Why are we so excited about Vanderbeken

Honestly, I am not impressed with him at all. He will be another Thompson as most, and I seriously doubt he will beat Thompson for minutes.

Although for some reason he participated the Juco all star game, he is not a juco all american 1st team. he is a second team, he is not a 3rd team. he is not EVEN an honorable mention!!!! In Rivals, he was only listed as 53nd best Juco.

I know some of you will say he fills a hole in the front for us next year, he will let others to play their natural role, etc. but that holds ONLY if he is a quality contributor, but I doubt he will be.

Some will say never to trust these recuiting gurus, but come on, are we better than them? Yes you can not say a 2nd best player is definitely better than a 5th best player, but in most cases, they donnot mistaken a 5th best player with a 53nd best juco player.

In cyclones recent history, both Vorman and Tim Barns were top 10 Jucos, Evans was a second team juco all american, so does Staples.

When was the last time in cyclone history that a top 50 juco player makes a impact? I don;t remember that we even recuited a top 50 juco in LE time. Althoug LE was considered a bad recuiter.
