Aubrey Griffin

[HuskyNan]

Me likey Aubrey It’s like Gabby Williams transplanted her game attitude into Aubrey.

I remember seeing Swin Cash as a high schooler in the WBCA All-Star game and she was a defensive terror. My husband turned to me and said, “I love her game. She’s going to be a good one”. Well, ditto Aubrey.

Aubrey played 18 mins, 6 rebs, 2 asts and 10 pts ... very impressive

Def has a nose for finding the ball...but the poster that said leading scorer...I think Meg will have a lot to say

Yes Aubrey can score in numerous ways .. IMHO today was the tip of the iceberg, eh?

It's great you saw the Aubrey we expected out of HS where she excelled in her Gabby-esque play including Gabby's defense. She's a keeper.

Scorers we got; Aubrey is one of those players that doesn’t need to score to have a big impact.

It better be just the tip if your "leading scorer" declaration is going to happen.

You've been ringing that bell since she finished HS as the NY top player.

We'll see .. nevertheless it will be FUN! .. I really look forward to this season!!!

 

[Husky fanatic]

Overall I thought she did quite well. Maybe forced a couple things but rebounded well and played defense the length of the court. She'll be a good one.

 

[Shorty Dee]

I liked what I saw from Aubrey. She reminds me of Gabby for sure. I am looking forward to watching her play more games.

 

[Kaizen]

Under Geno she will be a star. She does remind me of Gabby, even the hair style.

 

[bluedevil]

I will sell my magic beans to the poster who predicted AG as leading scorer

 

[JordyG]

Everything I saw from Aubrey today me likey. Much. What we didn't see was her outside shot. As @MilfordHusky has said, she's going to become a tough, lock down defender, and that could be right away.

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!

Aubrey might not be needed to score but she will get her fair share of points. She seems to have a nose for the ball.

Geno in his post game basically said she has a nose for the ball and goes after rebounds. A skill you cant teach. Then geno put it thus'

Right now, she is like a puppy dog. Go get the ball.

thinking about changing from gabbyfan to aubreyfan, but it will take a lot more highlights

Well of course Jingo is going to be wrong about Griffin being the leading scorer (which is a good thing), but that's a really nice game for her to come out of the gates with. If she could end up being our 5th leading scorer, that would be very impressive.

Points schmoints, I'm more interested in how many noses this talented young Husky has. I'll bet there's a strong correlation between # of noses and # of championships.

As I watched Aubrey tenaciously defend and rebound all over the court yesterday, a couple different thoughts occurred.

• I watched each of Aubrey’s last 4 games with Ossining HS, in which she scored 30+ and filled up the stat sheet in each game. She didn’t play a lot of defense in any of those games. Somewhere between those games and yesterday’s game Aubrey got the message that if you want to play for Geno, play defense and rebound.
• I can not help but speculate that Aubrey receives a lot of guidance from her father Adrian who is one of those wonderful stories of an overachiever who cobbled together a pro career as an undrafted free agent with stops in Europe & the G-League prior to a 9 year career in the NBA with numerous teams and now as an assistant coach with the world championship Toronto Raptors. Who better to teach Aubrey about hard work and the ability to adapt in order to succeed.
• In another thread I indicated my surprise that Aubrey accompanied Crystal & Megan in the post game presser. I can not remember another freshman who ever was allowed to come out to answer questions in a post game presser after her first game in a UConn uniform. That tells me that Geno felt strongly enough about her effort and performance to reward her with some well deserved PR.
• Assuming that Evina is still ineligible, I would not be surprised if Aubrey get’s the start in the next exhibition game over Anna. Either way, she’s earned a lot of PT.
• Finally, if Aubrey can earn a starting role with UConn she has the potential to be yet another NDPOY some day.

Wait till she 'nose' what she is doing.

Whoa! Is that a 4th nose? Are you predicting a 4th championship? Stewie, get ready to move over darlin'.
