2 big questions of the OSU off season.

She’s never really done much outside of that offensively, and her rebounding uptick was when she was the tallest player on the floor for the Beavs when we played Maddie Washington at center. "

Have to say that I agree with you on this.
Taya is a solid player, executes her role very well. She passes and outlets very well. But, except for her squared-up 3s, she has very few offensive skills. She has never learned to dribble penetrate to the basket; she virtually never posts up a smaller player. When she nails her 3s she is a great help to the Beaver offence, but without the 3, her point production is very, very low....

Taya is, in some ways, a coaches dilemma. She does so many things right you don't want to take her out, but she produces so few points you want to insert someone with point-power.
In a nut shell, Taya's game is best when someone else scores. When someone else doesn't score the team collectively suffers because Taya is not adding to the point production.

I like Taya's game. She distributes, she rebounds when she has to and she makes few turnovers. She works hard and is a team-first player. Her limitation is that she cannot produce points.
If you have a team that is scoring challenged she becomes something of a problem. If you have a team that scores well, she's a premiere addition.

Personally, I don't know what Coach is going to do with her next year.
GO BEAVS!!
