She's aggressive and she's a good athlete that plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion down on the blocks. She has really been a big difference-maker for Butler. They really haven't had an inside presence in a while. To come in here and score 28 on us is pretty incredible.

Hats off to Butler. They played an incredible game. On top of that they came in with a chip on their shoulder. They haven't beaten us in a while. They came in and played with great confidence and great intensity and held strong.

Jodie is a taller, stronger guard with great fundamentals and skills at her position. She has great court vision and can get the ball to her teammates to make them successful. Her size and strength will be an asset for us against some of the bigger teams we play. She also has a lot of energy and is a great communicator. She will be able to lead this team by not just her actions, but with her voice.
