Aubrey Griffin, part trois

[HuskyNan]

This kid is going to absolutely terrorize UConn opponents in a year or two. Her aggressiveness is innate and very Diana-like in intensity. Just wait until she gets up to speed on the offensive schemes and gets her considerable physical gifts under control. Holy cow.

A star is born!

Don't forget the 3pt shot she made.

 

[Rixxx]

She reminds me of Rae Burrell at TN. Athletic, rebounds, and at times a little too quick. Sixth man off the bench for spark.

Someone said ND doesn’t have an answer for ONO.... They don’t have an answer for Griff

Aubrey!!!!

Man, she is long - a lot of times I thought she was ONO out there. If she’s really starting to get it, look out!

 

[Bronxjeff]

It's the Audrey Griffin show...
And what a show it was!!!!

 

[Husky fanatic]

In a home crowd type situation close to home she really excelled. Can't wait to see her perform like this consistently.

 

[eebmg]

She came into this game shooting less than 50% from the FT line and then goes 10-12. That says it all for me. She is settling in.

 

[Kaizen]

I have more confidence in UConn now.

The announcers made a good point saying that Walker had the quietest 29 points they ever saw. I think that Walker's expression while she plays is as cold and unemotional as an assassin.

Without Walker, this is a ten loss team.

 

[bantamlaker]

That would be me! haha .. she has so-ooo many ways to put up points .. the ultimate 'garbage man' .. eh? .. a scoring machine... AND she plays DEFENSE!

Okay, let’s give credit where credit is due. Jingo has been telling us all along that this kid Griffin from Ossining could really play and she certainly proved it tonight.

A double double including 6 offensive rebounds! The kid has earned a start in the next game.

Eh?

Big confidence shot for a couple young ones tonight. Maybe for two seniors too.

She sure is long! Going to the rack she is like a Spider Woman!

Visually, when I was watching the rebounding, I honestly had to wait to check the number to determine whether it was 44 or 20 who was skying for the rebound. In this game, because of ONO's foul trouble, it was usually 44.

I agree with the Gabby Williams comparison -- it is becoming closer each game. She can rebound sucessfully against players who are 4 or 5 inches taller than she is, just as Gabby could. I think that from now on, it will be she rather than Kyla (or Evelyn) who gets the call when Olivia gets in foul trouble.

I think she will still be coming off the bench for a while, since both Kyla and Anna know the offense better than she does. (Remember that Gabby was 7th or 8th, behind Kiah Stokes and usually Saniya Chong, when she was a freshman, despite the fact that her athletic gifts were apparent.) However, I would expect that Aubrey will now play 20-25 minutes per game, and should probably average about 10 points and 6 or 7 rebounds in that time, plus a few blocks.

A year or two? 25 points and 12 rebounds tonight may be the start of her reign of terror.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Aubrey elevates very well. She was picking rebounds off the rim.

I saw her take over a high school game last year. This game didn't include as many jumpers, but the steal, block, offensive rebounds, layups, and free throws were the same.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

My favorite moment, among many, for Griffin was her taking, nd making, a third three pointer after missing her first two. She will be a beast, eventually... and I'm going to pat myself on the back for being the first to post about her interest in UConn way back before she committed.

Since dinner is in the oven as I write this, I am having trouble digesting your image (as bolded above -- I prefer not to quote it more directly ...).

She might terrorize them this year!

Oops!!! Or maybe that's poops.

 

[huskeynut]

Aubrey is the real deal. Athletic almost beyond belief.

Would love to know what her vertical leap is. She is going to terrorize a lot of teams like she did tonight to the Hall.

 

[HuskyNan]

I love Aubrey’s upside but she is still a freshman, learning the game and how to play with her new teammates. She’ll have great games and bad games this year and she may hit the freshman wall in January but her potential is sky-high. Let Aubrey get a year or two under her belt before piling on the expectations

I think that's the key. She has the physical capabilities to reach a very high level. Gotta give her time to get there.
