SF William Buford (Big Ten Frosh of the Year)
 High School: Toledo Libbey HS (Toledo, OH) Ht: 6-4 Wt: 180 AAU: D-1 Greyhounds 17 and 16-under Not much info available so far, but Telep lists him as a potential top 5 player in the 2008 class. Right now he is about 6-5 and Kyle Lamb has him #6 on the early 2008 list. During his freshman year, William averaged 14.2 points and 7.5 rebounds a game. His teammated Nate Miles may be a target for OSU in the 2007 class.

Miles is his teammate in AAU or at Toledo Libbey before Miles moves to Oak Hill?

From what i saw of him he was very athletic, needed to settle down a bit, Nate Miles being the star of the team.

It's extremely early, but...
Free Scout William is listed as a 4-star shooting guard in the early 2008 class database.

11/2/05 Quote: Ohio’s Best Boys Basketball Players Buckeye state boasts more talent than ever before By Steve Helwagen Over the course of the summer, Ohio’s best boys basketball players showed their stuff in various AAU and summer camp events from coast to coast. These events helped Ohio’s best players earn reputations as the nation’s very best. The national rankings supplied by ScoutHoops.com are dotted with players from Ohio. Five of the current seniors are in the national top 100, led by Dayton Dunbar’s Daequan Cook at No. 16. Even better is the Class of 2007, where seven Ohio prospects are listed among the top 50. That group is led by the North College Hill duo of O.J. Mayo and Bill Walker, ranked first and fourth nationally, respectively. The sophomore class in Ohio also boasts two of the nation’s top 15 prospects, including Cincinnati Hughes’ Yancey Gates at No. 5. “You would be hard pressed to go back and find three years consecutively where there is this type of talent in the state of Ohio,” said HoopScoopOnline.com Ohio editor Chris Johnson. “And there is not only talent but also some size. In that sophomore class, there are four or five really good players who are already 6-8 or taller.” The Ohio talent quotient would be even better if Herb Pope, a 6-8 forward considered a top-10 national junior, had followed through with his stated plan to transfer to a school in Ohio. Instead, he began the new school year at his old school in Aliquippa, Pa. With the summer camp and AAU season over, Johnson has reassessed his lists of Ohio’s top prospects and updated them. The following is a look at the top prospects in each class in Ohio high school boys basketball, as rated by Johnson. Sophomores-To-Be (Class of 2008) Quote:

Buford is having an excellent sophomore season for a 11-8 squad. He is averaging 22.6 points and 10.9 rebounds a game which both lead his league.

4/6/06 Buford will be playing on the D-1 Greyhounds 17 and 16-under team this summer on the AAU circuit, this is significant because Mayo and Walker are on the 17-under squad and this will raise the level of competition for Buford.

Buford is rated as #18 in the country and the #6 shooting guard, right behind Walter Offut.
Scout seems to be really high on him.

Buford really tore it up this year, dominating games, and consistently scoring. A real suprise, because the Toledo City League is one of the tougher ones in the state, and he held his own and then some, competing in a league dominated by seniors. I expect big things out of him, BUT knowing where he goes to school i wouldnt be suprised if grades were an issue. (nothing concrete on that however)

Well if he plays on the same Greyhounds team this year, he is going to have a great team along side him.

4/30/06 Day 2 at the King James Classic.....Buford has become more a scorer than a shooter and he is drawing a ton of interest. The entire OSU staff was on hand to watch him......

He sounds like one to really keep an eye on.
I am hearing that he had a really impressive weekend. I think he would be a good get to go along side of Offut and Mullens in that 08' class, b/c I think by then we are going to need another wing, b/c Cook will be gone after two years IMO, and That would leave Lighty as a Junior and Diebler as a sophmore.
