Vanderbilt added 26 players from 10 different states on Wednesday and Thursday. A breakdown of the Commodores’ “target zone” is below:
Georgia = 7 recruits
Florida = 4
Tennessee = 4
California = 3
Alabama = 2
Illinois = 2
Colorado = 1
Kentucky = 1
New Jersey = 1
Virginia = 1
In-State Signees = 15.3%
Out-Of-State Signees = 84.6%
Observation:
Vanderbilt’s academics standards require the Commodores to recruit nationally. James Franklin’s successes on and off the field have clearly made that job easier now than ever before. Like most SEC squads, Vandy’s first turn outside its home state is toward Georgia and Florida.
