In 2011, Weber started five small forwards.
oscar runs 3 guards, small forward and center you idiot.
Hence why Mcgruder played the 3 as a guard the whole rough ridin' year.

McCamey
Richardson
Cole
Davis
Tisdale
McCamey played the 3 on a number of occasions. He would sometimes point it out to ignorant interviewers, in response to particular questions. "I was playing small forward."
Calling Tisdale a small forward is pretty easy, based on his game. But for expert analysis, I asked Skip Thoren (one of the great all-time Illini). He agreed, absolutely, that Mike Tisdale was a small forward.
Richardson and Brandon Paul were two other guys that often played the wing. Richardson was the full-time 3 last year.
As far as I can tell from reading goEMAW, Weber continues to recruit fives of small forwards, and then asks the shorter ones to man the point, while asking the taller ones to man the pivot.
