Never a doubt. The cat can ball. We're in for a real treat with Vander.

Congrats Van... Great experience to have.

Interesting to see that James Bell (Jamail Jones' HS teammate and Nova commit) didn't make the cut.

Great news, and really happy for Vander. His defensive focus sounds like a great asset. Hopefully they can win gold! Go USA and go VB!

And did anyone else see the trite Badger comments at the end? Sore losers

I really like the comments from Blue about his commitment to be a lockdown defender.   Sounds like somebody wants serious PT the minute he sets foot on campus.
