Coach Yerty's Comments:
Brooke has made a complete turn-around after transferring to Memphis. It took her a year to adjust to the environment, the training and our systems here. She had a great spring and has put on 10 pounds of muscle. She's strong, she's competitive, her overall play has really improved and I think she's gearing up to have a great senior year. She will do a great job for us in the middle this season.
