Wow! What an inside/outside combination. Loved it when he was working against Dia.
That's pretty damn impressive for a redshirt freshman.

Thanks for posting!!! Looks like we are finally trending up!!!

Luttman is no match for the guy and my guess is he's playing a big role in Papa Dia's improvement if he's working against him a lot in practice

Poor Mylo gets destroyed in that video. One of the best things about Vilde, aside from his obvious skill, is that he's workout fiend. Kid really puts in work in the weight room

Exactly on the Luttman matchup...i was wondering who is so friggin slow in cover, so wonder how good Vilde is in space on the attack dribble against someone who can actually play D. Vilde looks like he can go left and right down low and can face up shoot well. This was filmed sometime back as Jfrog still had his pony tail, so Vilde is probably better than this now. Vilde will get even bigger and stronger by next season and will have even better more polished post moves.
He will be a beast in CUSA.

I saw him do the same thing to Keith Davis(A$M) last year at Lee. He just destroyed him. Vilde would extend him to 3, then go by if Davis pressed up. If Davis sat back, he drained a 3. Not to mention abusing him in the post and on the glass. Vilde is legit as hell. Had he been properly evaluated and played AAU, he's top 100 and 4 star kid w/o question. I know many high major fan bases that would freak out over that vid, if he was theirs

I am excited about SMU basketball. Dont really know what to do with that - since I have never had this feeling before.

He will be fun to see next year and a surprise to the rest of the CUSA.
On another note.... I watched overtime game Memphis and UAB last night on ESPN...great game and full house at UAB...the CUSA is moving up in National exposure and rankings....

before I forget to ask, does his last name rhyme with "filthy" or with build?

the latter. Filthy is just my unofficial nickname after seeing the video. He's freakin Drago of the hardwood.

[RGV Pony]

I like it.

Why did Doh waste, in every sense of the word, a scholarship on Luttman?
