Butler gained a commitment from Elijah Brown, a 6-foot-3 guard out of Mater Dei High School in Los Angeles.

Brown chose the Bulldogs over San Diego, St. Mary's, San Francisco and St. Joseph's.

Brown is the son of former Los Angeles Lakers coach Mike Brown.

Rotnei Clarke will miss at least the next two games for Butler, including their highly anticipated matchup against Gonzaga at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Clarke’s return date is indeterminate, although he has improved significantly since his scary fall Saturday at Dayton. The transfer from Arkansas did not practice Monday.

Gonzaga is the highest-ranked opponent to visit the 85-year-old fieldhouse since No. 5 North Carolina, the eventual national champion, won at Butler 103-56 on Dec. 20, 1992.
