Message: [QUOTE="EdSaid, post: 3772798, member: 10651"] I don't understand why someone would rip Anna. She does little things all over the floor: steals, rebounds, assists, blocks, solid defense. Many times she makes a great pass, which leads to the pass that gets the assist. Whoever said she is a starter on the # 3 team in the country made a great point to support her. As far as the AE vs ONO debate. I think AE will start very soon, as soon as she knows the system better. I don't see Geno playing them together right now. They played together for 1-2 minutes at the end of the first quarter against Lowell, and I think they were together against Seton Hall twice for maybe three minutes. Someone said ONO bounces off opposing players, and opposing players bounce off of AE. Very true, great point. AE has an instant presence on the floor that can not be taught. It reminded me of a story from Nikita Khrushchev. (I am a history buff, not a communist.) In a motivational speech to soldiers in WWII Krruhschev told his soldiers when they are leading with their bayonet at night and they feel something soft you will rip through it. When you poke into something strong and solid your immediate reaction is to pull back and respect. He wanted his soldiers to be strong and solid. [/QUOTE]
