Anchor Drop, November 10, 2022: Signing Day Recap

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Yesterday was the beginning of the early signing period for, well, every sport that isn’t football, and four Vanderbilt teams have announced their signing classes, which I suspect means that everybody who was expected to sign already has: men’s and women’s basketball, lacrosse, and men’s golf.

And speaking of the women’s basketball team, they’ll have their home opener tonight against Samford. Tipoff is at 6:30 PM CT on the SEC Network+.

Also, the USMNT announced its roster for the World Cup, which starts later this month, and just another reminder that having the World Cup in Qatar was a really, really stupid idea, so much so that even Sepp Blatter admits it now.
