Over the last year, Aaliyah Edwards has gotten an elite basketball education. First, she arrived for her freshman season at UConn under the tutelage of Geno Auriemma — the most successful college basketball coach ever — and his staff.
After the Huskies’ campaign came to an end, Edwards spent most of the summer with the Canadian national team and went to the Tokyo Olympics, where she played with and against some of the best basketball players in the world.
The Olympics were a particularly invaluable experience for Edwards, who got to watch how professional basketball players operate despite being only one year into her collegiate career.
