Russ Rose Then (2006): “Brooke is a utility player in that she can contribute to the team from either the front row or the back row positions She possesses a great attitude and really cares for the team.”
Russ Rose Now (2025): “Brooke was a player from New York who we had in camp. She had really long arms. At one point after she graduated, she was a model, and she was referred to as the model with the longest legs. There was not a lot of playing time available, but she was a key part of the fabric of the team, well received by everyone, and always had a smile and a really pleasant young lady.”
