MBB Rounds Out Roster with Derrick Butler

The roster is complete for the BG MBB team...as Derrick Butler has been signed.  Butler played at 2 JUCO schools before transferring to CMU and playing one season there before entering the portal and ending up at BG.  The word is he had significant P5 interest and offers...and then one by one those teams fell away and BG's coaches stayed with it and ended up with a guy who could be a key piece.

I believe we have a staff that can really recruit.

Butler started the last 26 games for CMU at off-guard.  He's 6'2". He handles the ball well (#8 in MAC in TO ratio) and made 41% of his 3FG, #6 in the MAC (both MAC games only).  He scored 10.7 PPG, 11.6 in MAC play. 

All remains to be seen.  But I think you will see BG play much more of the style we expected when Simon got here.  Fast and shooting 3FGs.  Big point totals. Cannot wait to see it on the court.  Would love to see the town get behind these guys.

Welcome to the Falcons, Derrick.

The roster replenishment has gone as well as could be imagined. Roster is stocked with scorers and shooters. No more 29% from 3!

I would agree. Also, some guys who can drive to the basket when the floor is spaced.
