Thank you Rose for persevering, staying at VT, and having a superb year! Consider these facts and observations. After transferring to VT from Minnesota (quite the move), our former coach benched Rose and she did not even play in 10 games. (She only played the last 4 games after Liz got hurt.) Last year, Rose averaged 4 points and 3 boards per game. This year, Rose was a completely different player. She averaged over 12 points and 7 rebounds. And she was our primary post player who often got called improperly for fouls whenever she set a pick that the opponent did not see coming. If I were a post player, I would look at Rose's results and come to Blacksburg to play for Coach Duffy and Coach Hoover (and the other coaches as well). Rose, you will always hold a special place as a winner at Virginia Tech. Thank you.
