Butler's highest-rated recruiting class gets even bigger with JaKobe Coles commitment

INDIANAPOLIS – Don’t call them a Fab Five yet. They have not done a thing in college basketball. Besides, that is a Michigan thing.

Butler coach LaVall Jordan has Michigan connections, though. So maybe this was a goal all along.

The upshot is that JaKobe Coles’ commitment Sunday gives the Bulldogs their own version of a Fab Five.

The Texan added to what was already the highest-ranked recruiting class in Butler history. This 2020 class has become an unexpected story of college basketball’s offseason, considering the Bulldogs are coming off a rare losing year.
