FWST: TCU transfer hopes to give lift to UTA

Forty-five minutes before practice starts, Kevin Butler is shooting around by himself at the second-floor court where UT Arlington practices.

Butler comes straight from study hall to get an early jump for an ordinary Tuesday practice before anyone else arrives.

There's nothing special about this day, except that UTA's practices are an entirely different animal than the ones Butler was accustomed to after spending his first two years at TCU.

"Practices are more intense every day here," he said. "It's more skill work over there. Here it's more about getting after it and working hard." ...

This is good news...... or not.

This is good news...... or not.

Definitely an intentional jab.

Butler was a budding star at TCU. Evidently, the coaching staff wasn't able to provide him what he needed. Hope Kevin prospers at UTA. He's a good guy and a heck of a basketball player.

I think Butler will help them, he is a hard worker. I hope our team will be hard working this year.
