I think you're reading this wrong. She just came off a visit to NC State
She has an Instagram post in Hokies gear from recently but I can't see the full post.
Yeah, but there's no commitment message on either platform, I dont think she's announced a decision
No she committed
Yep, just saw the article posted below. It was a little bit weird of a commitment announcement and that threw me off. Awesome get from coach Brooks
I too would want to GTFO of College Park/Twerpville
But they can walk to Target!
BIG commitment for the program! All the sports at VT recently have been pulling their weight. This is the kinda stuff you love to see!

I think Amoore slides to the two next year and I would look for VT to start out as a preseason top 10 team.
I think you may be right. They're carbon copies of each other in the ATO margin and PPG departments, but Amoore is much deadlier from range, so it would make sense to put her off ball to get separation.
Owusu is also half a foot taller which should help when driving to the lane.
Also, just saw the updated roster; lots of names missing from last year.
No Shamarla King, No Rochelle Norris
Both are in the portal. The portal giveth and the portal taketh.
This is going to be interesting... Amoore can really stroke it from downtown, but damn is she dirty with the ball in her hands. I can't count the number of ankles she broke this season.
Kenny Brooks will have a lot of fun working with those two at basically the same position!
Yeah... after rereading what I wrote...
Officially signed.
Two years of eligibility?
Projected to go top 10 though.
This is pretty amazing. Owusu and Kitley are going to do a ton of damage next season! I feel like women's basketball is such a different animal than men's basketball and it takes longer to build strong programs because there is a much wider gap between the top teams and the rest, but Coach Brooks is really building something special at VT.
Right now the roster looks like
Starters:
C Kitley
G Amoore
G Owusu
G King
G Traylor
Backups
F Ford
F Gregg
W Geiman
W Wenzel
W Dunn
10 players; 3 bigs, 7 guards.
So ANOTHER Top 10 Hokie sports team for us? Cool cool!
