Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4466921, member: 9844"] Mir might be among the best players that got away, but the handwriting was on the wall. In essence she was the third string PF behind Aaliyah and a bigger and pretty similar player in Aubrey. I suspect when she was recruited Geno may have hoped that her perimeter skills would advance, and she could be more of a wing, but that didn't happen. She is what she is, an amazing rebounder for her size and a true 5-11 PF. She is best around the basket despite her size, but that meant she was behind two exceptional players. She was way too talented to be third string for anybody. Players at her level might accept a bench role on a great team, but mop up minutes was not realistic, so I think her departure was easy to comprehend. [/QUOTE]
