The wait for Butler's first 2018 commit is finally over.

Markeese Hastings, a 6-7 forward out of Godwin Heights High School (Mich.), announced his commitment on Twitter Saturday night.

Hastings averaged 14.6 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 blocks and 2.1 assists last season. Hastings also had offers from Cleveland State, Miami (OH) and Oakland, among others.

Godwin Heights is consistently ranked one of the top programs in Michigan, winning a state title during Hastings' freshman season and losing just one regular season game last season before getting knocked out in regionals.

The Bulldogs have offers out to a number of other 2018 players. They have one 2019 commit, Carmel junior John Michael Mulloy.
