The Vanderbilt Commodores and head coach Kevin Stallings had gotten off to a slow start in recruiting for their 2016 basketball class. Now, they have finally picked up their first commitment. Payton Willis, a three-star guard, has decided to join the Vanderbilt basketball program to continue his playing career.
