Class of 2012 Rockford Auburn star Fred Van Vleet of PrymeTyme now has a Missouri Valley Conference scholarship offer from Southern Illinois University on the table. Van Vleet ranks as one of the top Class of 2012 basketball prospects in the state of Illinois.

Van Vleet, a 5'11" point guard, excels with the basketball in his hands, and is as good of a decision-maker as any player in the state of Illinois regardless of class. Van Vleet combines a strong handle with excellent floor vision and passing skills, and drops shots with range out beyond the three-point arc.

Van Vleet was very pleased with the offer from Southern Illinois. “It was cool to get the offer from SIU. I think it means that my play is speaking for itself now. I think more schools will start stepping out now, and give me a look,” said Van Vleet, who also noted that Ohio, Kent State, Drake, Detroit, Northern Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Boise State are the schools that seem the most serious currently.

Van Vleet and PrymeTyme closed out another strong run on the travel team circuit in July with an impressive run to the 16-U title at the ChicagoHoops.com End of Season Showdown.
