Message: [QUOTE="PAC-12HoopFan, post: 2937968, member: 8997"] Andrea Aquino is not leaving Corvallis any time soon. The decision to redshirt her this season was a mutual one that Aquino is on board with for a number of reasons. Aquino lived with the the family of fellow OSU frosh teammate Patricia Morris last year in southern California during her senior year of high school. It was a blessing for Aquino that the Morris family reached out and made that happen to take her away from the troubled living situation she had in New Jersey. Aquino and Morris are very close friends who both verbally committed to OSU during their joint official visit together in May 2017. They are sister-like in how they root for each other's success both on and off the court. Aquino is in a very good place with quality coaching and the support of teammates in Corvallis. Current OSU players and other observers who have witnessed her skill set in open practices recognize that she could help the Beavers this season, but understand the importance to her of another year of development before taking the court competitively to play for the Beavs. [/QUOTE]
