Hollingsworth, the Rams’ all-Colonial Athletic Association post player, arrived at VCU in 2004 as a 15-year-old high school prodigy. She will depart in May as a 20-year-old woman who has earned an undergraduate degree, made significant progress toward her master’s and – in her spare time – helped transform the school’s women’s basketball program from dreary to something resembling dynamic. She particularly is proud of the latter accomplishment. From the moment she signed her VCU letter of intent, Hollingsworth said, “I had one goal. I wanted to make this program better. I knew it wasn’t going to be a cakewalk. I knew I wasn’t coming to a team that could guarantee me four rings and four NCAA tournaments. But that was OK. Whatever I got, I wanted to earn. I didn’t want anything given to me. I wanted to see my team and my program grow. I wanted to be able to say, ‘I helped do that. I was a part of that.’”http://www.timesdispatch.com/rtd/sports/college/college_basketball/article/VCUW12_20090311-215704/229400/
