Rivals 3* #62 OT
Scout 4* #29 OT
ESPN 3* #38 OG
247 3* #79 OT
6'5 270 really raw kid with a ton of potential, Jamaican and has only been playing football a few years at Carver HS in Georgia. Had an early offer from UGA that I'm sure was not commitable at this time but was hotly pursued by UNC, GA Tech, Stanford and several others.
84 in wingspan kind of kid that can develop into a draft pick in future years if he develops in a college strength and conditioning program well. Already has 24 hours of college credit so obviously a good student, really strong pickup for VU.
Crooks moves VU to #11 nationally in the team rankings on Rivals and up to #15 on Scout. No clue about 247 or ESPN though.

Good pickup for Vandy, for anyone really

28th on 247.
Franklin is putting together a very legit class. I honestly didn't think that he would stay. However the future looks very bright for Vandy if he truly does stick around for awhile.

28th? I wonder what the discrepancy in valuation is. Crooks should be a solid pick-up. Now we need McQuay and Wilkins to finish the class.

What James Franklin is doing at Vandy is unreal. He may be the best recruiter in the SEC.

Franklin is doing it rigt. Finding guys with ability no matter how raw and spending the time to develop them. Man I wish we could do that

McQuay and Wilkins

Leon McQuay III, Safety from Tampa. Honestly not sure who Wilkins is.

Pretty sure he's referring to Jordan Wilkins, 4-star RB from Cordova, TN. He's an Auburn commit that has been wavering after the coaching change, plus his brother is a walk-on receiver at VU.

Things had got so bad at Auburn when I hear about his injury I thought that meant he would be on of the recruits that stayed on the sinking ship with us.
Seems like his recruiting picked back pretty quick which means his injury is not a concern and I'm glad for him no matter what happens
