"At the moment, it's hard to look at the stats and call him anything else but the best shooter in college basketball."

Ogilvy making Vandy the SEC's top dog
Mike Rapp reports the Dores "[boast] the best one-two inside-out punch in the nation" (VandySports.com insiders only).
Big Men Need Publicity
Dick Vitale includes AJ Ogilvy in his "Big Men Deserving of More Publicity team", adding:
Diaper dandy A. J. Ogilvy out of Australia has made some noise for the surprising Vanderbilt Commodores. Coach Kevin Stallings has to be thrilled with his presence in the paint.
Pat Forde has the Dores at #11 in his Power 16 rankings.

Dores move up
The Dores move up to 17 in the AP/ESPN polls and have mention in ESPN's Weekly Watch:
It's clear that while Aussie freshman big man A.J. Ogilvy is off to an impressive start and is the front-runner for SEC Freshman of the Year, Shan Foster is the straw that stirs the Commodores' drink. In addition to being a dead-eye shooter and an athletic wing player, he is a great team leader for coach Kevin Stallings. His energy at practice is contagious. With the Ogilvy-Foster inside-out punch and an improving backcourt of senior Alex Gordon and sophomore Jeremy Beal, Vandy will compete with Billy Donovan's young Florida club as the conference's second-best team behind Tennessee.
By the way, while I love Ogilvy and have seen him in international competition, my hope is that he stays another year at Vandy. He is a very fundamentally sound low-post scorer and has an Australian rules football mentality, but he needs to improve his athleticism and strength before he is ready to take on NBA centers.

Is this year's Squad better than last year's?
Seth Davis thinks so:
Vandy will not have as good a season as it had last year. It will have a better one. A.J. Ogilvy is the real thing, Shan Foster is the best player in the SEC and Alex Gordon is growing into a quality floor leader.
