Fred VanVleet is a Shocker!!

[RampageWSU]

I've noticed that when you check out the Shockers page on ESPN, it seems Fred's rating has gone up. Last I remember, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, his rating was at 89 matching Mr. Hawkins. Now our page states Fred is rated at 92, but when you click on Fred's name, he scores out 91. Just a slight bummer at first to me, but then I checked the 2012 ESPNU Top 50 Point Guards list and Fred is ranked the 17th best point guard in the nation, right behind the first 4 star on the list, Maurice Watson at a rating of 92.

Beat me to it buddy... I was just gonna mention that. If you believe the ranking system, there is very little difference between the 9th and 17th pg in the country.

92-93: High-major minus prospect
Player has the potential to significantly contribute to a high-major program over four years.

Boom.

Fred Van Vleet (Rockford, Ill./Auburn)
PG, 5-11, 175 pounds
College: Wichita State
Good things are in store for the Shockers as Van Vleet is a true point guard who brings excellent ballhandling, passing skills and court vision to the MVC.

I would expect Brauer level freshman minutes for Fred. Not too shabby. DWill is better in Marshall's system than AdLib in Turgeon's.

Fred only had 7points in an 82-44 victory last night. Considering Auburn was ahead 24-2 at the end of the first quarter and 49-19 at halftime, I suspect his minutes were limited.

Ugly.

Ricardo ... I have to disagree with your Thomas Jefferson quote about games played with the ball. Games played with the ball develop a lot of character, even for the mind.

Yes... I was at FVV game. It was a blow out from the start. Fred just dished all night let his teammates have the glory. I think he did not even play that much in the 4Q.. FVV's team(auburn) does have a big week ahead. On friday they play Rockford jefferson they should blow them out. But, on saturaday they play at home vs hononegah this is the team that beat auburn early in the year. This will be a big game here, place will be packed. This game will most likely decide the conference championship....

I did not mean to convey the notion that I agree with the quote because I do not.

My purpose of posting the quote about ball play was to amuse readers. If President Jefferson saw NFL football today, he would be horrified.

He would like the cheerleaders, though!
