Butler, a 6-11, 240-pound center, attends Philadelphia's Celestial Prep. He averaged 24 points, 16 rebounds and 12 blocks per game last season at North Cambridge Catholic (MA) and is widely regarded as one of the top 10 centers in the class of 2002. Butler attended the Nike All-America Camp this summer.
Robinson, a 6-7, 200-pound combination forward, attends Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, VA, the same school that produced current standout, Kevin Lyde. Now in his senior campaign, Antywane is averaging 10 points and nine rebounds per game, while shooting 63% from the floor, on an Oak Hill team that will attempt to repeat as national champion.
Blackshear is a 6-6, 220-pound power forward who attends Philadelphia's Simon Gratz High School. As a junior, Michael averaged 10 points and 12 rebounds per game and earned All-League honors on a team that won the Public League Championship.
Coach Chaney said of the three signees: "We are thrilled that these three student-athletes have decided to attend Temple University. Each comes from a very special family, and will have an immediate impact on our basketball program."
