Tyrin Lawrence - Logs 16 minutes in start Lawrence notched four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 91-72 victory over Alabama State.
Impact While Lawrence was cleared from a knee injury and got the start, he saw less minutes than any other Vanderbilt starter (and even fewer minutes than a few reserves) in the lopsided victory. Sharing a backcourt with Scotty Pippen is always going to limit his upside a bit, as the high-scoring guard is expected to dominate the usage for the Commodores this season.

Tyrin Lawrence - Starting season opener Lawrence (knee) is in the starting five Wednesday against Alabama State, Chad Bishop of VUCommodores.com reports.
Impact Lawrence will open the season in the starting five with Rodney Chatman set to be sidelined until December with a knee injury. Lawrence averaged 2.9 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.7 minutes as a freshman last season, but he's poised for a larger role during the 2021-22 campaign.

Liam Robbins - Suffers setback Robbins (foot) suffered a bit of a setback and is out indefinitely, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact It was already determined that Robbins would miss the season opener, but now it sounds like the senior is at risk for missing more upcoming games. Quentin Millora-Brown and Terren Frank are options in the frontcourt that could see more minutes while Robbins is sidelined.

Vandy welcomes Alabama St. in 2021-22 season opener
Vanderbilt begins its season by hosting the Alabama State HornetsNOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Liam Robbins - Will miss season opener Robbins (foot) will not play in the season opener next week against Alabama State, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Robbins is on track according to head coach Jerry Stackhouse, but he has not committed to a specific return time. Once healthy, Robbins should be a big presence for Vanderbilt.

Rodney Chatman - Sidelined 4-6 weeks Chatman (lower body) will miss 4-to-6 weeks after suffering a knee injury during a scrimmage, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Based on that timetable, Chatman would be looking at an early December return at the earliest. The senior point guard seemed likely to hold a key rotational role for Vandy this season but will have a delayed start to the campaign and will likely be limited initially once he's cleared to play.

Liam Robbins - Not expected full-go to open season Robbins (foot) should be back fully practicing by the first week of November and will likely be full-go by the third week of November, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Robbins was still limited during practice Wednesday and apparently will remain that way over the next week or so. It doesn't appear as though he will be ready for a full workload to open the season, though it's possible the big man could handle a limited role off the bench.

Liam Robbins - Still limited in practice Robbins (foot) remains limited at practice, Robbie Weinstein of 247Sports reports.
Impact Robbins still has a couple of weeks to get up to speed ahead of the regular season, so his limited participation shouldn't be too worrisome at this point. It will be worth keeping tabs on how his participation level progresses over the next week or two, however.

Pippen expects Vandy to compete, 'didn't come back to lose'
Scotty Pippen Jr. has returned to Vanderbilt for his junior season and says he didn’t come back to loseOCTOBER 21, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scotty Pippen - Named SEC Preseason POY Pippen was named the 2021-22 SEC Preseason Player of the Year on Tuesday.
Impact Pippen could have gone pro after an outstanding sophomore season, but ultimately elected to return as Vanderbilt's chief scorer once again. HIs 20.8 ppg average from a season ago is the highest mark of any returning power-conference player, and he achieved that with an efficient 42.8 percent shooting, along with 4.9 dimes per contest. Despite that success, however, Vanderbilt is still projected to finish as a bottom-2 team in the conference. Joining Pippen on the preseason all-SEC first team are Jaden Shackelford (Alabama), Jahvon Quinerly (Alabama), Colin Castleton (Florida), Sahvir Wheeler (Kentucky) and Iverson Molinar (Mississippi State).

Liam Robbins - To begin ramping up next week Coach Jerry Stackhouse relayed Thursday that Robbins (foot) will begin ramping up his basketball activities next week, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact The initial prognosis for Robbins from just over a week ago was that he should be back in a few weeks, so his progress next week should be a telling sign on that front. If he can avoid setbacks, Robbins should have a good chance to take the floor for the Nov. 10 opener versus Alabama State.

Liam Robbins - Expected to be back in a few weeks Robbins (foot) is expected to return to the court in a few weeks, Aria Gerson of The Tennessean reports.
Impact The team wants to be very careful with its prized transfer from Minnesota. With this estimated timetable, Robbins should be good to return from the first regular season game. He should immediately start at center for Vandy.

Liam Robbins - Doesn't participate in pro day Robbins (ankle) did not participate in a recent Vanderbilt pro day, Robbie Weinstein of 247 Sports reports.
Impact Robbins missed the last six games of his junior season at Minnesota with what was described as an ankle injury, but it's not immediately clear whether the two issues are related. It could simply be a load management issue for the 7-0 senior, who is currently expected to step in and take over as the starting center, filling the shoes of Clevon Brown and Dylan Disu. Hopefully, more clarity will emerge prior to the team's Nov. 10 opener against Alabama State.
