Former Illinois commit Jase Butler is back on the market after being released from his NIL with the Illini on April 8, but he may not stay uncommitted for long. The California-based guard is set to visit Washington on Wednesday and could become the next Huskies commitment should all go well on the trip.

Cal is the other school most heavily involved with Butler. And while the Golden Bears remain a real threat, Washington has established itself as the team to beat in recent days. The quicker Butler makes a decision, the better it looks for the Huskies as head coach Danny Sprinkle will try to seal the deal with the four-star guard this week.

Young man you are going to LOVE L.A.!!!!

I just heard this and not sure if it's true. Are there any penalties for teams that choose NOT to participate because of travel? I would assume that when submitting forms for playoffs, they would know what happens if they participate in the playoffs and the possibility of travel. I remember this happened in Norcals a few years ago on the boys side. A team didn't want to travel to a Northern Section team so cancelled. I'm not sure what the consequences were or are if this happens. Anyone know?

Co-Players of the Year Jordan Lee of St. Mary’s and Nina Cain of McClatchy lead an impressive roster.

I am looking to give it to the right person.

El Cerrito lost a lot of Senior leadership but have a lot of underclassmen who played varsity returning and some transfers coming in. Since they play in a weak league looks like they scheduled a solid non league schedule.

8/30 Amador Valley
9/6 @ Monterey Trail
9/13 @Oakland Tech
9/20 Campolindo
9/27 De La Salle

They could possibly be 1-4 headed into league

I know he has a lot of non HS coaching experience but I like when schools hire a successful local HS coach.

Also opens up a big HS job
