Butler is in the mix for a player who could become the third New Yorker on its college basketball roster.
Femi Olujobi, a 6-8 power forward from North Carolina A&T, announced Saturday on Twitter that Butler is among his final four transfer destinations. The others are Georgetown and DePaul, also in the Big East, and Hofstra.
The Bulldogs are in the mix for at least two other transfers: 6-5 guard Austin Reaves of Wichita State and 6-3 guard Jamal Johnson of Memphis.
