Signing Norman
"Karysn is a quick point guard with a high basketball IQ who makes her teammates around her better," Parkinson said. "She has deep range on her shot and can get after the ball defensively."
 
Why Norman Chose Butler
“I wanted to choose a program where I felt my talents were valued and where I could be around good people. I had that feeling right away after meeting with the Bulldog coaching staff. Butler was always a dream school of mine and I'm excited to compete in the BIG EAST. Outside of athletics, Butler is a great academic school and I know that whatever career I chose later in life, having a Butler degree will help me.”
