Alana Gilmer started her college career at Virginia Tech playing in the ACC but ended up becoming one of the best to ever play at Marist College. She goes into depth on her decision to commit to VT, why she transferred out and how she adjusted to a new school and a redshirt season. This was a fun conversation to have with a former "rival" and I hope it helps anyone who may be going through a similar situation.Timestamps 2:00 - Upbringing, HS, AAU, Getting Recruited, Why Virginia Tech6:00 - What She Wishes She Would Have Considered Before Committing8:30 - Her Freshman Year at Virginia Tech11:40 - Why She Transferred and How She Ended Up at Marist17:30 - Biggest Differences Between Virginia Tech & Marist20:30 - Takeaways From Redshirt Year and Having To Sit Out25:30 - Advice For Someone Who MIGHT Want To Transfer28:00 - What a Typical Individual Workout Would Look Like32:20 - Versatility of The Marist Offense35:15 - Playing To Your Strengths vs Working On Weaknesses38:00 - Consistency, Coming Back From Bad Games, The Marist Fan Base41:25 - Favorite MAAC Gym To Play In44:45 - Favorite Player in The MAAC From 2019 - 2020 Season47:00 - Playing Overseas & What To Be Aware Of
