He's a 6'5 185lb. SF who originally commited to Xavier, but now has reopened his recruitment. He is a 4 star recruit according to Scout, and Marquette is on his list with a number of other schools.

we are loaded at this spot - pass
The strong will survive and the weak will leave. Besides that I do not think Buzz sees them as 1,2.3.4 & 5. He wants players that are interchangable. Athletic, quick players who can handle the ball. Compare Buzz's style to Crean and Bo Ryan. He is closer to Ryan. Crean wants to control every play and likes three guards. Ryan wants his players to play inside and out. His swing consists of bigs shooting threes and guards posting up. Buzz's style is some what the same, except he does not use big slow white guys and run the clock down. In its simplist form the ball is suspose to go into the paint come back out for an open three or be driven to the basket. Relies and quickness and athleticism.
The kid can ball. Take him in a heartbeat.
Yep, can never have enough players. Plus the list of schools recruiting him ain't too bad.

We're loaded with 4 star recruits?
I'd rather have Latvious Williams and have to hire a few extra tutors than deal with the mess that would come of having a team almost entirely made up of guards.
I would take Latavious Williams or Kevin Parrom, both of these kids are very good basektball players that will probably have an immediate impact on most programs. Unfortunately they are probably two of the best players left at this point so anyone with an open scholly is going to be all over them, plus you have to figure in schools such as ourselves that are over recruiting. I would have to guess that not many programs would just "pass" on these players.
Given that we are still in on some top talent, I would have to imagine that someone else will be leaving this off season, Buzz has made a few to many comments about signing one or even two more players for next year. I would say someone other than Liam is going, and then we would sign a second person if the Liam situation doesn't turn out right.
