Could be wrong but I think Littleton will spend a year in a masters program while competing her final year of eligibility and spending time preparing for admission to med school the following year. As noted previously and possibly in a different thread it would be next to impossible playing basketball and completing 1st year med school classes successfully.It will be an interesting situation- choose the most viable med school or choose a school with a med school and a basketball team to get the 1st year paid for....
That is not entirely correct. This is the BY and there is bound to be criticism even a UCONN player were to cure cancer. Natalie walked away from a 36 and 1 team. The team still managed to go 36 and 1 in the season after she walked away. The basis of my criticism was that Natalie could have been a difference maker in that 1 loss. Recall that Bartouly Camara was not healthy and an additional post player would have allowed Gabby and or Napheesa Collier to be flipped to a wing position. This would have been one of UCONN deepest teams ever. C: Azura and Natalie
Didn't Natalie transfer to George Mason because of their post graduate curriculum, which UConn did not offer?
Allegedly.

Wow thanks for sharing, really sad but insightful read. I cant imagine all she's endured and how she still is keeping herself together. I hope she thrives at her new program.There’s a lot more to Destiny than just looking for a right basketball school. She’s already been through more than most adults. Read her story.
The Determination of South Carolina’s Destiny Littleton
No. 1 South Carolina’s biggest X factor shows up when it matters most, largely because the big moments she stares down on the hardwood pale in comparison to what she’s endured in real life
Writing was on the wall for Butler--she was going to be chopped out of the rotation the second Stevens was eligible. Geno keeps a tight rotation and even with all that talent only went 6 deep. In the Final Four game, he infamously kept Stevens on the bench for too long which allowed ND to come back in the 3rd after she was a huge difference maker in the 2nd. Having Butler wouldve made zero difference in the outcome of that season, and to Butler's credit, she had an unbelievable senior season at George Mason playing against weaker competition.

Yes and I hope she gets a chance to start and make it to the WNBA if that is still she what she wants.
This is Destiny’s testimony that she’ll share with her future patients. May she be successful in her professional aspirations.
I could see her following Messer to UCF. Its a one year deal anyways.
Of course you wouldn't have
Correction, AAU team. My apologies @triaddukefanOf course you wouldn't have
Wasn't a major contributor this season. Doesn't look like she played during the ACC tournament or March Madness. I've seen her play when she attended Detroit Edison with Rickea Jackson, DeeDee Hagemann and Gabby Elliott. I enjoyed watching her play.
They played with the same AAU program Michigan Crossover. I forgot that Wiggins went to a different HS.
