Matt Brady managed to land Butler Guard Devontae Morgan this week. Morgan certainly didn&#8217;t play much (think walk-on minutes) for the Bulldogs the last two years, but he was a Brad Stevens recruit and we&#8217;d say that speaks well of him in addition to the fact he&#8217;ll have a year to develop his game while sitting out and then still have two years of remaining eligibility.
