How would you rank Natalie Butler as a 2015 prospect

[Bgillon]

I think the fact that we know more about her than is known about H.S. prospects is Bgillon's point. There is a degree of expectation about Natalie based on what she's accomplished in college so far and not what she did in high school. Stating the question differently, what if Natalie were coming out of high school now and displayed the skills, attitude, and work ethic she is now known to possess, where would she be ranked?

Excellent rephrasing of my question. Thank you for clarifying it. My thought was she is joining the 2015 class of 3 so UCONN has 4 incoming new players. We know the 3 are ranked 1,3, and 10 (by some services) so I wondered where would Butler be ranked.

She wouldn't be.

Still have never seen any footage of her. These days nit seems like a mystery.

There are a few "game highlight" video's on You Tube but they are the highlights of Georgetown's opponents. Mostly, all you see is Butler taking the ball after it has gone through the net. Not very illuminating.

Interesting that Georgetown doesn't have one video on You Tube promoting their women's basketball team.

We already have the number 1 ranked class for 2015 with 3 HS stars. but Butler will be eligible with that class. So where would you rank her compared to the 2015 prospects?

With her experience against good competition and high lauded by Doug Bruno as well as others--I'll jump on that bandwagon and say she'll be a terrific replacement for Steff--and to top that off she is getting a year to understand Geno, Uconn, and the UConn system. Are we Uconn WBB fans in for a great future???

After going up against Kia Stokes, Stewie and the #1 team in the nation
for a year in practice, she will be a force to deal with when she puts on a
Uconn uniform in 2015.

RU: Interesting way to look at it. Within that frame of reference, you could probably make the case that there is no Big who is better. (The other side of it is that she is not just coming out of high school at this point, and therefore has an advantage over those who are.)

Tina Charles, 372, 2009-10 (2nd is Stephanie Dolson, 371, 2013-14)

I think Kiah breaks this record if Geno keeps her on the court at least 26 minutes a game.

There is 1 certainty, she will get better at Uconn.
