If recent history is any indication, he's headed for the low country and the College of Charleston.
Why recruit your own players when you can poach from one of the best DII recruiters and coaches in the country?!

He’s an interesting prospect at the D1 level. He was West Liberty’s primary post guy so at times you can forget he’s actually a guard. He can score from anywhere. His accomplishments suggest maybe he could play higher than the CAA, but he’s a bit of a tweener size wise. Is he quick enough to play guard night in night out at a high mid major or even power 6? I’ll be curious to see where he goes. I’m rooting for him.
You never know how this will turn out, but I'd be surprised if he ends up at poor D1 or another DII.

Every player who enters the portal has a different set of reasons for doing so. In Butlers case, that reason isn't that he wants to be "the man" or to get more playing time or that he feels "under appreciated." Also not because he's on a bad team and wants the chance to play for a winner. He has ALL that at WLU. His reason smacks 100 percent of wanting to see how he does at a D1 (and probably a good D1).

Interesting times. Soon we'll see the D2 redshirt totally disappear. Odds are they won't be in your program in four years anyway so why bother with the redshirt season.
These D2 stars are getting crazy interest immediately upon entering the Portal. The kid from Seton Hill had 35+ programs contact him. Tomiwa is well over 40 from what I've heard. Granted, they don't all offer, but they come calling quick.
To your point, the College of Charleston is also heavily after former Wheeling player John Korte (and Tomiwa).
DIIs generally have been slow to react to the new transfer game. As D1s now mine the DII ranks, DIIs need to do a better job mining the D3 and NAIA ranks.

I wouldn't be shocked if he ends up in Morgantown.

I don’t think Butler would be top 8 at WVU. His minutes would be low. A D2 AA last year was 4th in minutes this season for a .500 MAC school, where he shot 39% from the floor and 26% from three. Going to a P5 school is a much steeper climb. Butler is a tremendous D2 player though and easily can jump up to D1, but probably not P5

I think that things will settle down in a few years. Once kids see the percentages of kids who actually wind up going to a better situation is smaller than they thought, they'll think twice about it.
Second year in a row he lost his best player to the transfer portal.
To your point, not only do so many not find a better spot, many don't find a spot at all.

Lombardi said about a month ago in an interview something along the lines of "we don't have to worry about the transfer portal here."

I'll say it again... I told everyone last year that Foster opened the door at IUP. Everybody scoffed at me, writing it off as a "one off" because he had graduated and put in his time with the program. May have been true, but the cat is out of the bag now. The #HawkFamily culture isn't keeping guys in Indiana anymore.
