Maurice O'Field - 2015 - 6'5" SF from Midland College

Because it is false.  We don't have "too many wings."  

In basketball these days four of those players can be on the floor at any given time. (If you believe that Duane is going to AT LEAST get spot time at point.)  Furthermore, we aren't going to be running 13 player rotations.  More than one player isn't going to be playing in certain games.

Of course, Sultan, the old El Buzzster philosophy of switchables. Of course you would sniff around that all day long. All things Buzz all the time. The number of "experts" we have never ceases to amaze me. But I do respect your opinion.

Now I have already read a couple opinions that say "Keep recruiting, it will sort itself out" Laughable. No strategic planning, no thinking ahead. Seven wings leads to people transferring out. No doubt about it. I guess that is what is meant about" sorting itself out". Sort of like throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. Laughable recruiting strategy. Cannot believe what some experts propose around here.

Ideally, what you want when recruiting to fill a team balance is:
2 Centers
2-3 PF's
3-4 wings
2 SG's
2 PG's
No where do you see 7 wings in that situation? Nonsense! Now, if you want to run a 4 guard offense, good luck with that!

Did not say we have too many wings. The poster mentioned 7 wings. I said that is too many. Reading is fundamental.

Sorry to be stalking you again Willie, but this is just toooo good to pass up.

?????? Seven wings is too may. That is so good, I could not pass it up.

Switchables is a fine philosophy if they have a diversity of basketball skill. Buzz didn't value such diversity (lack of outside shooting). That was the problem.

[Super SMache Bros.]

is this correct? did we make an offer?

I dunno, on progressive night at Hegarty's I always felt like 50 wings were just right.

According to Twitter he picked Buffalo over 5 other schools including MU.

[BM1090]

Conflicting reports on whether MU offered, but I was wrong on this one. Thought he'd end up here.

[Dawson Rental]

According to Twitter he picked Buffalo over 5 other schools including MU.

Evidently, he wants to maximize his playing time.  That's just being smart, if that's what he wants most.

[RealChiliWarrior]

Well we did not lose him due to Milwaukee's harsh winter weather.

Maybe it wasn't harsh enough?

Bobby Hurley is doing a great job at Buffalo, as is his brother at Rhode Island. Love to see one of them get the Seton Hall job next month.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Best of luck to him. Next man up!

[moomoo]

With Hurley gone, will O'Field change his mind about going to Buffalo?

[brewcity77]

With Hurley gone, will O'Field change his mind about going to Buffalo?

Wouldn't surprise me. Will probably head to ASU.

[WarriorPride68]

I really hope Nate Oats gets to keep the Buffalo job (interm right now). Wisconsin native!

[moomoo]

Good call brew brother.

Maurice O'field (Midland College) has decided to reopen his recruitment and will visit Arizona State this weekend
