In my opinion Vander has been very good about not reading what is being said about him. The only article he read was the one published in the paper, and he is not happy at all about it. Despite this alleged "academic issue" Vander is not a dumb kid and could read into the intent of the article. As it stands with the UW, Vander feels completely alienated and right now feels that if the article is any indication on how they were going to treat him in Madison, than he feels he made the right move in decomitting. To avoid any potential conflict with his friends at Marquette and family here in Madison, Vander is really looking into his out of state options.
This past season, his favorite college player was Johnny Flynn, so he has intrest in Syracuse if they are interested in him. Also via his AAU coach, he said that Uconn has expressed some intrest in him, and Vander likes that idea also. Still though, I personally think things could be amended with Vander at the UW. It would take a lot of talking out (something Bo doesnt seem real high on doing) but it could happen. As it stands now though, the Badger coaching staff has seemingly moved on to plan B, which from what I understand is still a good option.
By the way, being as I'm new here, if you had any other questions about other Madison Memorial players, feel free to ask. After looking at various sites about recruting, I feel as if this community is the most intellegent and reasonable group of Badger fans on the internet.

That is not what I wanted to hear obviously. But, it's his choice, we can't do anything about it, as much as it'll hurt, it's ultimately up to him. Good to hear if not UW he wants to get out of the state, I'd like to see him go to a title contender so I can watch him evolve into the star he is and will be. Tell him us Badger fans love him and would love to have him, but will support him either way. i know he won't care and you probably won't say it but I thought I'd throw it out there.
- I'll miss you Vander if you leave, such a heartbreak after being commited for a year.
