Great analysis of the potential recruits. I think it's interesting to note how ofter we are competing against Miami and FSU here, which is unusual for this program and a good sign that we are now being looked at as a viable option for the top in-state recruits who have largely been funneled out-of-state to the likes of UGA, UNC, LSU, etc. over the past decade. I'm pretty sure we haven't landed a HS recruit from south Florida since Carol Ross was the HC, so getting James (and possible package deal with AAU teammate Moncrief) IMHO would be the biggest coup for Butler.
I wasn't aware that Vilaro wasn't returning. For those that are wondering, apparently she has signed to play professionally with the same team as Azania Stewart in the Spanish pro league. Probably not a bad decision for her all things considered, but it's a tough blow for this upcoming season, where 6 of our 10 eligible players will be freshmen.
