Date Posted: 20:36:02 01/15/14 Wed A couple of thoughts on the assistants that have gone public with their move: Rahne is the best recruiters you've never heard of. He has made Vanderbilt a major presence in the midwest and on the west coast. With PSU next to his name, he's going to really rise in the recruiting rankings over the next few years. He's a guy that outworks others on the recruiting trail. He's also, in my opinion, a really good coach. I expect that if Donovan moves on at some point Rahne would be elevated to OC. He has been the guy that Franklin has been molding. He played QB at Cornell and was one of their all-time record holders. I actually played against him in college and he could sling it. I don't think he has HC aspirations, but I'm betting he'll be a stud OC at some point, very possibly at PSU. Gattis is another rising star on the recruiting trail. Big personality guy, young, relatable, played at a high level in college at Wake Forest. He had the tough task of trying to bring Vandy elite talent out of south Florida and his biggest pickup was Jordan CUnningham. He also was given the Memphis public schools to recruit, and immediately made Vanderbilt a factor there, where they never really had been before. He's also a guy that helped develop Jordan Matthews and Chris Boyd into an elite pair of receivers. Boyd would've had a big year if not for his dismissal from the team prior to the season.
