Message: [QUOTE="FanHam, post: 3773279, member: 7690"] I see Aaliyah as potentially the number two star on this team. She has all the tools, the most obvious of which is her aggressive play. Perhaps it is obvious because of its contrast to ONO's sometimes confounding lack of same. Edwards is the rare aggressive big who brings it to Storrs. All the hotshot recent bigs: Charles, Dolson, Stewart, were go-getters after a year or two or three under CW and Geno's tutelage, but no one has to teach Aaliyah anything about intensity. She finishes better than most, runs the floor, toughs it out on defense, digs the ball out of the dirt with second and third efforts and, importantly, she looks comfortable in the passing game. Paige, et al, are sniffing around the edge of being a new prototype WCBB passing team and Aaliyah fits right into that style of play. [/QUOTE]
