he will play there for ex-Bradley assistant coach Ritchie McKay and should be eligible immediately since he just graduated...



according to the "Verbalcommits" web site - they have Anthony Fields as taking the last available scholarship that Liberty has until 2016...
but they also list Anthony Fields as redshirting but I believe that is an error - as he should get the grad student waiver & be immediately eligible just like Omari Grier did

Anthony ought to have an outstanding opportunity to get playing time for Coach McKay - he will be one of only 3 seniors...only one of whom (scholarship players) is listed as a guard and none of all the returning players are point guards...and there are NO juniors on the entire squad...so he's one of the only guards with any DI experience, and the ONLY point guard on the squad that's ever spent a day in DI or at any 4-year college.

Good luck Anthony!

Could he be the "difference maker" for them?

Just curious.

Hope he does well.

he has a great chance to make a difference...the opportunity is there..
Liberty was worse than Bradley last season - just 8-24 with FOUR of those wins being weak DII's & DIII's..
so they had just 4 DI wins - Delaware, Furman, Campbell, Radford - virtually all around 300RPI teams

but then six of their top seven players/scorers left or transferred...so they are rebuilding big time -

I get a kick out of that many players leaving an 8 win program and Bradley's 9 win program. Like they are really going to hurt the team by taking their so called talent somewhere else.

56 points in 69 games. How hard up is Liberty for players?

[tornado]

yes

Never seemed like Fields ever got much of a chance to show anything while he played for Geno. I hope he gets a real opportunity and plays well for Liberty in the future.

[Da Coach]

You are right. Geno determined pretty quickly that he didn't seem to fit his personal idea of a point guard. In the one game Anthony Fields did get a chance to start and play a lot (the game at Indiana State when several of our other players were suspended following the Big Al's incident), he played pretty well.
Fields played 34 minutes in that game and scored 11 points. It was the only time in his career at Bradley that he scored more than 4 points.
