Hokies Center Clara Strack Enters Transfer Portal

Clara Strack has entered the transfer portal for Virginia Tech, and Hokie Nation will have to say so long to Strack Attack.

Just one day after her teammate Georgia Amoore submitted her name in the portal, Strack followed suit, as it was announced earlier today.

The 6'5 freshman from Buffalo, N.Y., was the No. 95 overall recruit according to ESPN’s 2023 HoopGurlz rankings. Averaging just 4.5 points and 4.1 rebounds this season, she received starting minutes due Elizabeth Kitley's injury late in the season.

Clara Stark boasted 12.3 points and 6.5 rebounds in her last four games, including 17 and 18 points, respectively, in the rounds of 64 and 32 of the NCAA Tournament.

Strack has a “do not contact” tag on her, similar to the tag that Amoore has, which prohibits the allowance for teams to reach out to players, but instead they can reach out to the teams they desire. It seems most likely that both Amoore and Strack will be heading to Lexington soon to rejoin their previous head coach, Kenny Brooks.

While it would have been a joy for Hokie fans to watch Strack blossom at Virginia Tech like they had hoped, the loss of Brooks as their head coach made that possibility too much of long shot.
