Quick Glance: Kenny Brooks' Virginia Tech Exit and Its Impact on Kentucky
- Two days after fourth-seeded Virginia Tech was upset in the second round of the women's NCAA tournament, Kenny Brooks has stepped down to take over as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats.
- Brooks boasts an impressive career record as a Division I head coach with a .717 winning percentage in 22 seasons. He replaces Kyra Elzy in Lexington after she was let go due to consecutive losing seasons.
- Brooks brings a successful tenure at Virginia Tech, where he led the team to a Final Four appearance and led the ACC in offensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage. In contrast, Kentucky ranked last in both categories this past season.
- Brooks' departure signifies a time of transition for Virginia Tech, as the team was already facing changes with key players potentially leaving. The Hokies now need to find a new coach who can continue the success under Brooks, while the ACC navigates a period of uncertainty.
Virginia Tech guard Georgia Amoore enters transfer portal, per source: Will she follow Kenny Brooks to Kentucky?

Quick Glance: Virginia Tech's Georgia Amoore Enters Transfer Portal Following Brooks' Departure
- Virginia Tech's standout point guard, Georgia Amoore, has reportedly joined the transfer portal, as confirmed by the school on Monday.
- This announcement comes on the heels of Virginia Tech coach Kenny Brooks departing for the head coaching position at Kentucky women's basketball team a week prior.
- Having reached her senior year, Amoore was faced with a deadline on Monday to opt for the 2024 WNBA draft or extend her collegiate career using the additional eligibility due to the pandemic.
- Standing at 5 feet 6 inches, the Australian-born point guard played a pivotal role in Virginia Tech's rise as a dominant force in the ACC and nationally. With impressive averages of 18.8 points and 6.8 assists per game in her senior season, she departs as the program's all-time assists leader. Despite Amoore's contributions that led Virginia Tech to their first Final Four appearance in 2023, the team exited the NCAA tournament in the second round this year, facing postseason challenges without star player Elizabeth Kitley due to injury. Amoore is poised to make an immediate impact wherever she lands and is currently viewed as a top prospect in the transfer portal.

- The Lakers led 69-61 at halftime and maintained a double-digit lead through most of the fourth quarter. Memphis closed the third quarter with a 21-4 run to cut the deficit to 102-92, but couldn't catch up to the Lakers' lead.
- Brandon Clarke made an emotional return after a long injury layoff, receiving a warm reception from fans. The Lakers' end-of-season performance echoes their successful playoff run in the previous season, showing signs of a promising postseason ahead.

theathletic.com/5392786/2024/04/04/georgia-amoore-kentucky-transfer/
Quick Glance: Georgia Amoore Transfers from Virginia Tech to Kentucky: Impact on Wildcats
- Georgia Amoore's transfer to Kentucky follows Virginia Tech's announcement of hiring Megan Duffy. Amoore's 'do not contact' request indicated her predetermined transfer plans. Duffy's successful coaching history with the Golden Eagles sets the stage for Amoore's transition to Kentucky.

- Amoore's elite playmaking skills and deep understanding of the game will be instrumental in enhancing Kentucky's performance. Her role as a player-coach figure will elevate the team's dynamics and foster growth under the new coaching regime.
- Playing a pivotal role both on and off the court, Amoore's expertise and strategic gameplay will significantly impact the Wildcats' overall performance, providing a valuable asset to the team's development and success moving forward.
