⚓️ Special day for our program.
We invited our all-time leading scorer, Shan Foster, to practice to tell him his number 32 would be retired.

All those who were criticizing
@jerrystackhouse
last month, please refrain from commenting about coaching in the future. 20 win season, 10-1 in last 11 games, and Co-COY. Put Some Respect On His Name!!!

📷 THANK YOU just doesn’t do it justice. I’m speechless, overwhelmed, grateful, and blessed. The love was felt by my entire family.

I love you with my whole heart. Commodore Nation, I LOVE YOU! And to all...

#VandyUnited
I’m so happy and proud of you
@spippenjr
for how you’ve grown, developed, and become the best PG in the country.
@VandyMBB
will always be home for you. Go be great bro!!!
Proud of
@VandyMBB
and
@jerrystackhouse
for their fight. It’s hard to win a 5 point game when the refs hand them 6 free throws for 3 consecutive techs. This is why it should be a requirement for refs to have played the sport collegiately!
📷 I miss you so much. As much as we talked, we never talked about basketball, but the man I am today is deeply indebted to you. I always wanted to make you proud. Never wanted you to be disappointed in me. I hope you knew how much I love...
Never in the history of basketball has any bought a basketball game ticket and said to themselves, “I can’t wait to see the calls these refs make!” This is ridiculous!!!
"A guy that I feel like really represents who we are and what we do."
⚓️ At our team dinner last night,
@jerrystackhouse
announced that
@drewweikert10
is our newest scholarship student-athlete.
Congrats, Drew‼️
#AnchorDown
Thankful to everyone who reached out privately in support the last 48hrs confirming that loud does not mean majority. I truly believe talking things out produces peace and progress. Maybe wrong, but until God gives me a different revelation, I’ll continue loving people! 🙏🏾❤️⚓️

Thanks for drafting me to the

@VandyFootball
just as we have sense 2004.
Unfortunately this is where the season ends. Let’s take some time to rest, recover, recharge, before preparing our minds, body, spirit, and skillsets for next year. I believe our best days are ahead. We have the best school, conference, and city. Our turn!
@VandyMBB
I’m still in awe that this is happening. If you’ve ever cheered, rebounded, passed the ball, gave advice, listened, held me accountable, or welcomed me with open arms, THANK YOU. You made this happen.

Why do folks act like we can’t walk and chew gum simultaneously? Saying gun laws are a problem in the US doesn’t mean it’s the only problem worth addressing with mass shootings. Stop being divisive just bc of free speech. Both/And vs Either/Or leads to solutions!

I will never say whether
@VandyAD
should fire a coach or not. Not my role. I fully support whatever decision she makes. And I’ll support the coaches she hires.
Congratulations to my brother and friend,
@DrewMaddux
Not only does he win, but he’s making a huge difference in the lives of the kids and families he encounters. Drew is a great father, husband, son, and man. Thanks for being the example!
Wishing MT the best in the future, but I couldn’t be more excited for
@CandiceLee78
. She’s a proven leader, expert in collegiate sports, and no one will have more loyalty and understanding of what it takes to be successful at Vanderbilt. You have my FULL support!
As someone who can personally appreciate the value of Vanderbilt's unique student-athlete experience, I can say that we are building on a legacy of excellence and achievement -- in athletics and academics. I am excited to work with our coaches, staff and student-athletes.
When are we going to talk about the fact that politicians and judges are not acting in the best interest of the citizens of the United States? Aren’t they supposed to be an extension of us, and not their own interest? Am I wrong?
If I died today, 95% of the things that upset me would be irrelevant. I’m letting stuff go. God has never failed me. Whatever He allows has always blessed me. That won’t stop today.
#LetItGo

#TrustGod
Last thing, then I hope to see y’all tomorrow night vs UGA. Let’s be passionate, vigilant, unwavering, and even bullish in our pursuit of excellence. But never forget that we are better united than we are divided. Love yall.

Minnesota got a beast💯 He made the SEC feel his presence for 4 years. One year as a LB & 3 years as an every down RB was impressive but to add 2 Bowls, 3 years as ST Captain, Academic Honors &🤔 2019 Arthur Ashe Jr. Award Winner...Wow🔥(I’m out of breath) SALUTE

Can someone do the research on public scrutiny in coaching? I’d love to see the data aggregated by race. For example, what was the public opinion about Roy Williams vs Hubert Davis during periods with similar records. Asking for a friend.
David Williams is a big reason why I chose, graduated, and still support
@VanderbiltU
. He promised my family he’d take care of me and make me a better man. Lived up to every word. I’m eternally grateful! Thank you!
BREAKING: David Williams, historical figure and Vanderbilt’s first African American vice chancellor, stepping down as vice chancellor and athletics director.
📷 Last night I dreamed of playing one more year with
@vandymbb
. Spent 3 weeks doing workouts, conditioning, learning the system, but most importantly building camaraderie with the team. From jokes in the locker room, eating at training...
Bitter sweet last
@vandymbb
game on the call this season. Tough loss, but enjoyed working with the crew and seeing friends. Now it’s time to cheer on my lil brothers from the stands. LET’S GOOO!!!
#AnchorDown
Proud of
@VandyAD
and
@VandyMBB
for a GREAT hire.
@jerrystackhouse
Welcome to Nashville. Faith. Family. Process. All things I heard in today’s press conference. No short cuts, just commitment to the process. I’m ready for tip-off!

@shanfoster_32
is the best. Ever. He ran down into the crowd at the end of regulation (in the white hoodie)
@VandyMBB
’s all-time leading scorer and the absolute best person
As for the fan negativity, I’ve had coaches reach out to me personally to ask why fans are treating
@jerrystackhouse
this way publicly? Regardless of the validity, it hurts the attractiveness of the program to potential new hires and recruits.
My foundation will always be to support Vanderbilt,
@VandyAD
the current coaching staff, and student athletes. While I don’t make excuse for losses, I equally don’t believe coaching changes are always the solution, especially considering current conditions.
