Russ Rose Now (2026): “Jelena was a skilled player from Serbia. She was a great teammate and an excellent student. She took a redshirt her freshman season, and didn’t play a lot the next season, so I had conversations with her about other players who were coming in that were going to keep her in a similar position going forward. We talked about options, and she transferred to Virginia, where she had a successful career. She still plays professionally. She was a good player and a great teammate.”
