Ellis also has offers from Kansas State, Minnesota, Northwestern, Tennessee and Wichita State.

Butler has two scholarships available in the 2013 class.

Chrishawn Hopkins has been dismissed from the Butler basketball program.

Hopkins averaged 9.1 points over 37 games last season, including 24 as a starter.

In a statement, coach Brad Stevens said: “We consider it a privilege to represent Butler University as a member of our team. With that privilege, comes a requirement and responsibility to meet the standard of our team rules. Dismissal is the consequence of failure to do so.”
