Why Richard Chose Butler
"I chose Butler for the academics, the family culture, and for the basketball program," Richard explained. "I wanted to go somewhere that would push me in all aspects of life and I was able to find that at Butler. The coaches and players welcomed me with open arms, and made me feel like I was part of their family. I am blessed, exited and ready to be a part of The Butler Way. Go Dawgs!"
 
Godlevske on Signing Richard
"Alex has a very high ceiling and we are happy that she is a Bulldog. She is not afraid of contact which will bring toughness to our inside game. I'm really looking forward to watching her grow and develop in our program."
