Originally posted by tropicalshoxYou always need to have concern about early commits. That's one reason recruiting is never over, even after a verbal. However, in today's world, this really isn't very early. Fred seems very committed and happy with WSU. I don't have much worry.

Be confident with the program, the coaches, and the player. All of which are hovering near the top of the basketball world. FVV is a great player, and seems to be a great young man. Unlike so many players who constantly have their heads pumped up with helium from everyone around them, he seems to be very grounded, and Coach Ford and Coach Marshall has shown confidence in him from an early stage in his recruitment, and to someone like FVV, I think that speaks volumes. I don't think he's going to be the type of player to get offers from the BCS big boys, and jump ship. I think he embraces the fact he doesn't get a lot of press, and it makes him work even harder. He handled himself very well in his interview and I don't think we have anything to worry about. We should embrace the fact he will go up in the rankings and it will give WSU some press on having a great recruiting class. How great would it be to have one of the top 10, or 5 PG's in the country?

If you watched the video of Fred against Indiana Elite, you saw what players like Yogi Ferrell bring to the table. They have skills, quickness and very high upside. That is what the "big boys" are looking for. A player like Van Vleet isn't as valuable to them because they will surely bring in other high-level players to complement guys like Ferrell. Van Vleet isn't a flashy, blow by his defender type of player, so he isn't going to stick out when Ferrell and his ilk are on the floor.
From one of the online accounts of his commitment:
But unlike other high school hot shots, Van Vleet wasn't interested in running a recruiting circus and looking for the highest level possible. Kudos to Van Vleet for his level-headed ways and going through a process that others should think about following.
Van Vleet bonded with Ford. "The past two months me and him have built a strong relationship without him blowing me up all the time. I know I am going into a great situation and he will be like a big brother to me. Just the confidence he has in me and the trust we've built played a big part in my decision," said Van Vleet.
Furthermore, Van Vleet could have jumped to a more elite AAU team with a shoe deal but chose to stay loyal to Pryme Tyme.
I see nothing here that makes me worry he will jump ship. He wants to play for coach Ford and is excited to join Shocker Nation. Let's enjoy the ride, fellas!
