There is some Shrews to Butler smoke on twitter

Butler clearly didn't watch Notre Dame basketball this season. 🙄🤣

 

[NDPhilly]

It makes sense for him to find a landing spot before his stock drops even further next year.

 

[mhunter123]

Any names mentioned as possible replacements?

 

[Irish9]

Butler's going to be hiring Ronald Nored.

 

[KMac151993]

I haven't even heard Shrews be mentioned in Butler circles, I'd take him as an assistant.

 

[rikkitikki08]

That hire would make zero sense for butler. I could possibly see why Shrews would want it though, low expectations and he’s from Indy

Assistant floor mopper. 🤣

Is it from anyone reliable?

I heard Travis Steele may be a possibility. Played at Butler and if you know anything about Butler, they love people with previous connections to Butler.

We have a couple of good ones already.

In all seriousness I am not sure why it just hasn't clicked...he had a good run there to get to the tournament at Pedo State and thought he might have finally put it all together but in reality is just a 500 coach. Some guys just can't handle the first chair...he is a good assistant coach (Butler, Purdue, Celtics).

Butler is going to kick the tires on Nored, Drew, Groce, Steele, and McCaffery I would bet. HUGE hire for our young AD.

McCaffery would shock me.

Why does he get to skip the draft?

 

[ab2cmiller]

Why does he get to skip the draft?

Not totally sure why, but supposedly he's not eligible for the NFL Draft

 

[MacIrish75]

Why does he get to skip the draft?

I have no clue and am just as confused about that.

 

[Henges24]

Randomly looked up Dom Campbell (F, for the bball team in Brey’s last year) and he no longer plays basketball. Plays offensive line for UCF now.

 

[sfk324]

I believe he would have been eligible for the 2025 NFL Draft since he graduated last year, and since he was not drafted, he is a free agent.

 

[KMac151993]

McCaffery would shock me.

I agree and wouldn't want it.

[ab2cmiller]

My first and only reaction was to assume it's related to Shrews. Then I read some replies that implied we might have some "defections". Who knows.

 

[sfk324]

There are rumors about Kyle Getter going to Pepperdine

 

[arrowryan]

Who?

 

[Ndaccountant]

Who?

He was the dude from UVA I think. But hard to be upset about anything departing from this sinking ship.

We need upgrades at coaching and personnel. We should at a minimum force him to replace some of his assistants and upgrade via the portal. Definitely need some real help inside

…and outside. Inside and outside. We need to get them on the run once and keep them on the run. Only pass when their defense gets up too close. We’re gonna go, go, go, go. And we’re not gonna stop until the ball goes in the hoop. And that day will be the day we’re gonna finish at least in the top half of the ACC.

Rockne BB speech?

 

[Irish#1]

I suspect Rockne would have better results that Shrews.

Shit. He is a friend of mine. I’ll see what the scoop is.

 

[Dale]

Aren’t there rumblings of Shrewberry potentially resetting the clock at Butler? Don’t expect Butler will ultimately do that though.

 

[NDPhilly]

Giant bust anyway
