I just can't see NU offering this kid since he doesn't play a specific position. ;)

"Bey is the ideal prospect for coaches that have come to covet versatile players. Thanks to his toughness, rapid progressions and grades in the classroom, things remain on the upward trajectory with the do-it-all wing."

Who has suggested that a multi-position player shouldn't/wouldn't be offered by NU???
In all team sports there are players capable of playing well more than one position. That is obviously a strength, not a weakness. Specific terminology is sometimes used to describe such players ("athletes" in FB, combo guards/swingmen/wings in BkB, etc).

The mistake is to assume that EVERY player who belongs to a sub-category that includes several traditional positions can in fact play each of those positions well. A "combo guard" should be able to play PG and SG well. But every guard is NOT a "combo guard". Same for "wings" (not every SG or sF can play both positions well). Etc.

Reminds me of this gem from Coach K when talking to the press about Kyle Singler last year
"Kyle has been … you know, what position does he play?” Krzyzewski asked.” He plays ‘winner.’"
