Jerald Butler - 2017 Guard (Elon)

Not that I know of, but it could be that I didn't hear the JGB angle. RG got brought up a few pages back.

 

Ok. Thanks. It’s a head scratcher. I mean Galloy was there for many years. There’s only so many things that could illicit such a strong response by the university.

Regardless of the reason and honestly, I don’t care about the specifics, it seems like an abrupt change in the culture. I’m hoping it’s for the good.

Not the CAA team I would like to see him land with, but at least I would get to see him play a few more times if he goes to Towson.

 

Gillens-Butler joining Schrage and Lewis at Elon

 

He was a good kid who overcame a lot, wish him well.

 

I am pumped. I will get to see him play and really hope the move to this level works out well for him. I think he can develop into a serious piece of the puzzle at Elon.

 

Good for him. I hope he has a great rest of his career there.

I wish him great success at Elon and thru his entire life.

 

Might have to sneak down to UNCW when they play them...

 

Give it a year he won’t be eligible this year

 

TLew and JGB will still be there, but I get your point...

 

It's hard to go wrong with a trip to Wilmington, anyway.

 

That's the big city for us down in the Morehead City area! LOL!

 

Was just reading this article from last week about Elon's new players and it mentions that JGB had a broken hand this season. That sounded like news to me.

A broken hand is why he didn’t dress in any games after January 5th

JGB is expected to start tonight in his first game as an eligible player for Elon against N.C. Wesleyan. Looking forward to seeing him take the court for the Phoenix tonight.

 

I promise not to bump this thread too often, but he had one heck of a debut. Lead all scorers with 19 points, 9 boards. Drew the defensive assignment of Wesleyan's best returning player and held him to 5 points. Hard to read too much into a blowout win over a DIII school, but it's clear that Schrage has a lot of confidence in him. I'm looking forward to seeing their next game against an actual DI team.

 

Please keep it up
Super happy for butler
