Why Kahlon Chose Manhattan: "The basketball program, location and the coaching staff in addition to the great educational system."

Vulin on Kahlon: "Rotem is going to bring us experience and poise as a freshman.  She spent the last two years serving her country in the military but also playing a high level of basketball.  Her overall floor game is impressive, and she has the ability to make plays on both the offensive and defensive end."
