Under-the-radar recruit: Vanderbilt Commodores

Related Topics: Radar

Honestly, you could look at just about anyone in this class and think that he is an under-the-radar recruit. Compared to most of the other SEC classes, Vanderbilt's didn't exactly hit on a lot of what many consider blue-chip prospects.

Only defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo was listed as a four-star by ESPN's RecruitingNation. Now, coaches don't care about stars, but players get golden objects placed near their names because of scouting placed on top of more scouting. So there is some sort of rhyme and reason to this whole process.

With that said, Derek Mason is pretty excited about the makeup of this class, especially from an athletic standpoint.
