COACH MOORE’S TAKE
“We’re excited to add Khady to the Pack. She’s an athletic forward that can run the floor as well as explode around people in the half court. Her length and quickness makes her a factor on the boards on both ends, and her experience at the Power 4 level should make for an easier transition into the ACC.”
