Steals for Vescovi

[UTFanForLife]

I saw where Santi got to 210 steals. I can’t find the final stat, did he get another steal after that? Would like to see him cap his career off with the all-time steals lead on this run.

I think he got to 211 to tie the record.

 

[omghulkhands]

He is now tied for all-time lead…

Until Zeigler blows the top off the record next year

These COVID players should have an asterisk though IMO. I love Vescovi but he played 5 seasons.

Technically he played 4.5

Just like football players should have asterisks beside their season records - college and pro.

Sorry I forgot he came in mid season as a freshman.

The 2020-2021 season was also shorter so it kinda balances out.

Technically he played 4.5

He may not have played as much defense in the first 0.5

Vescovi has played 7 season. He and James.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Kesling said he has 212 and now has the record over VY.

 

[volfan411]

Good Point.

 

[TMvol10]

It’s incredible what he can do on that end. Not the most athletic but his hands are the best in the business and he sees the game multiple plays ahead. If you truly know the game, you would understand how impressive him achieving this record is

Yeah there is opportunity for Zakai to reach 250 steals for his career next year.

 

[KTrain]

He may not have played as much defense in the first 0.5

But it would have been vs some lesser teams lower mids and OOC give me games

He’d just steal the asterisk. He's that good.

 

[coffeecountyvol]

It would be interesting to see steals vs games played. That would give the best comparison.

 

[VolPack22]

 

[VolPack22]

Vescovi’s career steals have dropped to 1.4 per game this year due to the decreased playing time. Zakai is currently trending at 1.8 for his career so he would have the highest rate among players with 100+ games played.

Vescovi has played 7 season. He and James.

Don't tell the NCAA!

 

[SlyStone]

We should be more concerned about Vescovi's offensive contributions in this tournament over some record for steals.

I wonder what Vescovi's future is? Before this season he was an NBA prospect correct? I think this big offensive drop off this year will hurt him. Maybe better for him professionally to have just quit college after last year. He has contributed to this team alot this year....don't get me wrong....but the offensive output hasn't been there.

He might be able to make a nice living playing overseas. I suspect he likes playing in the US which also contributed to his decision to come back.

Creighton turns it over. Santi, ZZ, and JJJ will need to make them pay with the steals. Make our three's and we could be playing next Sunday.
