Virginia Tech coach Kenny Brooks remembers feeling special, and lucky. He was in Atlanta watching an AAU basketball tournament, one of several dozen coaches hoping to lure a program-changing recruit to his school, when someone with no chance of being that player ambled past. It was Raven Kitley, the sister of two-time ACC player of the year Elizabeth Kitley. The two-time Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year, led the No. 4 Hokies to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament this season. They’ll face No. 16 Chattanooga on Friday.
