With the announcement that Coach Brooks had added an additional five players to the roster to go along with the two who signed last fall, I was immediately drawn to the fact the we only lost three players to graduation. I may have missed some news but I didn't think I missed the fact that a total of seven players were gone so that the aforementioned seven new adds could be accommodated.
So I looked at the roster ending with the WNIT games last winter and discovered that in addition to the graduation of Young, Powell and Campbell, we are also missing underclassmen Gilmer, Koshuta, Croker and Nahodil. I know there's always some transition when a new coach comes on but I couldn't find any news about these four.
Anyone??

Former 5 star player, Koshuta transferred to JMU.

Women's Hoops is very under the radar, so good luck finding stuff for some of the players. None of those four were really ACC level players (Koshuta could have been if she could get in shape), so for the most part the team will be better off. It will be very interesting to see how things play out in the first year under Kenny.

Here is the link on Gilmer. Nahodil twitter accounto still show her as part of the program, so not sure what is going on there.
Everything about the WBB program and players is a great improvement from top to bottom. Solid hire here and VT should move out of the basement this year.
I agree that it was a solid hire, and look forward to an uptick in ACC performance as well. With all that Whit has had to do to get us moving, I haven't been disappointed yet with any of his picks. Whether we move out of the cellar this year or not, after all it even took Buzz a couple of years, I do believe we will be competitive sooner than later.
Now, on to baseball, Whit!
Bitter irony is that a bunch of players were going to transfer if Wolff wasn't fired. Then when he was fired, first thing the new coach did was tell a bunch of players to GTFO. I don't know how much overlap was in the two groups, but still... damn.
