Here is a great Q & A with Vander Blue written by the Journel Sentinel.
Vander Blue Q&A - Badgers Blog
Some great quotes:
"I want to be that automatic shooter because I know I can get to the basket any time I want to. I want to be that person like (Davidson's Stephen) Curry. I want my game to better that Curry's. I want to be that automatic shooter. Every time it goes up, I know it's going in." --> sounds like we could have used him in a recent game.
"I was looking for a school that had a good academic system because if I don't make it to NBA, if I've got a degree from Wisconsin, I'm pretty sure I can punch my ticket anywhere I want to go because of the high academic standards there. So that was another big key why I picked Wisconsin." --> Smart kid...and realistic with the whole back-up plan. Plus, you don't see many sophomore kids already focused on college academics. Sounds like he did his homework to me.
Also, sounds like he is already making friends fast on the team. He talks about how he calls and texts Keaton and how he likes Jordan and calls him. Hughes is his favorite player though and he hopes to talk with him soon.
"So now I've got to worry about school and stuff. I'm just going to make sure I keep my head clean, keep my head in the books, make sure that my grades stay on point. I'm going to bring some national championships to Wisconsin." --> haha...thatta boy.
I like this kid more and more every day.
