. He's a bruiser of a safety. Not a ballhawk or a speedster, but he has nice skills and the mass to handle an SEC line-up. Trent Sherfield is pretty damned good too, and has great instincts in the open field. Tre Tarpley and Khari Blasingame round out the group and give it some solid quality depth.
CB: B I like our corners. Tre Herndon is going to surprise some people with his instincts, and Bryce Lewis is solid all around. I have no complaints in this area. We're going to have a pretty good secondary overall in a couple years.
Bet nobody thought anyone would do an in-depth personal analysis of Vandy's class.
