Could Vanderbilt basketball be a Final Four contender in 2026-27?

Vince Wolfram is joined by Joey Dwyer of Vandy on SI to break down a Vanderbilt roster that enters the new season with enormous expectations after the return of All-American guard Tyler Tanner.

The guys discuss Tanner's development and NBA potential, Ace Glass and T.O. Barrett joining the backcourt, Sebastian Williams-Adams, Bangot Dak and Vanderbilt's dramatically improved size in the frontcourt, the freshman class, Mark Byington's upgraded coaching staff and the players who could emerge as breakout stars.

Vanderbilt may have more size, depth, ball handling and talent than any Commodores team of the Mark Byington era — but there is one major question that could determine how far this group goes in March: does Vanderbilt have enough shooting?

Could the Commodores contend near the top of the SEC and make a deep NCAA Tournament run?
