I haven't found his up-to-date statistics, but this wasn't too long ago. https://www.post-gazette.com/sports/high-school-basketball/2019/01/19/Ethan-Morton-Butler-WPIAL-basketball-triple-double-Pitt-Indiana-Ohio-State/stories/201901190051 Stromboli, barrettballer, ElectricBoogaloo and 5 others 8 Quote

ray Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 On 1/19/2019 at 7:53 PM, Class of '66 Old Fart said: Mike White - Pittsburgh Post-Gazette High school notebook: Big E — Ethan Morton is close to a "triple-double" player for Butler Ethan Morton goes into games with an open mind. Butler is never quite sure what defense an opponent will throw at Morton, so he has no pre-conceived notions of exactly what he must do for his team to achieve success. So he just does everything. Scores a lot. Rebounds a lot. Passes a lot. Morton is a 6-foot-5 point guard who has been highly touted for a few years. But what Morton is doing in his junior season deserves more accolades. He is having a season that is extremely rare in the WPIAL — or any level of basketball. This statistic says it all: Morton is eight assists away from averaging a triple-double. Morton is the third-leading scorer in the WPIAL at 28.1 points a game. He also is averaging 10.4 rebounds and 9.8 assists a game. His performance against Seneca Valley this past Tuesday was typical of his do-what-it-takes attitude. He had 19 points, nine below his average, but he had 19 rebounds and 12 assists. “What he does, I think we take for granted sometimes,” Butler coach Matt Clement said. “But when you sit back and think about it, it’s like, ‘Wow.’” It should be pointed out that Butler isn’t padding his statistics, either. Two or three people chart statistics for Butler at games, and then the team has a statistician double-check film. “How teams are defending him might call for a different way for him to play,” Clement said. “But his No. 1 thought always is, how are we going to win? If it takes 0 points, but 30 assists and 20 rebounds, then he’ll try to do that. But I doubt there is a kid walking around the WPIAL who is more unselfish as far as just wanting to win first.” Oscar Robertson is one of only two players in NBA history to average a triple-double for the entire season. He was the Big O. The way Morton is going, he is the Big E of the WPIAL. Besides his averages, Morton is shooting 53 percent from the field, 33 percent from 3-point range and 82 percent from the free-throw line for a Butler team that is 11-3. Morton has scholarship offers from Pitt, Indiana, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Virginia, Stanford, Oregon and many others. “I’ve said it before that he’s getting recruited, not just because of his scoring, but because of his versatility, his basketball IQ and how unique he is,” said Clement. I just realized you had already posted this. I swear I didn't see it when I read through the thread again. I even looked for it to not make a repetitive post. My apologies, OF.

Uspshoosier Posted February 8, 2019 Posted February 8, 2019 Sounds like a reclass then Just taking advantage of new rule by using official visits as a junior. I see him wanting to get the recruitment out of the way since he has a jump on things but I don’t see a reclass Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app lillurk 1 Quote

Although coach Beilein has never had incredible recruiting prowess. Team success is way overrated. It’s a bigger deal to fans but to incoming recruits it’s not that big of factor. Most the players on these teams won’t be on the team in 2 years when Morton would be playing. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
