Ep. 8 Alana Gilmer | The Power 5 vs. Mid Major Experience & Advice For Transfers | Marist Women's Basketball


Listen Later

Alana Gilmer started her college career at Virginia Tech playing in the ACC but ended up becoming one of the best to ever play at Marist College. She goes into depth on her decision to commit to VT, why she transferred out and how she adjusted to a new school and a redshirt season. This was a fun conversation to have with a former "rival" and I hope it helps anyone who may be going through a similar situation.
