Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 2049775, member: 2292"] Don't feel stupid: (a) we still don't know for certain he'll be better than Austrie in 3 years, and (b) his game is very similar to Austrie's and his "best" quality, his headiness / b@lls / BBIQ / maturity. So my thought is "Souped-up, better version of Craig Austrie" by his senior year is still very valid, but his ability gives us promise and hope that by then he could totally surpass that. He's been great as a frosh. But that comparison is still pretty on point, IMO, until he makes a BIG jump. Again, he could, and his play so far has been great and a revelation ... My point is more that Austrie's style, steadiness and everything is underrated. Could Vital be a Giffey-type his senior year? Neils is a little taller but games/roles are fairly similar, as well. Just riffing and ranting now, but thankful it's about something as positive as our least regarded recruit playing great. [/QUOTE]
