You are right. It is Butler. Not Georgetown.

You can't tell from the article if there is an extenuating circumstance. There may be one that Bill didn't bring up in that article or one that he didn't know about.

Last I heard, he was negotiating with a bunch of teams. This is a different process because there is no rookie camp or mini-camp. So while it's a bit surprising he hasn't signed in the last week, there's still time.

I think there are a couple of things we could do. Sure, take the typical sit-out guy with a slim chance at waiver. Take a prep school or high school freshman guard, that maybe is under the radar. Maybe a freshman who has de-committed somewhere. Not sure who is left on the juco market, but I can find out.

Looking for the best available grad transfers out there. Preferably wings or two-guards. Not many available. The top ones are likely going high-major. You know, the guys averaging 14+ppg or more at mid-majors. I think ultimately we'll have to go the Juco route if we want somebody to be able to contribute next season. G Ray Salnave, 6-3 from Monmouth. Averaged 14.5ppg and 3.6 assists. A serviceable 36.5% from 3. Apparently Illinois has some interest. G Jalen Coleman-Lands (6-4, 185) from DePaul. Averaged 11.1ppg. Hideous shooter (36.3% FG, 32.1% 3pt). Amazing that his best shooting year was his freshman season when he shot 42.2% from 3-point and his sophomore shot 38% from 3-point. But last two seasons had a huge drop-off. G Jonah Antonio (6-5, 180) from UNLV. Avg. 6.9ppg and shot 31.2% from the field. But averaged 11.3ppg with Mount St. Mary's in his first season. Not a great three-point shooter F Sebastian Townes (6-5, 255) from Bryant. Barely played last season averaging just 1.9ppg in 10 games. However, he averaged 15.1 points and 4.9 rebounds (34.5% 3pt) on 2018-19 and 11.3ppg in 2017-18. I would pass but intriguing. G Malcolm Porter (6-4, 190) from Portland. Avg. 9.5ppg and shot 36.5% from 3 and 40.9% overall. Sounds pretty mediocre

I think I can get minutes for DePaul, but seriously, URI and Richmond make the most sense. Of course, he'll have to sit out and there are well, other issues.

Right so he is played a lot of minutes early and late due to injuries. That’s always a factor in whether freshmen play a lot unless they are legit or we have holes.

Actually, Gibson played a lot right away and Thompson played a decent amount and then a lot when Gray got hurt. A lot depends on who the last pickup will be, whether Mims or Timberlake grab that 3 spot and if Jones is ready to play both ends as well as injuries. Also, If Holland is eligible, because if he's not, Timberlake is almost certain to start at the 2. I honestly don't know enough about Jones from watching him at Oak Hill whether he's going to play 5 or 20 minutes a game this season. What we do know is that the athleticism of Jones and Mims is off the charts. Skill-wise, AB was really good for 10 games, was meh before that and bad the last seven. But because he's averaged double digits and there's not a lot out there right now, he's getting a ton of good looks at the moment.
