Butler is reported to have just gotten a verbal from a shooting guard from Las Vegas, Chrishawn Hopkins. He is a very athletic Class of 2010 known for his dunking, but supposedly a good outside shot.
He moved from Indianapolis to Las Vegas, and is definitely under the radar. He is rated with no stars per scout.com and not even listed in Rivals' database.

SIU lost "Grad Assistant" Tony Young to Saint Louis University, and will soon replace him with a new Grad Asst, rumored to be from out east.



Predictable -- the NCAA is cowtowing to USC even though the evidence is clear and everyone knows there are violations and cheating. Just more evidence of the incredible bias when it comes to NCAA and doling out punitive action.

Creighton's Dana Altman mentioned as one of the college game's "best tacticians".
"I think there are a lot of superb Xs and Os guys who toil in relative anonymity, guys like mid-major coaches Fran Dunphy of Temple, Rick Majerus of Saint Louis, Dana Altman of Creighton.."

Here's an oddity. The writer of Wisconsin Basketball Yearbook says a parent called him and told him NOT to rank their son!
