[Wareagle]

Per the Capital Times, Vander Blue just committed to UW.

Nice get.  He's a nice player.  UW-madison has their 2009 class done and now almost their 2010 class as well.

Blue said that he has been a Wisconsin fan his whole life. "I like Devin Harris, I like Trevon Hughes. And Bo Ryan, from me talking to him myself, I think he's a really nice guy. He's not fake. He's always been real to me," he said.

Was this a jab at Tom Crean?

Yeah, that's what I thought too.  A little above that quote the article reads:

"Blue's mother, Rita Blue, said her son was also considering Indiana (Voldemort), Marquette (Buzz) and Kentucky (Gillispie)."

I can't imagine Vander formulated that strong of an opinion of Buzz or Billy by the time he committed, so that leaves the tan one...

Very perceptive kid.

Yes...I am sure a 17 yo kid was taking a jab at Crean when he was announcing his school choice.  C'mon...don't be too MU-centric here.

I will be rooting for the kid every time he's running that incredibly overrated swing offense against IU

[BrewCity83]

As long as Ratface is coaching there, I don't think I'll ever root for UW-Moscow to beat anybody.

[HarveysWallbangers]

Did Crean show up at midnight at the kid's house with a red and white limo?

Is that the kid of fake we're talking about?

Nick Williams committed to MU after his So yr.

+1!

[jficke13]

Ratface? Nah... Bo Ryan looks like a vampire.

[ecompt]

exactly. Bo will star is "The Bela Lugosi Story." I'm hoping he and the tanned one collide at full speed on the sidelines of the first IU vs. UW-Leningrad game.

[IAmMarquette]

Wait a minute...

this kid's name is VANDER. BLUE.

As in, first name VANDER, last name BLUE?

Wow...

[Coobeys Oil Depot]

I've never heard of this kid.

You probably wouldn't if you don't live in Wisconsin now.  Sophomore guard who helped lead Madison Memorial to the state final this year.  Many say he's a better prospect than Wes Mathews, Jr. was at the time.

I think the only 2010 prospect ranked higher at this point is Evan Anderson of Eau Claire North...possibly Flavien Davis of Wisconsin Lutheran.
