I am speaking the truth about her skills. Let's take our p&g glasses off. She is not playing like the #6/#7 player in the country from last year. She is tall and big body, but just not aggressive around the rim, have not seen it all year, we watched every game. And she is not a scorer. When Kim puts her in, it's for rebounding, which takes away much needed scoring. Just like when Poa goes in, we take away scoring. No one on the bench is a scorer.
Yes, "she is just a freshman", but look at the other top ranked freshmen around the country who are playing lights out, Williams, Watkins, Hidalgo, etc. Since you mentioned Flaujae as a freshman, she played lights out last year and was SEC freshman of the year. She was ranked lower at #26, but played like the top freshman.
Flaujae and Aneesah describe Rosario at post-press conference as Big Teddy Bear/Big Baby and too nice, pleading for her to be flat out mean. Angel harps on her all the time about playing more aggressive. Even Kim said multiple times she wants her to play like a mack truck and not a Kia. Aneesah said that Rosario cries during practices. WTH? Who the heck cries during practices? I'm just not sold on her yet that she will be the aggressive, top scoring player we will need when Angel leaves. I really hope I am proven wrong. But I have a feeling Kim is going into the transfer portal to get a big, tall post player, Angel-type aggressive rebounder and top scorer in the spring. Let's see what happens.

She hasn't set the world on fire, but did fine in this game. She appeared to be physically strong to me. Didn't get pushed around by the SC monster. I think this game might be a catapult for better play from her.

One consideration on her is that she is practicing against 2 of the best rebounders in the country. That would affect the confidence of many freshman. I think she will be a good player for us. She, Williams, and Johnson are a good group to build around.
