We need to get him under a long term contract like his dad, they will be coming for him.

The good things are that he is loyal to the program, he apparently likes living in CU, and can make as much money here than anywhere else including the pressure cooker NBA.

Every recruit we are interested in should get a copy of this game and be asked, "Do you want to play in this system?" The answer should be, "Where do I sign?"
The answer in this day should be, "My agent has me $X at the U of ___ and $ X+ lots of exposure and winning at ______. What can you offer besides a fun game and a lot of wins?"

Very cool, but I'd pump the brakes on getting too jazzed. FDU is KP 341. Gonna be curious to see how the the pace adjustments translate against Duke & UConn. Duke is deep, and UConn will dictate pace like they do against everyone.

Butler currently mauling FDU by 23 at the half.
You aren’t taking into consideration that FDU came off of a 75 point !!! whooping against us, getting on a bus with that on their mind and play on the road. Their mental state probably wasn’t good. I still did not think we played to our potential on Monday as we missed several open looks to the point to where we were jacking the ball in the second half, late. I agree that FDU is bad. But we did show flashes throughout the game of what this offense could do.
