19. VanderbiltNumber of verbal commitments: 7
Key recruit: Johnathon McCraryStill on the board: Cornelius ElderNext year's name to know: Akeem CooperwoodFreshman to follow: Rico McGrawComment:
Vanderbilt opened eyes around the SEC after landing Brian Kimbrow last
year, and similarly caused a stir by securing a verbal from McCrary, one
of the nation's top dual-threat quarterbacks. Ranking in the nation's
Top 20 classes is definitely an achievement, but to truly compete (and
have success) in the SEC, James Franklin knows he'll have to do even
better.
