At 6-4, 200, he looks like a solidly-built kid. Had offers from Navy and UNH.

Welcome aboard, Austin. How about the set of stones on him pulling up from 30+ feet away?

Makes me wonder a little bit about Strzala's status.

Makes me wonder a little bit about Strzala's status. As I posted in another thread, I very much think he's not coming to HC.

Makes me wonder a little bit about Strzala's status. Ditto. HC92 has been raising the issue for awhile, and this commitment does nothing to dispel the question. Was it Bo Lamar that was throwing them in from 25' once upon a time in the tournament? Watching Butler bomb away put me in mind of that - he will definitely extend a few defenses.

I love it. This guy can shoot! I remember being amazed by the highlight reel when his name first came up I also love the football experience--always a good sign, especially the positions he played. Let's hope, though, that he skips his senior year of football.

The Pittsburg basketball rankings has him at #6 I think it's always interesting to see where the guys ranked near the subject are going to college. Is there a Pittsburgh top 10 list accessible so we can check that?

From the 'hoops link
Latrobe senior Austin Butler spent Monday preparing for the upcoming football season during a heat acclimation workout with his teammates.
Among other things, the Wildcats quarterback worked on his conditioning, timing and decision making.
On Monday night, he made a life-changing decision — for his primary sport.
The 6-foot-4 sharpshooting guard made a verbal commitment to play basketball at Holy Cross.

Question: Where do you want to go to college? I'm undecided but I want to study nursing, my mother is a nurse and she inspired me go be a nurse! Don't know what we can offer this young man but happy to welcome him to Holy cross! Maybe he can do a double degree with HC and Becker! 45, that was the girl answering that question
