Russ Rose Then (2018): “Brooklynn is an individual who we’ve had at camp, who’s worked hard to solidify her game. She played libero for both her club and high school teams, and has a good touch on the ball and plays really hard and possesses a good serve. She’ll come in and compete with some of the older players for playing time. Anytime you find people that are aggressive, physically mature, are going to work hard and want to be in your program, they can always find ways to make a program better.”
