Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4203980, member: 7171"] I agree that UConn should be looking in the portal for a 2/3 with one year of eligibility left. Getting someone will be tricky because it will clearly be a backup role (assuming UConn can stay healthy). If Aubrey is healthy, she may be the best option. If Geno can convince someone else with ball handling and shooting skills to come for a year and accept a reserve role, so much the better. We forget how valuable Aubrey can be. She was the best player on the court when UConn beat Tennessee in early 2020. Earlier that season, there was the Oklahoma game at Mohegan Sun when she scored 14 points in 14 minutes and I remember thinking that she was simply playing at a faster speed than anyone else. UConn can be (and has been) a great pressing team with her on the court. She excels when the game is being played in the open court. I can live with her not being a great outside shooter. There will likely be at least two players on the floor when she is out there that should be taking those shots anyhow. She can hit the boards and create some offense there. The bigger concern I have in the half court set up is that the offense would bog down with her on the court. She seemed confused about where to go and as a result often stayed put. Trying to think it through. My hope would be that in addition to making a full or close to full recovery, that during her time away she devotes some mental energy towards how the offense in the half court is supposed to work.
