"I am thrilled to announce that Caleb is officially a member of the Panther Basketball family," Jordan said. "Caleb's character and work ethic are unquestioned and he will fit in with our team immediately. Caleb brings a great basketball IQ and knack for scoring to our team. His love for the game is admirable and it will help him constantly improve from the day he steps on campus. We are excited to help him develop as a player, student and young man during his time a Milwaukee."

Originally committed to D2 Minnesota-Duluth before his senior year. If he likes the campus, etc, etc, does he become a Panther in 2017?

Even Butler's historic 2008 class included Garrett Butcher. Sent from my SM-G930R4 using proboards

This is very true and maybe I'm just being overly optimistic but from what I've seen from the recruits and the coaching staffs ability to develop players, I don't see any reason why all these guys won't be special. They all need work in some areas of course but they're all pretty good shooters and ball handlers and they have length and pretty good size for their position. But hey only time will tell, most important thing is we all will be hoping for the best.

They all need work in some areas of course but they're all pretty good shooters and ball handlers and they have length and pretty good size for their position. But hey only time will tell, most important thing is we all will be hoping for the best. Dylan Alderson needs to move into the weight room this summer. He doesn't just need strength, but also a ton of lateral quickness. I felt like I was watching his highlight reel at 4/5ths speed. That said, this was also true of Matt Tiby, Kyle Kelm, JJ Panoske and plenty of other Panthers. Alderson's jump from his junior to senior year was pretty incredible; I think he could be a very special player. Caleb Nero will be good, but he's gonna have to do the LaVall Jordan Boot Camp for Defense. He could be really, really special. Vance Johnson is what he is. He could make some advances as a player, but in two years he's not going to be a completely different player. That said, he's pretty good as he is and was totally underutilized in the three full games of his I've seen. Carson Newsome is raw. He has athleticism, but I don't know where his ceiling is. I know he's athletic and I know he could be a player. It's too early to tell. I think we can safely say that 3 of the 4 are great recruits. Newsome is too hard to tell, but this is the perfect situation and he has plenty of time to get better. This team will be fine. Win 15-16 games this year and that's a huge, huge improvement. Just get better at basketball and be good teammates. I look forward to this program growing.

Think you may be overlooking Newsome a bit, he's raw yes but the kid is definitely a baller not to mention the way his game improved from his Jr. to Sr. year. Can only imagine what his improvement will be here. He's this recruiting class' sleeper watch out for him.
