Aaliyah update

[meyers7]

I remember in my high school state championship game, my coach Gene Hackman pulled out players and resumed the game with only 4.

I think I was at that game. But IIRC, it was just a regular season game.

 

[meyers7]

Ok but ND had to play 6 vs NC State so it could be worse. I'm confident Uconn will win solidly.

NC State only played 6. So....evens.

 

[Linart]

Actually I was surprised how good Aaliyah looked. My guess is in the next few days, they'll fit her with a mask.

True but the stress level on us poor fans goes up when there's a short bench. Have some sympathy for my ulcers!

Amari has been out quite a while for a person that doesn't have frequent concussion issues. Is she out or is there a chance she may be available today?

Amari living her best life. She good. I love how she is super supportive of the team and the whole program, through it all.

Maybe it was, but that's me next to Gene.

Didn't she save the old one?

The swelling and shape of the nose after it's reset probably makes the old mask unusable. So while it may look the same my experience from long ago is that a new mask is required. She can put the old one in a trophy case.

Didn't she save the old one?

I would think so but my thought is whomever made the mask for her probably has a mold still in storage since it was such a short time ago and would be able to make another mask quite easily using the mold and get it to her right away. Would be surprised if she doesn't already have a new one if she didn't keep the old one.

If UConn goes to Portland and Iowa is in Albany, you can sell your tickets for thousands.

she can sell it on eBay as a "game used" mask

How about this mask?

Okay, temporary swerve but just came across this video. Thought the board would enjoy it.

Looks like Geno may have spilled the beans again!

 

[Skeets]

If true it could be what Ms. Strong is/was waiting for. A clear path to a scholarship.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Does anyone think that, because Sarah doesn't want to play the post, she was more likely to come to UConn if Liya decided to stay?

 

[cancontent]

Ugh. Hopefully it was a lapse and not a cagey slip of the tongue. She had said a decision wasn't going to be made until after the tournament. She was entitled to that at least.

Does anyone think that Sarah could choose UConn and Geno wouldn't find a roster spot for her?

Or similar to his prior comments, he’s gently announcing to take the pressure off the players?

Where is the pressure exactly? She said she'd announce after the season. The matter is closed until then.

And of all people who can handle pressure, has she not shown a lot of composure in handling these types of situations? It doesn't come across as if he's helping here to me. It adds pressure now, if this is true, because this is the last chance this roster has at a title.

Who knows, she may have given him the go ahead? Same as happened with Aubrey.

 

[Blond D.]

Maybe Geno means only one has SAID she's coming back. Until Aaliyah actually says shes coming back he has to assume she's not.

 

[Linart]

By the way, Aaliyah said she's using her old mask. It still fits and all she had to do was dust it off.

 

[Bone Dog]

Swerve: in the last interview Aaliyah said she saved the old face mask. I know a lot of folks were wondering what became of that mask.

Jinx! You owe me a Diet Coke

Why does he make announcements that should be made by the student athlete?
