    I'd be surprised if he did now. Unless he visits us again it probably won't be BU he picks. We're old in his mind and he almost did it and didn't pull the trigger. Just by pure human psychology I'd say it'd be awkward for him to come here almost do it...then not commit...then get higher up attention and visits...then suddenly commit to BU. Just wouldn't follow common behavior. His dad told him not to commit to us for some reason and he agreed for some reason...

    It'd be great though if he came here. I really like "VEE for THREE!" or if it makes it "THREE for VEE!"

      I'm starting to think Vee is going to do a Daruis Smith on us....he is getting interest from bigger schools and while they all say it doesn't matter...in the end it usually does.....Vee would be a big addition to the Braves but I'll be surprised if he lands here!

        It just sounds like our key is to get him back on campus. Now he's seen some other places and people. He knows basically where his "ceiling" for recruiting is.

        But apparently we did a pretty good job getting him out here on Halloween (the weekend the Markin Center opened!) and making him feel real comfortable. Let's get him back and show him he was right the first time around!

          Bigger and better schools recruiting an '09 recruit this late could be a whole lot of nothing. So far, Bradley is his best standing offer.

          I'd say Bradley is in good shape here.

            Someone should also tell him campus was a ghost town on Halloween because of the Illinois State Police Alcohol Taskforce. Get him up here on a weekend in mid to late April and the image of campus would be completely different.

            I sort of disagree that it would be akward for him to come back and commit since he didn't the first time around. If his dad did say "don't commit here" it was, in my mind, most likely because he felt they should see what else was out there before making a hasty decision. Now that he has seen what is out there (including coaches personalities and philosophies) maybe it makes it even more evident that Bradley is the place he fits in the best. He sounds like a smart kid, maybe he'll make a smart decision.

                New premium article from Scout.com--
                Sanford gets loose in front of coaches
                Stay up to date with all the college basketball recruiting news and more at 247Sports.com



                Here is a brief clip-
                Lexington (Ky.) Catholic, led byVee Sanford, took on Lexington (Ky.) Tates Creek, with the winner advancing to the 43rd District finals and guaranteeing themselves a spot in the 11th Region Tournament, while the loser was sent home.
                And when Sanford, a senior standout, was needed most, he rose to the occasion. After a rough start to the game, Sanford turned it up, knocking in floaters and deep off the dribble jumpers on his way to 31 points.

                Sanford??™s big effort, on 12-for-21 shooting, is the main reason the Knights will play in the District championship on Friday against Lexington (Ky.) Lafayette. To go with his 31 points, he also tossed out five assists, had five steals, but turned it over five times.
                With coaches from Georgetown, Virginia and Charlotte in attendance, Sanford showed his ability to take over a game.
                The 6-foot-3 combo guard has seen varying levels of college interest thus far. He holds scholarship offers from Wyoming, Toledo, Indiana State, Miami, Bradley, Saint Louis and Loyola-Chicago, while Kentucky, Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Marquette, Georgetown, Virginia and Charlotte are showing interest.

                  That's a nice looking jumper. Good love he gave the MVC/BU during the interview. Vee seems like just the kind of shooter we need...

                    He's got a nice shot. Looks like it's in slow motion...just smooth. Seems like a good guy too. Hope he chooses BU!!

                      Here is an update on Vee Sanford from the Virginia Cavaliers' Rivals website. It is a premium article, but it now reports that Virginia is making a strong push to land Sanford. --

                      Here are a couple clips from the premium article--
                      Every spring in the world of college basketball recruiting, there are players who come virtually out of nowhere to become big-time targets.
                      One player who is experiencing that scenario right now is Lexington (Ky.) Lexington Catholic combo guard Vee Sanford.
                      The 6-foot-3, 175-pounder is having a monster senior season and numerous college programs, including Virginia, have made him a priority target this spring.
                      We asked him who the most serious suitors were at this point.
                      "Georgetown, Virginia, Charlotte, Nebraska and Kansas State are probably the main ones. Marquette and Baylor have come in lately but I have to start thinking about narrowing things down."
                      Last fall, Sanford took one official visit, meaning that he has four available to take this spring.
                      "I visited Bradley in October over Halloween weekend, so I have four official visits left," Sanford said. "I know that I'm definitely trying to go to Virginia and Georgetown. And Nebraska is another one I think I want to visit."
                      "I play a little smooth," Sanford said. "I like to shoot the mid-range floater but I can shoot from outside and I'm pretty explosive and can get to the basket. I try to model my game after Devin Harris."
                      Sanford and his Lexington Catholic teammates are 22-7 on the season and the star guard is averaging 23 points, five assists, five rebounds and four steals per game.
                      "I'm looking for a place where the coach is going to push me to get the most out of me. I also want to have an impact early and find a place where I feel like I fit in well."

                        I was reading through a chat on recruiting done by Reggie Rankin on espn.com and he had this to say about Vee.

                        Mike (DC): What do you know about Vee Sanford?

                        Reggie Rankin: Again, thanks Mike. Sanford is a skilled wing who's an excellent shooter off the dribble. He's got great range and a scorer's mentality. He's also big enough to play the two or three. I really like him. He's an excellent scoring wing. He played really well at the Marshall County Hoop Fest in the fall.


                        I'm still holding out hope Vee goes with his gut and comes to BRADLEY! We would love to have you here Vee.
                        If you cant go to school go to STATE!!

                              Senior guard Vee Sanford (photo), who led the team at 22.5 points a game, has visits set up for Georgetown, Baylor and Charlotte. He's already visited Bradley and has dozens of other offers. Georgia, Nebraska, George Mason and Iowa are also showing major interest.



                              From ESPN:
                              March, 2009: Sanford is a skilled, long athlete that has the ability to score in a variety of ways. He is a good ball handler and underrated passer but his strength lies in his three point range of the catch or dribble and his floater in the lane that he executes with excellent touch and body control. Sanford must add strength and he didn't shoot well this weekend but he has the potential to be an excellent college player.
                              Shooting Guard # 71
