Nolan Berry, a 6-foot-8 power forward, committed to the Bulldogs after unofficially visiting Boston College and Butler last weekend.

Kevin Poelker, Berry's coach, saw Butler as the perfect fit.

"I certainly knew (Butler) academically because we had kids go there from our school," Poelkner said. "It was more about academics than athletics (in the past). We know what they've done in basketball. [Berry's] a high-major recruit but he's not your typical high-major personality.

"He's a highly skilled face-up four man. He can shoot it from 3, get to the rim and can finish at the rim. He's a great passing big man, especially for the high school level. His basketball IQ is a big part of his game."
