(2016) C Joey Brunk to Butler

Eron Gordon, Joey Brunk, Kyle Guy, Damien Jefferson, CJ Walker are the leading Mr. Basketball candidates, I believe.

But does he have enough #scrap and #grit for #thebutlerway?

[OliviaPope40 6,340]

Interesting.

I don't think this is much of a surprise, but fwiw.

[FindEndNow 198]

Good choice

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,446]

Predicted by CB. No surprise here.

Any reasoning behind this?  Or just Butler being the new flavor of the week for you?

he will be a star and focal point at Butler. Not likely the case at IU. More competition, etc..

Team chemistry and atmosphere also considerations and location.

What will be interesting is if Butler gets Eron Gordon too as CB has predicted.

Just seems to be a better fit for him. I could probably say that Butler is a better program (which it is) but he just fits better at a Butler. It makes sense. You can more easily see him in a Butler jersey.

I hope Gordon goes to Butler. I don't want him at IU. Maybe if he was even a tenth of what Eric was. But he's not.

.......or in Thomas Bryant lingo, he'd be the "vocal point".

He wasn't good anyway.

How is Butler a better program? Please...

Well they do win more. Should we really compare the last decade for each?

You just said Butler is a better program (it's not).  If they're a better program and he's good enough for them, then he's good enough for IU.

 

Their program isn't better, it's just not being held back by an administration that doesn't give a crap about the on floor product.

History goes back a lot further than a decade.  History is a part of how good the program is.

Sounds like they have a better program then. And I never said Brunk wasn't good enough for IU. I wanted him. But he picked a better program. Great choice.
