Russ Rose Then (1991): “In my opinion, Saundi was, by far, the best recruit out of the East. She’ll be able to help us immediately at the net and, with the necessary gains in strength and experience, I’m sure she’ll have a bright career at Penn State. She may be the biggest sleeper in the country and I know, as she develops, opposing coaches will wonder
