Virginia Tech center Clara Strack enters transfer portal with 'Do Not Contact' tag

There is a lot of movement happening within the Virginia Tech Hokies women’s basketball program. Recently, a key player decided to leave the program and enter the NCAA transfer portal, and on Tuesday, one of their talented and promising freshmen decided to do the same.

According to women’s college basketball insider Mitchell Northam, Virginia Tech freshman center Clara Strack has also entered her name into the NCAA transfer portal. Strack has entered her name with a “do not contact” tag.

As mentioned before, her move follows that of Hokies All-American point guard Georgia Amoore, who also opted to find a new college basketball home. But predating these two players’ entry into the NCAA transfer portal, Virginia Tech’s women’s basketball coach of eight years, Kenny Brooks, recently became the new women’s basketball coach for the Kentucky Wildcats.

This season is going down as a year to forget for Virginia Tech women’s basketball. Just before the start of the ACC championship tournament, the Hokies lost three-time ACC player of the year Elizabeth Kitley to an untimely injury. The lone bright spot in such a devastating loss for Virginia Tech was the opportunity for Strack to see an increase in her playing time to showcase what she had to offer at the collegiate level.

Strack would play and start in all four of Virginia Tech’s postseason contests: their ACC tournament games against Miami and Notre Dame and two NCAA Women’s Championship Tournament contests with Marshall and Baylor.

In the two ACC games, the Hokies freshman averaged 27.5 minutes per contest. In terms of productivity, Strack averaged 7.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks per game. Not bad for the freshman as she began to settle into her new role. But when the women’s NCAA Tournament started up, Strack really turned up the intensity, averaging 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 3.0 blocks in the tournament. Her field goal percentages also went way, way up as she missed just two of her 15 field goal attempts (13-15), made her lone 3-point try, and went 8-11 from the free throw line.
