Elijah Weaver 2018 Point Guard - 6'4" 195 lbs Oldsmar Christian School - Oldsmar, Florida AAU: Team Breakdown Adopted by: ConnersvilleBulldog 247 Sports Profile Rivals Profile Scout Profile ESPN Profile
His ranking and schools list would suggest it'd be a hell of an uphill climb, but I like the effort! http://247sports.com/Player/Elijah-Weaver-86624
I'd say it is more trying to capitalize on what should be a relatively easy sales pitch to a recruit. Assuming they don't get Smith, there is going to be virtually an uncontested starting job for a 2018 point guard to play on what should be a very good team for the next few years. If Butler is going to break through and start getting top 50 recruits there is no better opportunity than with the 2018 PG spot. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops mobile app
New thread for the offer. I'll create a header when I get home tonight. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops mobile app
Yeah, he's at the top of my wish list. His skills are obvious, but I also really like how even-keeled he seems to be on the court. No showboating or chirping at the opponent.
Wonder if he waited to announce his final list knowing he was going to get an offer from Butler? Looks extremely comfortable with either hand. Highlight video but still.
I would love to see a future back-court of him and Kamar. We could call them the Florida-Georgia Line. [ducks, as people boo and throw tomatoes at me for making such a cheesy joke...]
If we somehow get this kid, he and Kamar would be an absolute nightmare for teams defensively. Having two guards that long and athletic would be fun to watch, and if Baddley develops at all suddenly Butler would become one of the most athletic teams in the Big East, if not the most athletic. I'm getting way ahead of myself though. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops
There are sometimes athletes, who even if you only saw them warm up without a ball, distinguish themselves just with their ease of movement, he looks like he might be one of those guys. Sent from my iPhone using Butler Hoops
