Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 3137439, member: 366"] I defer to Oldude, who has seen Aubrey more than I have, but I liked what I saw in a loss to a really good, quick, and aggressive team from Baltimore at a December tourney at Paul VI in Virginia in December. It was just before the ankle injury. Aubrey had about 38 points and double-digit rebounds. She's very athletic and smooth. She helped Ossining in Q3 go from about 6 down to about 6 up. In that stretch, Aubrey showed her potential, with a three-pointer, several layups, blocks, assists, and steals. It reminded me of high school videos of Maya. She absolutely took the game over for about 6 minutes. Of course, Geno would want that level of intensity for 40 minutes, not 6 minutes. I respectfully disagree with Oldude about Aubrey starting. Of course, that depends on other acquisitions, such as Westbrook and Makurat. If we add no one else in 2019, I think Aubrey is the best option as the 5th starter, better than Batouly, Kyla, or Molly (or Mikayla, who appears to be leaving). Perfect fit for UConn? I think that's close. She's a really sweet kid who is a dynamic player. She's not quite as athletic as Diamond, but close. Her genes, tenacity, and knowledge from her father will serve her well.
