Putting up the Bat-signal

[BrentVU]

Keep an eye on this one...

The No. 1 rising senior in Oklahoma is RB Kaydin "Batman" Jones from the powerhouse Jenks program (from which Vanderbilt signed uber-fast WR Kayleb Barnett last season)... Jones holds offers from Tennessee, Oklahoma, Oregon, Colorado, Nebraska, and many others... Vanderbilt has been on him hard; a trio of VU coaches, Clark Lea, Tim Beck, and Ghaali Muhammad_Lankford flew to Oklahoma to visit him in school in January, a rare trifecta...

Jones has said online that he plans to announce his commitment on March 26, one week from today... and he's in Nashville, evidently to visit the Commodores' Thursday practice session... he has visited campus before (he was in attendance at the Tennessee game last season)...

If Vanderbilt could land Jones... holy recruiting momentum, Batman!

McCreary received his offer today (Thursday)...

Thursday was a day for handing out offers to invited visitors, and Braylen Gibbs, a 6-2 175 rising junior WR/DB from Knoxville Catholic got one...

[BrentVU]

And now, Caden Harris, the DB from Brownsville Haywood whom Vandy has been all over, says decision time is getting near for him also...

This is another guy that VU has been all over, and has gotten personal visits from Clark Lea... he's ranked the No. 4 player in Tennessee by On3...

Getting EITHER ONE of these Cadens/Kaydens would be a big boost for recruiting... getting both of them would give the Class of 2026 a whole new outlook!

You can't give info on any athlete without giving their size. How big is Batman Jones. NM 5'11" 170 lbs.

[BrentVU]

Take a look at the graphics the staff prepared for him on his visit... pretty cool!




For Nashmann, best I can tell he's about 5-10 175.

And here was his latest tweet after his visit...

[VUPKS]

We need the Batman! Would be instant top 5 Vandy nickname.

Batman’s decision comes Wednesday at 4pm, and a local station will stream it…

The five finalists are Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Vanderbilt (note the alphabetical order he puts them in)...
