Fred Van Vleet a Shocker Star

[Shocker Mama]

That has to be the best 42 seconds of basketball I have ever seen. I've watched it enough to have it memorized. And you are right -- most young guys would have taken a swing at Jackie Carmichael, but Cotton just played that much harder.

[WSUwatcher]

And to think that Doug "The Tool" Gottlieb says that Fred is the weak link of our starters, thinking he's too slow and short. Thinks the big school points will make him nervous. I don't think Dougie has seen enough of our Fred, but he's so arrogant and dismissive it makes me puke. Fred is the real deal, I told my son last year that Fred was the real deal, and he has proven me right. Gottlieb couldn't carry Freds dirty jock, he's not worthy

FVV didn't seem scared or nervous when he helped finish off the mighty Aaron Craft's Buckeyes last year, and that was as a freshman backup who has improved quite a bit since. I suspect that a lot of little Dougie's big schools would gladly trade for WSU's "weak link" if they could at this point.

This says it all

A stat im surprised never gets thrown out there, FVV has never lost a game as a starter (34-0)

[bunck]

I just noticed that Fred has the same number of turnovers as he had last year (46), he's already played 448 more minutes than last year and also has 90 more assists.

Wow. That's about 15 games at 30 minutes per games.

Every time I see one of those insane FVV stats I automatically think "what a liability." Does this mean Gottlieb has won?
