Highly touted guard Kaneisha Atwater, who initially signed with Old Dominion but then attended VCU, has transferred to Eastern Florida State College (formerly Brevard Community College). The school, which competes in the National Junior College Athletic Association, is located about an hour away from Atwater's hometown, Fort Pierce, Fla.

The 5-7 Atwater was the first Parade All-American to ever sign with VCU. Atwater committed to ODU under former coach Wendy Larry, but did not attend the school and chose to sit out the season following her senior year at Westwood High School.


Atwater appeared in all 30 games for the Rams last season, starting 12, and averaged 18.6 minutes, 6.2 points, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals.
