RECRUITINGExcerpt from A&M Athletics Press Release
March 24, 2022Q Aside from what you look for in your players in building a team
what do you look for them on the court, the Xs and Os? What are some characteristics of a team you want to build around?
A Head Coach Joni Taylor stated "We love hybrid players.
Like,
positionless basketball is what we love.
Whatever is in your wheelhouse, we're going to let you do.
So positionless basketball,
we love to move players around, pieces around.
So we look for players who can do multiple things.
We want to be able -- everybody 1 through 4 that can rebound and go,
let's push the basketball, push the pace.
Those are things that we look for.
And outside of that is what other intangibles do they bring, right?
Their effort, their attitude, their camaraderie with their teammates. We spend a lot of time watching how they interact with their teammates because that's all a part of it.
We want hybrid players who can do multiple things.
Obviously, scoring the basketball is important. But also defending at a high level is important because that's going to be the cornerstone of who we are."
