Center Grove's Andrew Smeathers accepts a scholarship offer from the Butler men's team


Center Grove's Andrew Smeathers accepted a scholarship offer from the Butler men's team.

The 6-6 Smeathers looked to be a low-level NCAA Division-I prospect during his junior season at Center Grove, but earned a spot on the Indiana Boys Junior All-Stars squad and followed that up with strong performances on the summer basketball travel circuit.



"Every college coach I talked to knew I could shoot," said Smeathers, who also seriously considered an offer from William & Mary. "They wanted me to do the little things. My whole focus these first two weeks in July was just to rebound and hustle on every play I could. That's what I did and my rebounding was off the charts."
