Now living in southern California, Andrea Aquino, one of four Class of 2018 verbal commits for the Beavs, looks every bit of 6'9" in the Twitter photo posted earlier this month with 6'4" Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks. Would love to see more video of how she continues to progress with her basketball training if anyone out there can locate any. Aquino continues to be ranked #6 overall (#2 Post) in the ESPNW Class of 2018 girls basketball ratings.

The link below shows a popular photo of Aquino posing with 6'8" Brittney Griner of the Phoenix Mercury.

When asked about her photo with Griner she commented that she thought she might be a little taller than the all star. When Griner was told about what AA said, her comment was that AA was definitely taller. And that was a couple years ago.

I am also curious about how the move has been for her.

A year of high calorie, protein rich diet might be as important to her college success as anything else.....
Whatever - - - there should be more than interesting info coming out of Socal this winter on AA and Patricia Miller.....

Observation: AA's high tanking with ESPN is possibly due to the fact that they simply have not re-evaluated since last April...
I have seen nothing from this summer's coverage to indicate that AA is dominating anything anywhere.....

Personally, I'm inclined to think she is not at full strength. I have no solid evidence for this.
But if you're among the best post players in the nation why no ripples during the summer months?? How come no "look at this" from a media begging for an interesting summer story?

Hopefully, she is resting and building.
Otherwise, there is a story to be told......

Over and out.......

I think you mean Patricia Morris.

AA did have a move across the country to deal with this summer. But I agree it would be nice to hear something.
