Signing Kent
"We are pumped we get the opportunity to coach Rachel one more time," Parkinson explained. "Rachel is one of the best shooters I've ever been around and has a unique ability to guard multiple positions on the defensive end. Her familiarity with our system and consistency over the years in scoring the ball will have an immediate impact for our team."

Why Kent Chose Butler
"I chose Butler because of the great campus life that is close to downtown Indy, but still feels like its own community," Kent stated. "I also like the family culture built by the coaches and players."
