Message: [QUOTE="TeamFirst!, post: 4160512, member: 11538"] I spent about 2 hours researching Ashlyn yesterday. She has a terrific handle and is a great athlete. Great energy level and quick. Smaller than Paige but similar in many ways, even a better athlete overall maybe. Paige obviously has a gifted shooting touch that few players will ever have but Ashlyn is very coordinated and athletically gifted. She's stronger defensively than many high schoolers ( as is KK by the way ) and that is a big part of her appeal. Even as a Freshman she was performing better on basketball handle drills ( in my uneducated impression ) than even Azzi. She's had professional level coaching and her entire family has helped her on this journey. She's been essentially "in training" for many years now to be the best she can be and its' beyond normal conditioning and practice. I found it surprising that there is not a lot of video of her playing considering her stature as a major prospect but what is out there appears to be mainly organic rather than parental hyping. That's refreshing! She's not turnover prone and from all indications is a very nice kid. The thing I find most appealing about all the Uconn recruits it seems is that they are nice kids. Kids you would want to root for. I'm looking forward to seeing her play at Uconn! [/QUOTE]
