Butler on the bench

Good video. At the end of the article (in 2012), Natalie says, "Keith Brown is an amazing coach ...". Oh well.

LOL!
 
I don't know about Natalie's actual house, but Fairfax Station is a rather affluent area. Plus, her father is an Annapolis grad, and most of them do rather well. She's got a full scholarship. I bet the family can afford for her to go to South Bend. Whether it was a financial sacrifice or easily affordable, I have no idea--and that's getting too personal for the board--but it was important to Natalie. I'm thrilled that she was there. And I'm doubly thrilled that she saw the impact that a tall rebounder and shot blocker can have.

She signed a financial aid agreement when she transferred so I'm not so sure how affluent her family is.

If UConn offered her a scholarship, why wouldn't she? Doesn't matter how affluent her family is.

In any event, her father is a Managing Director at Grant Thornton, , a major consulting firm, in defense-related areas. Prior to that, he held a high position with Booz Allen. It is safe to think that he is doing very well financially. As mentioned before, the majority of Navy grads do very well in their post-Navy careers.

This depends on many factors. legend has it both Geno and Jim once had their team run to the next game after a bad loss!

Guess I'm surprised you can get financial aid if you're more than well off. Thought you have to qualify based on financial circumstances.

Not for athletic scholarships. See Diamond or Courtney Paris as examples.

Not in the case of athletic scholarships. Those have no constraints with respect to parents' circumstances.

Elena Della Donne also comes from a very affluent family, and she received scholarship offers from many colleges.
 
Sluconn - thanks for posting the video - don't remember seeing it before. With to Naval academy parents and a farm upbringing I suspect discipline and work ethic are pretty firmly entrenched in her make up.

She was showing some great enthusiasm out there, as well. Looked more fired up than the players on the court at times.

It's a SUBTLE, yet promising sign that she's already this pumped about being on the team. It bodes well for next year, IMO.

Well, that's no surprise - SUBTLER is an anagram of BUTLERS !
