Wow. Of the hundreds of players that leave programs every year, it is pretty much done in silence. Reference: Laquarious Page as just one example. He left, and that was it.

The Head Coach doesn't comment, and the players don't either....and if they do, the news media doesn't help carry the trash to the curb.

What is the point in throwing the player under-the-bus like this? I don't get it.

Local kid that got a lot of pub prior to ever playing a game - this one stings. They are a prideful bunch and they lost another head coach and now a player. He’s honestly probably a better fit at a high mid major program anyway. Not defending the article or anythig anyone is saging but Butler gets as much pub from the state media outlets as IU or PU anymore.
 
He had to have an exit strategy in place to leave mid season like this. In my mind there is no chance that he just up and left on a whim. He had to have contact from another coach/program with offer in mind. With us having a scholarship available maybe the stars will align. This will be interesting to follow.

Could be wrong....but I don't think any other coach could, or should, talk to him till he receives a release so IF a coach was talking to him there could be trouble brewing

No I bet that never happens in the NCAA... I think they got bigger concerns in the NCAA right now than a player talking to a coach prior to being released.

The funniest thing I find about this article, is that Ft. Wayne appears to have a Butler beat writer?

Granted, I extremely seldom read the Ft. Wayne News Sentinel, so maybe I'm just not in the know....but is this the case, that Tom Davis covers or writes about Butler basketball a lot? Seemed pretty random to me.

I think (not positive) If he transfers prior to the next semester then he could play by mid to late December. Only so many schools with options at this point in time. This actually sets up quite well for us - I'd say we'd be in a prime position to land him. That said, Ball State also has one open from my understanding so throw them into the mix.

Not sure that is the case. I believe NCAA hoops has the hard fast one year in academic residence rule so he wouldn't be eligible until this time next year which makes it important for him to pick a school ASAP so he'll be eligible for opening day of next year. At least that is how I understand NCAA rules.

Yeah I think my information was inaccurate.

Not official by way of ISU, but strong indications that Cooper Neese will be enrolling at Indiana State.
