The Vanderbilt Commodores pulled off the rare triple steal against Lipscomb on Tuesday, and the crew made it look pretty easy. Watch it here.

From the looks of it, Vanderbilt's coach James Franklin took to Twitter in a rather confrontational manner to express disappointment in Rivals four-star running back Jalen Hurd committing to in-state rival Tennessee over Vanderbilt (and 13 other schools) on Thursday. Franklin tweeted...

"No 1 can offer combination of attributes we can,no 1,best of both worlds,if u want 2 settle in life this probably isn't place 4 u anyway!'

While Franklin didn’t call out Hurd by name, the timing of his post suggests that it was directed at the junior from Hendersonville, TN.

While speaking at a Georgia high school, Vanderbilt coach James Franklin tackled Nick Saban in the most James Franklin way possible. He talked about how he’s going to “outwork him” each and everyday, but also referred to the Crimson Tide coach as “Nicky Satan” casually. You can watch the video here.

Brandon Vandenburg, the nation's No. 1 junior college tight end and No. 10 prospect in the ESPN Junior College 100, committed to Vanderbilt on Saturday night. The 6-foot-6, 260-pound College of the Desert (Calif.) tight end, originally out of Xavier Prep in Palm Desert, Calif., knew that this time around he wanted to position himself at a place where he could have the best chance to succeed on and off the field. During an official visit to Vanderbilt this weekend, he found it.

"Only a few schools can compete with Vandy on an academic and football level," Vandenburg said. "Out of those schools, Vanderbilt has the most stable coaching staff, which is important. No other school had the combination of those three things."

Vandenburg held offers from schools such as Arkansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, Mississippi and Texas A&M.
