Butler basketball recruiting classes Akeem Glaspie, IndyStar
INDIANAPOLIS – Years of inferior recruiting classes might have finally caught up to Butler basketball.
The Bulldogs, 15-13 overall and 6-9 in the Big East, have their last regular-season chance for a signature victory in Saturday’s game at Villanova (21-8, 12-4).
Villanova has been a model for how to build a championship team without top-rated recruits. From 2012 through 2017, its recruiting classes never ranked higher than 27th nationally, according to 247 Sports.
