So this raises a question how could Andrea be cleared to play all the sudden? A heart condition just doesn’t go away? This seems very fishy? Who paid who to keep Andrea off the floor for 5 years? Geez! No conspiracy, we live in the worst litigation country in the world. When I was young there were a couple families from Australia moved to town. The kids couldn't believe there were basically no skate parks in the country when Australia had them in every town. The town's were so afraid of being sued they wouldn't allow them to be built.

The loss of her playing time was apart of our demise. This is disturbing. Her playing was Rueck dream of going to new heights! This is hard to overlook. 'apart' or 'a part'? YOU GET THE POINT DONT YOU….. cough

Yeah, and I'm not sure how it's "disturbing" either. Bottom line is I'm HAPPY to see her playing and wishing her nothing but the best.

You don’t bleed orange you bleed some other color Rueck got an incredible player who supposedly couldn’t play due to a dangerous health condition. Due you not get the contradiction? This screwed Rueck royally!

This screwed Rueck royally! Time will tell whether she's "incredible". But it does look like she would have been a contributor if she'd been medically cleared to play. She was certainly free to transfer out at any time to any other school she saw as a better opportunity. She's played one game post-OSU. I'm not going to second-guess the decisions of Andrea, Rueck or the doctors. They knew the specifics of her situation, you and I don't and never will. If you're not happy to see her playing in Australia then that kinda speaks for itself. My advice, view it as a positive development for Andrea because that's exactly what it is.

I can do that but how does Rueck see this? He was trying to succeed in his program. Heart problems killed Earnest Killum! I find this hard to believe that she was told not to play for her hole college career at OSU damnit . IF SOMEHOW she is cleared now. That doesn’t make sense!!!!!!! Do you realize we live in a world that Plays politics? This smells of that! You cannot just all the sudden change your mind on a serious heart condition now that she is done with college. BS!

One of the assistants told me she was the best player on the team. You really think it was some conspiracy to keep her off the court? They could not get her cleared.

For context, this isn’t the top-tier Australian women’s professional basketball league, the WNBL. That’s the league that both Sydney and Ruth played in. This is the semi-pro second-tier NBL-1 league. There are 72 teams in this league as opposed to 8 in the WNBL. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBL1

While the NBL-1 is not a top league, there are still a number of top players sprinkeled though out the teams. I watched some games last season and there was a player off the previous seasons Sparks roster playing. Also Ruth Hamblin played as well. When this leagues season ends, the WNBL begins so many players use this league to keep in basketball shape. There are a variety of different skill set players playing, but it is a good starting point for someone like Aquino. More than likely when this season is over she will get picked up by a higher league professional team either in Australia of some other country.

I wish nothing but the best for Andrea in her first season of competitive basketball in 5+ years. But first and foremost, I wish her good health as she pursues her professional basketball dreams.
