Mebbe not lead the team in scoring???? How about she's not even in the top 5. Like we told you it was gonna be, unless really, really bad things happened to this team. And one of them, Westbrook denied, did happen. And she's still not in the top 5.

Come on, put on your big boy pants and admit you were wrong. "Yea, I was completely out to lunch, I don't know what I was thinking."

Look, we knew she was as athletic as h*ll. And we hoped/thought she could have an impact on the team, which she has. But lead the team in scoring???? No freaking way.

p.s. She's most likely not leading the team in scoring next year either. Look, she might (might) eventually be as good as Gabby Williams (which would be unbelievable if she could get there), but still, Williams never led the team in scoring. Even as a 2 time AA.

No, i m not out-to-lunch ... have our team-leading scorers helped us against SC, Oregon or Baylor?

Are you possibly saying that Liv, Paige, Aaliyah, Mir & Aubrey can't put the ball in the hoop? Amazing!

i m not talking bout scoring but i m talking bout winning! the old fashioned way, with defense and rebounding, a worthwhile scheme, eh?

What nonsense, last time I looked putting “the ball in the hoop” had everything to do with scoring and nothing to do with defense and rebounding, eh.
 
Aubrey has the ability to be a NDPOY. But in order to do that she will have to earn more PT. In order to do that she has to improve her offense. Specifically, Aubrey has to be a better finisher at the rim. In addition she has to develop a consistent jump shot. She doesn’t necessarily have to be able to shoot well from the arc, so long as she can develop a decent 15-20’ shot, similar to Gabby’s.

Well, they've helped us a lot more than Griffin did in those games. What was it? 5 points total in those 3 games?? Eh?

You may be right. You may be more like out to breakfast, not sure you've even made it to lunch time, eh?. :rolleyes: :cool:

Next to Liv, Aubrey will be the best WNBAer from this current team .

Dude, man you gotta stop this stuff. Coming up with crazy stuff is not a good look. You know the story of the boy who cried wolf?

Jingo said:
We'll see about her scoring over the next four years, eh? You have your ideas; and I have mine :)
Expand ...
Oh yea. And never the twain shall meet it seems. And so far, not looking so good for your ideas.

Jingo said:
Let's have fun with her journey :)

Well, I'm gonna have fun. But I'm thinking you're gonna be disappointed.

Resorting to personal insults and name-calling does not bolster your case .. bye...

Agreed!

Easier said than done. There's a plethora of talented athletes that have never become good offensive players ... to presume that all it takes is a little practice is bogus .... you've got to have good offensive instincts, as well and I haven't seen anything to suggest that she has those instincts .... if she helps UConn win games I'm a happy man but I am uncertain why so many people here suggest that she'll be anything but a nice player?

I really like our 2 freshman. Aubrey and Anna are both going to be excellent players for the next 3 years. Aubrey has unlimited potential and reminds me of Gabby a lot. I could definitely see her getting NDPOY by the time she is a senior.

I venture to say that she'll never approach Gabby on any level but particularly on the offensive side. Gabby became a very nice offensive weapon for the Huskies and that was a nice surprise but it doesn't happen too frequently, no matter how much practice time some kids put in

You sound like a TN coach. You gotta be able to put the ball in the hoop.

I believe the TN philosophy "defense and rebounding" has won a few games .. like more than anybody else, eh?

Not recently. Which is kind of the point. Times have changed, TN hasn't. Don't want UCONN playing like that, rather them win NC's.
