Saw this kid today when I went to check out Jaren Jackson and came away impressed. More about him in the IndyBall tournament thread.

Jaylon Butz set up three visits. ISU, Ball St., and DePaul. found info on verbalcommits.com. All visits are in Sept.

Like the fact that we are last assuming he takes all 3. Him and adaway would be a great start to the class.

 

[Jason Svoboda]

Apparently announcing his decision tomorrow.

Down to us, Ball State and DePaul.

Looks like he woukd be a great get for us, seems to be right on the brink of being a high-major recruit. Although i have a gut feeling its gonna be depaul with their conference affiliation being the kicker. Hope im wrong!

 

[Southgrad07]

Would be a shocker if it's not DePaul. Plus I think him and Thomas fill pretty much the same role.

 

[chaddog]

The main difference is 4 years compared to two years. I think every class should have a big.

 

[pbutler218]

I would take another big athletic kid any day. PLUS he's an Indiana kid with 4 yrs. of eligibility! Many on here have wanted us to strengthen our Indiana ties so here's our chance. We could still get a point guard and wing player as our needs warrant. If we could reel in the Adaway kid also this would be a nice recruiting class! Btw some sites list him at 6'9.

By the way his good buddy Justin Roberts committed to DePaul also so that may factor in his decision.

Committed to DePaul.

DePaul...about the most irrelevant high major program that exists

 

[Bluethunder]

I can live with losing a recruit to DePaul. I can't say the same about losing one to Ball State, so I am ok with this news.

 

[pbutler218]

Watching this kid play for DePaul. Wish we could have landed him.

We were in on him originally before he went to DePaul.
