Andrew Smeathers to transfer from Butler

Yep.  That's right.  I will be changing the background to this blog shortly after I write this post.  Andrew Smeathers, Butler's sharpshooter who has seen limited action in two seasons mainly due to injury and the emergence of Roosevelt Jones, is transferring from Butler but will finish out the current academic semester.  This is a puzzling move for Butler fans because one would think that Jones' injury opened up over 30 minutes in Butler's rotation.  Maybe the strong offensive play of Elijah Brown and the strong defense of Devontae Morgan, coupled with Butler's three forward lineup, gave Smeathers the notion that minutes would be hard to come by.  Nonetheless, Smeathers is gone and although he could have made an impact, other players such as the two I just mentioned are more than capable of stepping up in his absence.
