Russ Rose Then (2014): “Simone is physically strong and she’s a great blocker. I think that both her and Ali have good experience as primary passers and good attackers, so I think it takes a good person to have the potential to be able to do that.”

Russ Rose Now (2026): “Simone was one of the one of the top recruits in the country. She was incredibly physical, long arms, strong frame, big hands, great blocker, and as she matured as a player and got better at ball handling and all the other intangibles, she became an All-American player at Penn State. She’s one of the leading scorers in Brazil now and is having a great year. Both she and Ali Frantti are names that are talked about as players who could be brought back to the National Team because of how well they’re doing professionally. She keeps on swinging and is not afraid of the moment. Simone made great contributions to the program and was a great teammate.”
