Butler’s 2015 class has 3 open spots remaining and the 2016 class is still empty, but that didn’t stop them from landing their first member of the 2017 class. Butler offered 6’6″ forward David Caraher today and he wasted no time in pledging his commitment to the Bulldogs. The North Carolina native is good friends with current Butler point guard Tyler Lewis (sitting out a year due to transfer rules) and was considered a heavy Butler lean even without a offer. Rick Lewis broke the news on twitter:

Per source, 6'6 '17 David Caraher has verbally committed to Butler after receiving official. Great fit for both! NC Top 80 alum — Rick Lewis (@Coach_Rick57) February 18, 2015

David is currently a sophomore at Chapel Hill High School in North Carolina. He is rated a 4 star player by 247 Sports and is ranked as the 72nd best player and 16th best small forward in the country. Caraher is a versatile wing who can fill all areas of the stat sheet. At one point this season he was averaging 20 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists per game (last stat update found was in mid January).

Be sure to follow the message board for updates on David and other Butler recruits throughout the high school season.
