BU transfer- Anthony Fields- commits to Bradley

It would be disappointing to lose both Stainbrook and Fields, but I can't fathom too many occasions when we'd beat Xavier and Stanford for recruits.
 
I still feel pretty positive about Fields. I can think of a bunch of reasons he might not want to go to Stanford.

Chasson Randle
Distance
Less Playing time

That said Stanford is a very good school and although they are playing at a better level than us, they are not great.
Hopefully Geno, the staff, and the Bradley players made an impression on him.
I still have some hope for a commit.

He talks about his recruiting- Wichita State, among others, recruited him out of high school-

I would be very happy to get him. Especially if we can get a couple good shooters either with the last scholarship this year, or next year.
:D
 
Finally some good recruiting news! He is a great pickup for Bradley. Just too bad we have to wait a year to watch him. Thanks for the news... Welcome to Bradley Anthony!
 
Was it mentioned before why he decided to transfer? Was it playing time?

Based on video, I'm getting excited about the prospect of AF playing the point in 2013! I guess we should overlook his stats from last season, as circumstances were against him. And it seems that's what the coaching staff has done. He may end up being a diamond in the rough. (???)

Due do his hand being a a cast for almost 6 months. He got cleared to play basketball 2 weeks before Wake's season started and had no chance or time for physical therapy on his hand. It was weak from being in the cast. Brainchild coach expected him to perform at 100% and he tired but was not able.

The coach had a whole mass of problems with the team itself. 3 players ended up kicked off the team and they ended up playing with 3 freshman and 3 return players. Leading scorer got kicked off the team about 3 weeks before the season started for a DUI and other issues. This was all at the beginning of the season. It was doomed from the start.

Coach saw Anthony was not 100% and sat him to the side and did not look at him again. He went with the returning PG from last season. Anthony never got a chance to show his stuff. He was robbed. The coach then recruited some supposed stud PG for 2012 and was bragging all over town that was his starter for 2012 and the season had not even ended!

Well when the season ended BOTH Anthony and the other point guard Tony Chenault asked for their release and the final blow was the 7 foot center Carson Derosiers who asked for his release. The kids were beat up and nobody blamed them. You have to go take a look at the Wake Forest Forum to get the feeling about the coach and it ain't good. The masses want him outta there. Program is a total mess. Word over there is, if this coming season is a bust he is done.
 
PASSFIRST - a few fans here have noticed issues at Wake and discussed it - and we can see Fields got a raw deal -- we have also seen similar situations closer to here as well.......

If Anthony wants to play here, he will find amazingly supportive and vocal Bradley fans and he will be honored, cheered, and adored by a great fan base......
Make sure he knows that BU's players always get the special treatment...
