I found this article in David Woods' IndyStar Blog Archive. This article is from February 2010 written after a come from behind home victory against Loyola.

"I see Chase Stigall becoming a major contributor, perhaps as early as next season and maybe even as a starter."
This could not have been a more accurate prediction, and an excellent one, considering that Chase Stigall averaged 0.7 points per game and 3.1 minutes per game as a Freshman, rarely seeing non-garbage time minutes. Not only did Stigall become part of the regular rotation the following season, but started every game down the stretch of Butler's second Final Four run in 2011. This is why Woods does what he does, because he is a great evaluator of Butler's players. Most Butler fans probably had not even heard of Chase Stigall in February 2010. Next time David Woods makes a bold prediction about the Bulldogs that you might not agree with, listen to it, since there is a good chance that the prediction will one day become a reality.
