Class Of 2012 Stars Fred Van Vleet (Rockford Auburn), And Austin Angel (Rockford Boylan) Have Both Emerged As Bona Fide Stars, And Will Have Recruiters Flocking To Rockford, Illinois For The Next Few Years Chicago Hoops August 3, 2009 Email Questions/Comments To brian@chicagohoops.com The city of Rockford, Illinois can expect to draw a lot of attention over the course of the next several years with both Fred Van Vleet (Rockford Auburn), and Austin Angel (Rockford Boylan) both exploding on the scene as two of the top Class of 2012 basketball prospects in the state of Illinois. Van Vleet, a 5'11" point guard, is a super-smooth floor leader who excels with the basketball in his hands. Van Vleet combines a strong handle on the basketball with uncanny floor vision and passing skills. Van Vleet is a stellar decision-maker who seems to anticipate things on the floor before they happen. Van Vleet has been nothing short of sensational throughout the spring and summer on the travel team circuit with Prymetyme. He has firmly entrenched himself as one of the top 2012 prospects in the state of Illiois, and now has both DePaul and Illinois both very much front and center in his recruitment. Last week, both schools trailed Van Vleet throughout the ChicagoHoops.com End of Season Showdown. Angel, a 6'4" shooting guard, is a superb all-around talent who delivers on the basketball court with his size, versatility, and his ability to drop shots from all points of the floor. Angel is a player who finds a way to produce each and every time he hits the floor, and distinguished himself as a bona fide star on the travel team circuit this year while playing on a star-studded 15-U Rising Stars Gold Team. Angel now has a number of Big 10 schools very active in his recruitment including the likes of Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. Fred Van Vleet and Austin Angel are a pair of prospects who will have Rockford, Illinois front and center with college recruiters for the next few years. |
