Congratulations, Liz.

Kitley is the 10th player in ACC History to repeat as POY.

Sidenote: Please come back for your COVID year and become only the third three-peater.

If she wants to come back, this will be the first real test of our NIL power. A first round WNBA pick makes what ~$75k? One of the greatest female athletes in VT history so I hopefully believe we can generate $75k in NIL deals.

NIL is why Caitlan Clark is talking about staying at Iowa. There's a good chance she can make more staying in college than being WNBA athlete.

Hell yeah. She's absolute beast.

Now lets go get two championships!

Well deserved. She was getting no respect for national POY from the ESPN commentators for the women's games on Sunday.

Where does Kitley rank on VTs all time athlete list?

Angela Tincher is #1, but Kitley is top 10, no?

In terms of dominance? Top 5+.

Tincher, Mekhi Lewis, Kitley, Bruce, Spyridon Jullien, Queen Harrison (admittedly, my knowledge is since 1992)

She for sure needs one of those banners in Cassell.

As of 2002 she must win a national award.

I think her best national award would be 3rd Team All American last year.

No problem. I think being the star player on the NCAAW championship team will garner her some national recognition awards.

Spyridon Jullien, that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. My first Halloween party he took me under his wing and showed me how to have a good time at a college party.

I had the same experience, but with Alexander Ziegler. Those VT throwers know how to have a good time.

My roommate played on intramural softball team with Bobby Beecher and Bimbo Coles. Got to hang with them some. Remember watching Bimbo play quarters at a party in Foxridge for shots of MD2020!

From the 2018 VT-uva game-"This is when LEGENDS are made!"

There was a time when I thought that stuff was wine.

Georgia Amore was also first team All-ACC. So grats for both of the Lady Hokies!
