The Butler basketball program has much to be proud of in this decade. They made consecutive Final Fours in 2010 and 2011, and have two other NCAA Tournament appearances to boot. 

However, Butler has struggled to lure in impact recruits that hail from Indianapolis. Indiana and Purdue are primary reasons why.

But Joey Brunk's commitment earlier this week could be a step in the right direction. Could Brunk's verbal pact influence other prospects in the area to make the same choice?

“I don’t know if it has any meaning or not in that regard,” said Jerry Meyer, director of basketball scouting for 247 Sports told the Indy Star.

Time will tell, but Brunk's commitment is a huge positive for the Bulldogs going forward regardless.
