Vanderbilt basketball among finalists for five-star prospects Simi Shittu, Darius Garland

Posted Oct 12, 2017
How good could Vanderbilt basketball’s recruiting class be? Very good. Easily one of the Commodores’ best ever. But the gap between second-year coach Bryce Drew landing a pretty strong class and a best-ever class could lie in the upcoming decisions of a pair of five-star prospects, Simi Shittu and Brentwood Academy’s Darius Garland, who count Vanderbilt among their final choices.
