Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2934669, member: 6927"] [USER=8987]@DaBball[/USER] dropped this in the non-UConn news thread, but I thought it merited its own space: [URL='https://www.gazettetimes.com/sports/beavers-sports/basketball/osu-women-s-basketball-freshman-post-andrea-aquino-will-redshirt/article_d39b9afb-470d-54c5-9b6d-98d287a02cab.html']OSU women's basketball: Freshman post Andrea Aquino will redshirt this season[/URL] [INDENT]“I’ve decided to redshirt her,” he [Rueck] said in a phone interview. “I just want to use this year for her development.”[/INDENT] It's difficult to imagine how Rueck can shore up his post play after they got owned by Turner and Shepard, but having seen what he accomplished with Hamblin and Gülich, I won't underestimate him. [INDENT]Not having Aquino means the Beavers are thinner in the post and the trio of senior Joanna Grymek (6-8), junior Janessa Thropay (6-2) and freshman Patricia Morris (6-7) will try to fill the void of Marie Gulich.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“You never know how it’s going to play out for anyone,” Rueck said. “So we knew it was going to be a position by committee this year and that it was going to play out into our season, and as things kind of shook out and who was the most prepared for each moment or what does the game demand right now. Do we want to go big, do we want to go small and want do we want to do with that spot. That’s what we’re doing.[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“Until you get into game you don’t know who people are necessarily. So it’s really not any different than I expected. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with Andrea going into the year and so now I know.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
