- We take a deep dive on Aaliyah Edwards who is the perfect UConn player as she is a pro but will she go pro after the 2023-24 season? We take a deep dive.
Edwards is pro-ready whenever she decides to leave.
I gave the video a thumbs up even before I listened to a word of it because the question was so intriguing! Before I turn it on I would like to say, EVERYTHING is uncertain as of this moment: Aaliyah, Paige, Azzi, Audrey and a cast of others will determine which direction UCONN will be headed to. I'm not going to guess what will happen BUT, in my mind if UCONN can pick up a 'sweeper' of sorts under the basket and with the further development of KK and Shade and the above mentioned players decide to come back, "Oh, my goodness! A team for the ages!!!!!"
Or the basketball gods has done that for them already. UConn has become UConn Medical Hospital where as before they were the basketball WBB championship factory.
I think Edwards will do great. She cooked SC last year with 25 points, with Saxton and Cardoso guarding her
Or they let her for the rebounds because they were cold shooting and the fouls called by home cooking referees.
@@kenichitamagusuku3194 orrr AE is a good player. Refs wise, both teams gotten away with fouls. SC failed to guard AE on pick and roll situations
Whatever Ms Edwards chooses to do UCONN Nation will always be there 🧡 🏀
Another great video, I agree with every word said. If it wasn't an Olympic year, I think she'd go for sure. As it is, probably an even money proposition. The nice thing for Aaliyah is that she can take her time and make a considered decision. Whatever she decides will be in her long-term best interests. I don't think she's going to make the wrong choice as I believe Megan Walker did when she left after her junior season.
I'm a UCONN fan who has loved Aaliyah right from the start. It would be wonderful if she stayed one more year. I think many fans feel the same way about her. We love her for soooo many reasons!
✊🏾 Edwards and her game! 👏🏾 from a Gamecocks WBB fan 😀
New video idea: a hypothetical transfer portal video where we imagine what would happen or who would be likely to go to new teams 💯💯
How refreshing it is to listen to comments in this group without those two clowns running another group continually bringing up kudo's for one person and ignoring all others making comments.
Peace.......
Paige is staying one more year...maybe her covid year also. She's probably the highest paid women NIL player in college ball. Or atleast near the top. She's going to give up over $ 1 million a year ? I don't think so.
Being Canadian she can’t fully participate in NIL I think she’ll leave this year.
Edwards should stay at Uconn. They will have a great team next year. It will be a very deep team and will have Azzi, Jana and Aubrey back. Patterson will be back. Good looking freshmen coming in and current freshmen will be even better next year. Paige seems to be staying also. Aaleya can experience a title run next year. They will have more size to go with the great group of guards. Uconn plays against great competition. She would play in front of huge crowds. It would be her last year to experience that. Uconn fans are very supportive.
they will have zero chance to won a ring,why waste her time on uconn🤮
Awesome!!
I'm a UCONN fan but I don't see us winning today at all. Hopefully it's not a blow out. However, I don't see Edwards returning next season as UCONN needs to add a productive big from the portal next season instead of relying totally on a recovering Jana El Alfy plus Edwards needs get to get her pro career started.. In addition, there are just too many UCONN players returning next season for their COVID year of eligibility (eg Muhl). Btw no matter how nice a person Amari DeBerry is she should be forced to transfer next year as she is just a joke coming off the bench. Her reluctance to utilize her height and "physicality" in the paint is enough to gently ask to leave or withdraw her scholarship.
No NIL in Canada!?!?
TAX IMPLICATIONS for all foreignors. It will affect their visa status.
Aaliyahhhh 🎉🎉
That the foreign players can't get an NIL is disgusting! The NIL is a devisive element now in college basketball! Uconn should pay all of the basketball players a hefty work study salary instead of corporate American coming in. Who wants to play on a team of 5 when 2 of your team mates depend upon YOU to help keep them rich because they have NIL contracts? It's disgusting!
Paige Buekers reportedly makes $652,000 in NIL money.
She should go pro. I don't want to see her playing against Xavier in 2025. That's beneath her dignity. That's for Paige too. This won't be a title contending team next season. They have already perfected this level of competition. They don't need to be beating up on overmatched 18 year olds in the big east next year.
You mentioned the Olympics here. Canada could get knocked out today if they lose to Japan. I mentioned it in another message. It is stunning that Aaliyah is not with Canada right now. And I think that she will feel a lot of regret if they get knocked out.
As far as her pro prospects are concerned. She sure gets blocked a lot at the college level. I wish she was a couple of inches taller. It seems as though she is projected to be a top 5 pick regardless.
The one thing you didn't mention is that UConn develops players with pro-ready skills. Other programs like LSU and SC will win championships, but are not concerned about them being pro-ready. I think Mulkey even said she doesn't care about the WNBA. There is a reason that UConn is the college most represented in the WNBA.
where is ododa🤣
@@lecowardjames The same place she was in college. Standing like a statue with arms raised letting people score easily. When Dorka came to UConn, Geno should have started her and had ONO coming off the bench. I watched a W game with ONO last year and immediately saw this passive statue with arms raised. Sure looks like...yep, it's ONO. Which is what her team must say when her opponent gets the ball on offense. Oh-NO!
Stay IMO
She will go. As a Canadian she can’t earn NIL, so there’s no benefit for her to stay. Same with Nika Muhl
Is this true? Haven’t heard this rule and am very confused about this
@@anbro2623Jesus is the way truth and life
@@anbro2623 - Yes, correct. Foreign players are extremely limited (if they can benefit at all) in what they can receive from NIL. I'm also wondering if that will impact whether or not Georgia Amoore (VA Tech- she's from Australia) decides to stay or go.
@@anbro2623 Tax implications, it will affect her visa status. Hope she goes.
Spain comes from 20 down and beats Hungary. I believe Canada qualifies as a result. And Aaliyah Edwards will likely be relieved.Spain comes from 20 down and beats Hungary. I believe Canada qualifies as a result. And Aaliyah Edwards will likely be relieved.
It happened. Canada lost and are now in danger of not qualifying for the olympics. They need Spain to beat Hungary; and Dorka Juhasz ironically enough.
If I were her I’d go to the draft. UConn isn’t winning a ship in the next few years in my opinion
If Sarah Strong comes to UCONN then what? Isn't that still possible?
I can see Sarah Strong going to NC State.
I don't see what y'all are talking about bout pro did y'all not watch S.C. lady gamecocks destroy them lol pro, ucon . ???????? Go gamecocks she'll be lucky to get drafted after that .Geno disrespect dawn Staley by not mentioning S.C. LIKE SHE THANKED UCON FOR PLAYING US. That's COOL WILL KEEP BEATING Y'ALL REALLY Stop WITH THE PRO STUFF LEAVE THAT TO US 😂😂😂
Take the damned NIL out of college basketball and college sports. That's just plain corrupting the whole concept of college basketball because once a player receives NIL money then they are PROS and not just college basketball players.
P.S. South Carolina has 2 National Championships, UCONN has 11! So, we'll see.
Can you do one, just one dam video without mentioning Angel Reese and worrying about what she is doing and comparing everybody to her. You get on your show and constantly complain that the girl is absolute garbage can't do this and can't do that of a player but you keep comparing these mega watt super star players who do not have the accomplishments she has trying to minimize her body of work. Why do you feel the need to do that its annoying. I get on here to hear about Edwards and have to hear about how sorry a player Angel Reese is and dare mentioning Reese in the same sentence. Compare Edwards to the other forwards of her caliber and be kind enough to keep Angel Reese name out your mouth. You so sure Angel Reese is garbage why would even mention Reese and the WNBA in the same sentence throw her name and her game out with the trash...Do you stand around worrying about where your garbage went and what it's doing after you throw it out use the same energy here. The WNBA scouts are going to decide their forward picks by comparing the top forwards in the draft not by what Angel Reese can or cannot do. 🤔
Reese is trash tho 😂
No
People are ready to make Reese the poster child for talented athletes with bad decision making
Aaliyah Edwards is not a ROCK STAR, she plays basketball for the UConn Huskies and Aliyah Boston impersonator. When and last time she gave a concert, next one will be the first time.
it says "Uconn's rock star". But yes. Even that is a bit far fetched. She seems unlikely to make the wall. It would take a massive performance in a winning effort today for her to have a shot at first or second team all american.
