4* R250/4* 247 LB Josh Smith who had a bunch of offers & high 3* ILB Caleb Peart from Arizona who chose VU over offers from Arizona, Arizona St, Cal, Northwestern, Utah and a few others.

Josh Smith is really, really good. Every school in America would be happy to have him.

It took Mason a bit to rebound and get the momentum rolling but I think he has done a solid job so far. He was hired on Jan 17th after Franklin torpedoed the class and it fell down to 8 commits and ranked in the 100s. In 3 weeks he got it all the way back up to no.45 in the composite, not great but not a disaster like it could have been.

2015 recruiting had been a bit slow but momentum seems to be turning, kinda sucks we only have 15 spots. Next year we will only have 12 Franklin RS a ton of kids which should benefit Mason in the long run.

It's been slow because Franklin has been poaching players he recruited at Vandy, players we were establishing a relationship with. In general, I don't begrudge him; that is, I don't think it's some huge moral failure. But it's probably a bit unethical if for no other reason than Vandy money paid for him to establish connections with these recruits, so, in a way, he's kind of cheating Vandy out of that money.

3* ILB Caleb Peart


He seemed to have started as a SO at DE at Chandler Hamilton. CHandler Hamilton is the best school historically in Arizona and a pipeline of talent to the Pac12 from the Phoenix Metro area (Chandler is a suburb next to Arizona St)


I think he is going to be a nice surprise for a 3*

Peart has played DE in HS (and has been evaluated at that spot by the services). He camped at VU in June and worked at ILB and did a good job, actually offered him over 2 4*s at the camp in CJ Stalker and Reagan Williams.

At Hamilton this year the plan is to have him play DE and LB about 50/50
