🏀 A NEW ERA OF BUTLER HOOPS

A new era of Butler Basketball is officially here with Butler alums Ronald Nored and Maria Marchesano returning to Indianapolis to take over the reigns of the ‘Dawgs.

🔼 Helping Hands. There’s no off day for the Butler football program, who spent their day away from the gridiron on Tuesday by participating in Day of Service with Universal Cares.

The ‘Dawgs chipped in to help some local elderly women by completing some labor intensive projects around their homes!

Great job fellas!

🔼 No Rain On Our Parade. Even some rain couldn’t stop the Butler Baseball team from picking up its ninth win the past 12 games on Tuesday afternoon.

Matthew Rhoades had two of the ‘Dawgs six hits to lead Butler to a 8-5 midweek victory over visiting Ball State. The game was called after five innings due to weather issues.

⚾️ The Full Recap

🔼 New Addition. The first new addition of the Coach Nored era is officially a Bulldog.

Eduardo Klafke, who spent the last two seasons at Ole Miss, signed to join the Butler men's basketball program for the upcoming 2026-27 season.

Klafke, a 6-5 guard, saw action in 70 Ole Miss games over the last two seasons and is a 45-percent shooter from three-point range during his collegiate career.

🏀 More On The Newest Bulldog

🔼 Happy Homecoming. The Butler Bulldogs’ all-time leader in career assists, Aaron Thompson, returns to the Butler men's basketball program as the Director of Player Development on head coach Ronald Nored's staff.

Thompson returns to his alma mater after spending the last three seasons on the George Washington coaching staff. For the last three seasons, he was a part of Chris Caputo's staff at George Washington, helping the Revolutionaries to 55 wins and two postseason appearances during that time.
