So far having a pretty unremarkable Senior season for Georgia Tech.
GT is unranked, 12-7 overall. 1-5 in the ACC (14th in 15 team ACC).
Breanna is a reserve player averaging 9 minutes per game (10th on a 12 player roster), 2.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg and shooting .409 from the field.
Hope she's enjoying her graduate work. I say that sincerely.
(For comparison, last year Bre started 27 of 36 games for the 31-5 top 10 ranked, Pac-12 Champions, averaging 7.8 ppg, 5.8 rpg and .508 shooting in 21 min/game. OSU averaged 4353 per game attendance. GT currently averaging 1200/game)

Last year when she announced her decision I made a comment that she had better be doing it for the education, that she probably wouldn't see much floor time. They aren't that great but they had an abundance of girls in the 6' 3" - 4". Given that she is a one and done player more development (and playing time) will be spent on the younger players there for more time.
As a beaver she was a good player that was able to play to her strengths and she had a cohort in Kolby that she could share time with so her propensity to foul was less of an issue.
It was a very solid decision made given the quality of Georgia Tech's business school and I wish her the best. |

Bre's transfer from OSU to GT provides an excellent example of the importance of role players in a team sport.
Squonk pointed out quite well in the above post that individual talent does not transfer uniformly from one team to another.
Bre was a very good player, a starter, a ferocious rebounder, and a somewhat productive scorer on a nationally ranked team that won its Conference.
She transfers to a weaker team, with less overall talent, a team that needs her strength and maturity, and at her new school she (a) plays less, (b) scores less, and (c) rebounds less. A head scratcher.
I don't know enough about GT to provide much insight into why this happened. Perhaps bib nailed it in his post.
One thing Bre's transfer does point out, something we already know, is that Coach R. maximizes his available talent superbly and then converts it to maximize team productivity. He is something of a wizard in that regard.
Good luck to Bre. She has already learned a vital life lesson about the Business World she is preparing to enter: The quality of the leader shapes the quality of the organization.
