Two Vanderbilt recruits have switched commitments to Penn State less than a day after Franklin announced as coach. DE Lloyd Tubman and OT Chance Sorrell. Both are 3*.

Not surprising...a lot of these kids commit to coaches more so than schools IMO

Penn State just offered former Vandy commits Michael Sawyers and Emmanuel Smith too.

You not follow him at all? He is a piece of shite. He's been working on this for a while. Then again, taking his 3 stars to penn state isn't really shocking the world...

He's like the mixed version of Lane Kiffin.

I really don't bother myself with the inner workings of the least fearsome team in the SEC, but thanks.. i guess he's just generally a shitty person

I was reading the Vandy 247 board and honestly I'm a little surprised that a lot of their fans believed that these recruits were committing to the school and not Franklin. They seem shocked they would follow him.

Obviously these record breaking classes were due to the coach and much like many could have predicted, their recruiting class is falling apart quickly without him.

He's not mixed. He's black. This has been discussed at length.

He's not mixed and he's a winner on the field.

I haven't noticed any James Franklin racial makeup threads. My mistake.

You have to be a little bit of a dick to be successful at this level.

Franklin won 24 games in 3 years at Vandy and finished ranked twice

Kiffin won 28 games in 5 years at Tenn and USC and finished ranked once.



Little bro Tennessee wishes they had that success.

I never knew how much every Vandy fan apparently hated James Franklin. Odd, it's like no one ever mentioned it before he was entertaining an offer from another school.

Those of us that are starting to dislike Franklin are not upset he left. It's the fact that every sign points to him basically trying to flip every Vandy commit to PSU. The bad part for him that it's supposed to be a recruiting dead period. Not sure what the rules are exactly...but I would bet he's breaking some.

Anyway, here's a list of Vanderbilt recruiting changes that have occurred today. This is mostly compiled from Chris Smith's work for the Vanderbilt 247 page. Also, I had not seen anything about Michael Sawyers being offered by PSU, so he's not on this list.

Offered:
Emmanuel Smith (offered by PSU)
Amani Oruwariye (offered by PSU)

Decommits:
Jashon Robertson (offered by PSU)
Lloyd Tubman (flipped to PSU)
Chance Sorrel (flipped to PSU)
KJ Carta-Samuels
Mikale Wilbon
Bailey Granier
Trent Sherfield

ETA: Had made a mistake in listing Amani Oruwariye and Emmanuel Smith as decommits.
