Vote for Fred VanVleet for Illinois Mr Basketball

[1972Shocker]

I voted once, but I am open to being corrupted but I am holding out for the best quid pro quo I can get.

If you are voting Chicago style you simply don't give your vote(s) away for nothing.

Might be a good idea to make this a sticky...if it goes till March.

I just voted. The Shocker nation is making its voice heard, Fred has 88% of the vote right now!

Yep. Time to get busy Shocker fans. FVV now only has 51% of the vote to 44% for Aaron Simpson.

Yeah, someone has a macro (or 2) going for Mr. Simpson. Someone smarter than I (that doesn't take much) needs to set one up or it will be 20k to 6k in the morning.

An organized voting attack in support of Aaron Simpson is underway and he is gaining fast on FVV. Within 300 votes now.

And Aaron Simpson takes the lead. It was about 1 on 10 and I just couldn't hold them off.

Hey we need everyone's help! Fred is slipping behind.

That sucks

[Kung Wu]

Relaaaaaax.

[shox1989]

Hey, Kung Wu knows of which he speaks. Fred just took the lead again.

[Aargh]

It's not just SN voting for Fred. FVVis up to 61% now. No votes being added for Simpson, but every time I voted I noticed about 5 more votes for FVV.

The official policy of SN is to not use any auto click programs to make sure FVV doesn't get eliminated because of auto clicks.

I don't think this vote will determine who wins Mr. Illinois. It appears to be an opinion poll being taken by something resembling a blogger.

Looks like a couple of server farms may be going at it.

[shock]

FVV 33,000+
Aaron Simpson 7700

Not much of a contest anymore. FVV is coasting to victory with a steady 100 vpm.

That's correct. As stated in the article, "After voting 7 scouts from the following outlets ChicagoHoops.com, IlPrepBullsEye.com, Swagair.com, SlamOnline.com, HardHoopsNews.com, Gymratinsider.com, and City/Suburban Hoops Report will vote as a committee on the HardHoopsNews.com Illinois Mr. Basketball. Illinois Mr. Basketball will be announced March 3rd, 2012."

IMO Fred does have a good chance to win if they elect to pick a senior. Jabari Parker, who is a junior is arguably the best player in the nation regardless of class.
