Former ODU guard Goodhope at VCU

Former Old Dominion guard Galaisha "GG" Goodhope is at Virginia Commonwealth.

The 5-5 junior, who was dismissed from the Lady Monarchs, will be eligible for the 2015-16 season. VCU coach Beth O'Boyle said the former Princess Anne High School star is practicing with the team.

"She's here; she joined our roster at semester," O'Boyle said. "She's obviously athletically talented and strong, and we're looking forward to having her on the team."

Goodhope, a top 100 recruit by ESPN, was named to the CAA's All-Rookie team as a freshman and averaged 8.1 ppg last year when she led the Lady Monarchs in assists (8.1). A biology major, Goodhope was also named to the Conference USA All-Academic team last year with a 3.75 GPA. She plans to attend medical school.

ODU's Barefoot scores big on recruiting trail with Princess Anne's Goodhope

Karen Barefoot has struck again.

Princess Anne High School star Galaisha Goodhope, a top 100 player according to ESPN, has verbally committed to Old Dominion for the class of 2012. The 5-4 point guard chose ODU over Miami, Virginia Tech, Liberty, Elon (where Barefoot coached before accepting the ODU job in June), Charlotte and VCU. Her father, Orlando, credited his daughter's strong connection with Barefoot in making her collegiate choice.

Goodhope is the second player Barefoot has nabbed for the Lady Monarchs. Warwick High School's LaQuanda Younger, the Peninsula District Player of the Year, and a first team all-state pick, verballed last month. Goodhope was a second team all-state pick as a junior last season.
