Butler receives Verbal Commit from ESPNU 100 ( 2012 )

[CollegeOverUnder]

Butler has received a verbal from ESPN U 100 player Kellen Dunham. Im thinking 2012 is another special year for this Butler team with some experience in 2012 and a top 100 player this could be a special year

If you win games the ESPNU 100 players will come to you in time! Keep up the great work Brad Stevens the players will come if you keep producing the NBA talent!

We'll see where the program is at once the core set of players from the last 3 years are completely cycled out. Anyhow, that's a good commit for those guys.

they have a quality 2011 class coming next year should be interesting

Yeah I find Butler a hard team to figure out.

It's all about the system and Brad Stevens' coaching style. Obviously losing their core will be extremely tough, I'd say next year will be somewhat rough but the following season I wouldn't be surprised if they make noise again.

Ive been doing a lot of digging on Butler and they wont hand out a scholarship to a player until their JUNIOR year in high school. So that is why they are getting beat to a lot of players. They will express interest in a player but holding that interest can be lost once another school swoops in for the scholarship
