ESPN has updated there recruiting ratings and it appears that FVV is now the highest rated for 2012 of all current MVC commits(tied with Kirk of MSU).
Grade 89
3 stars
#26 rated PG
Looks like his early summer commit to WSU didn't hurt his evaluation to bad.

Lots of good talk about him in that article.Simply put, VanVleet is a point guard extraordinaire.it is easy to see why they made VanVleet a top recruiting priority from the moment that they first laid eyes on him. We see VanVleet as being a recruiting steal for the Shockers and he currently ranks as our #2 player in Illinois from the class of 2012.
:good: :good:Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

Great handles. Sees the court exceptionally well. Has a killer crossover!
Two questions:
1) Can he hit the 3 at a high percentage (stroke makes me think he can)?
2) Will those great passes get through a Valley D at that speed? They're a little soft.Livin the dream

VanVleet stands by Wichita State
Atlanta Celtics summer basketball coach DeWayne Jackson watched Fred VanVleet carry Pryme Tyme to upset after upset.
Impressive, but Jackson also paid close attention to VanVleet's behavior off the court. VanVleet, a senior point guard from Rockford, Ill., orally committed to Wichita State in July. Then he stuck with the Shockers even as his reputation grew and high-profile schools made inquiries.
"He's at a tournament at Minneapolis and I see him wearing a Wichita State shirt," Jackson said. "That kid will tell anybody he's committed to Wichita State because that was the first school that recruited him. To be able to get a kid like that to stay loyal after he started getting a lot of recognition... that story about him is a better one than any you could tell."VanVleet, from Auburn High, spent all summer raising his game. He proved he can make jump shots. He continued to prove he can run a team with more maturity and efficiency than most point guards. Pryme Tyme coach Anthony Cornell said he took calls from coaches at schools such as Stanford and Michigan wanting to know how solid VanVleet's commitment stood.
"He told all of them, 'I'm not into that,' " Cornell said."Fred can pinpoint and pick out the weak spots in a defense," Cornell said. "They're making checkers moves, and he's making chess moves."
