2014 player?

Buford is going to start... I assume. He is a star in the making.

I don't disagree, but there was a lot of confusion about where he would play. He isn't starting at the 3 next year. I just don't see us benching a guy like Cousins, sliding Hield to the 2, Buford at the 3, and having to find a new starter for the 4 out of the other new guys.

I think he will probably start at the four, but I could see him getting backup minutes to Hield in certain scenarios.

This is my thoughts also. If he is to start it has to be at the 4 where Cam is playing now. I could see him playing the 3 a little when we have 2 bigs in there at the same time, which I believe we will see more of next year. His future might be a full time 3, but right away, to me, he'll have to play the tweener role.

I hope you guys are right about Buford. I think he'll play a lot next year, I'm just not so sure he'll be ready to start at any position. We may know more after watching his game tomorrow afternoon.

Last night I asked Kruger about Lattin and his future position. I asked Crutch the same about Buford. Kruger called Lattin a 4/5 that would start out at as a 5 and, as skill and development dictated, would become a 4. Crutch called Buford a 3/4 and stated he compared pretty favorably to Clark. I take from what they said that we might be looking at a lineup, in time, of Buford at the 3, Lattin at the 4, and McNease or another big playing the 5. Gary has mentioned before that they will always have an athletic 4 not necessarily a power 4. I can't see that right now in Lattin but it would possibly make sense for Buford next season.

Buford at the "4"....

I'd like a transfer - a big.

Wasn't Lon's son the first to use the graduate loophole when he went from Arizona State to UNLV?
