Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3411592, member: 5798"] I was one of those fans that was disappointed that Horston (and Aaliyah Boston) chose not to come to Storrs. We’ve lost out on several high profile recruits recently. I believe that things happen for a reason. Sometimes the things we want are not necessarily good for us, or be in our best interest to have in the long run. It appears UConn has bottomed out, and is now on an up swing in recruiting. I’m going on record right now stating unequivocally that I am a huge Aubrey Griffin fan and supporter. I’m elated to have Aubrey on our team. Until she learns the system and becomes fully functional, there are still things she can do to help the team win as she did Thursday. Remember what Geno said about her recently: “this is the worse you’ll ever see her play while she’s here.” She’s a playmaker. She was in the game less than a minute when she stole a pass and scored. Instant energy. The rest of the players on the floor fed off of that play. Geno wants to get her ready for tournament play. He’s got about 5 weeks to do so. I expect to see her play at least 20-25 minutes a game the rest of the season. You can’t grow and develop on the bench. She’ll get help from everyone, coaches and teammates. Who knows, the light may come on for her by the end of the season. Let’s hope so. In the meantime, she sure is fun to watch. [/QUOTE]
