Happened on the last quarter of UCLA v ASU this eve. Osborne has 27 pts. UCLA won by 3. One other Bruin has 11, I think. I love Jump's threes, but is it really true that we took Jump over Osborne?

Yes, the rest of UCLA looked quite mediocre against ASU, but Osborne is going to be a superstar and we shall face her in future years without Williams and Wilson to guard her.  

As for turning her down--Bobb might know if we actually did, but it could have been a lot of things--admissions, her own preference, etc.  ESPN had her as #22 and Jump as #50.  Today, she looks better than #22.  We did defend her well in our first game, giving her only 7 points.  Something fell apart in the second, giving her 24.  Or maybe she is just getting better.  Tonight she had 27 including 13 in the 4th when they needed them most.  ASU had come back from down 18 to take the lead in the 3rd quarter.  She rescued her team from a loss.
