Wichita State PG Fred VanVleet using newfound fame to spread a positive message
Posted Oct 8, 2014
Simply put, no college basketball player's life -- except, perhaps, the life of Wisconsin forward Frank Kaminsky, who similarly used the 2013-14 season to transition from reserve to star -- has changed over the past year as much as VanVleet's life has changed over the past year. And with that kind of change -- in notoriety and perception -- comes a certain level of responsibility, and that's how VanVleet ended up at Coleman Middle School in Wichita last week speaking to 500 adoring kids still young enough to be filled with optimism and hope.
