Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 3749952, member: 5089"] [I]Canadian women's national team head coach Lisa Thomaidis had similar praise for Aaliyah. "I think the biggest thing with her is she competes, you know, she really competes hard. She's got a great motor." .... Already, the coach envisions Edwards playing a versatile role. At 6-foot-3, she has the skillset to become the positionless player that's become en vogue in recent years — someone who can play inside out on offence and guard virtually every position on defence. On the court, rebounding, ball handling and shooting range are traits Thomaidis and Auriemma agreed are strengths of Edwards. Off the court, it's that professional mindset.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbc.ca/sports/basketball/ncaa-uconn-aaliyah-edwards-profile-1.5815114[/URL] * [I]McLean said she’s learning and hearing a lot from Auriemma during her first year. She’s getting used to playing on the perimeter at the college level, from adjusting to her team’s plays to knowing every spot. “He’s very wise. He’s really intelligent, and we do want to push hard,” McLean said of Auriemma. “He kind of has a way of explaining it to you before raising his voice.” She said her goals as a freshman at UConn include working on setting good screens as well as being vocal and a tough defender. McLean sees herself coming off the bench, so that will take some pressure off once the season gets going.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://pressboxonline.com/2020/11/27/roland-park-grad-mir-mclean-faces-new-challenges-with-uconn-womens-basketball/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
