Motivated by late father, Charlotte Whittaker eager to play role with CU Buffs women’s basketball

Just three months after arriving in Boulder from her home in Cust, New Zealand, Charlotte Whittaker has yet to play a game for the Colorado women’s basketball team, but with a warm smile and friendly laugh, she’s already bonded with coaches, teammates, custodians and almost everyone else she’s met.

“Bottom line, Charlotte is one of the finest human beings I’ve ever met,” CU head coach JR Payne said. “She is unbelievably selfless, she is always upbeat, always positive. She is friends with anyone that’s ever met her.”

On top of all that, the 6-foot-4 forward who can muscle up in the paint and drain a 3-pointer, has the talent to be a crucial piece to the puzzle for a Buffaloes’ program that is looking to finally get on a winning path.
