"College basketball programs have a good feeling about Brust, a class-of-2010 recruit out of Mundelein (Ill.) Cons High, as well. After averaging 17 points and five rebounds per game as a sophomore, Brust has racked up 10 scholarship offers from places like Butler, Davidson, Southern Illinois, Bradley and Valparaiso.

???I never expected to have this many offers at this age,??? Brust said.

Brust is also hearing from Washington State, Stanford, Northwestern and the Irish.

???I??™m excited about the fact that Notre Dame is recruiting me,??? Brust stated. He gets regular emails from the Notre Dame coaching staff, and talks once a month on the phone with assistant Sean Kearney.

Brust also visited Notre Dame??™s campus last basketball season for the DePaul game.

College programs are recruiting Brust as a combo guard.

Brust has a 3.5 GPA, and isn??™t sure when he??™ll be making a college decision. He just knows it won??™t be anytime soon.

???I want to go somewhere I??™m wanted,??? Brust said. ???I don??™t want to go somewhere I have a chance, I want to be wanted. I want to like the system they play, that??™s going to fit me. Also, just the players, the coaches, a little bit of everything.???

Quick have that announcer from the BU/MSU game call this guy......BU is the place to go if you like to shoot the 3.

[lake Camelot]

I'm not interested in him. He says he's exited about being offered by Notre Dame. Something is wrong with the kid.

Brust is a priority Butler recruit for 2010.

2010 recruit Ben Brust suffered a broken leg Saturday night and will miss 4-6 weeks of action.

I know this sounds bad... but does him having a broken leg during an important part of the season help our recruiting by other people backing off?

I like this kid.

[Da Coach]

It has historically helped lower level schools, as high-profile schools, and BCS-type schools have other recruits they can turn to.

For example, Bradley might not have gotten Eddren McCain if he had not had an injury in high school that caused other schools to back off. And farther back, Eric Roberson would likely have landed at a Big East school except for a severe knee injury that knocked him down to a mid-major recruit.

[jeffsu]

GO LES! Keep talking to Brust now when he's hurt! We'll be the team that stuck with him

Butler is considered a mid-major, but Davidson is a big-time program? I must have fallen asleep and then woke up in a parallel universe!
