I think RDF mentioned him saying he said he'd visit in the spring.
Grae can he stroke it or was more of a slashing/to the cup 31 pts.

ID- he can stroke it. also has this floater shot in the lane that he has worked on alot. don't know how his points came last night but a few deep 3 pointers were a part of it. also had 5 steals, 5 assists, and 5 turnovers. sounds like he likes to defend as well. has a good pedigre. recent feature article on him: www.kentucky.com/232/story/703625.html

We need some more quality perimeter defenders (and for those who question how well a freshman can do on defense, I'd like to remind you that Jeremiah was the one guarding Ty Lawson on the final shot of regulation in the Elite Eight game)

Guys, my firend who is an assistant at Lexington Catholic spent time with the Gtown assistant last night after Vee's performance... from what my friend got out of the conversation it was a given that we were going to offer Vee when he makes his on campus visit... right now my friend said Nebraska has made huge strides in developing a relationship with Vee and his dad... however he did say that Vee's dad has mentioned to him that playing in the Big East would be a HUGE selling point to Vee... as I hear more I will keep you guys posted

thanks lex. have you seen him play alot? assessment on his game?
from scout: kid is better shooter off dribble than catch. described as long, athletic. his handle does not sound tight enough to be a PG. that floater is his go to move.
is his defense big east good?

Unfortunately I have not been able to see him play, but now that we are significantly interested in him, I will be going to watch him in next weeks regional tournament... will give you guys a report (not sure it will stack up to a FLHOYA recap !!!! but I'll try my best) next Tuesday or Wednesday depending on which day they play.

He sounds alot like...gulp...don't shoot me....Steph Curry. Shot, floater, same size, although it sounds like Steph's handle is better and maybe under recruited.

I don't think there's anyone that would have a problem with a Steph Curry like player on the Hoyas. Think of how good he'd be if he didn't have to volume shoot and got to take more open shots like he would with the Hoyas

I just meant it may bring back some painful memories of the Hoyas inability to switch on screens in a timely matter.

If we get a Steph Curry, I want him volume shooting. The offense is predicated on getting good shots, well anything remotely open for that kid is a good shot. If this guy can shoot like Curry, I want him ASAP.
