Azzi putting in work

I think this video is from last summer but I do know Azzi was in this gym this summer as well.

 

[oldude]

I believe she grazed the rim on 2 of her shots. Obviously, Azzi needs more work…

 

[MilfordHusky]

Unless she wears the same shorts every time she goes to NYC, I think that video is from 2 years ago. But I still love to see it.

We have an Azzi sighting credibility gap!

 

[JellyBean]

I don't care if it was 2 years ago, 2 months, ago, 2 weeks ago. It is always nice to see Azzi getting up shots. If Azzi reads the Boneyard, I hope she knows that we are cheering her on and wishing all the best for her.

Does anyone understand how difficult it is to make 173 shots in a row from the outside. It is ridiculous what Azzi and Paige are capable of doing from the outside.

 

[MooseJaw]

Making shots is great. I want to see her run the court, make quick moves, cuts and defensive stops. We all want a healthy Azzi, for her, for the team and the fan base. Good luck Azzi, we want you back.

There's video somewhere of Geno in a past season talking to the team prior to the start of practice and it was simply that who got minutes would be decided in practice in September & October. Everyone starts equal. As long as it fair I don't think there will be a chemistry issue. There may be disappointment but Geno picks his players carefully.

The best play this coming season may happen in the UConn scrimmages.

Here's a ray of optimism. Azzi has had 2 ACL tears. Olympic Gold Medalist Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade had 3 ACL tears. She does not appear to be hindered in the least.

Short but encouraging.

Jumping and landing! Good to see from miss fudd! Based on this I assume the last step in recovery is full contact clearance!

The last step is playing on it with abandon. That takes a few games.

I’m thinking the same.

 

[Alydar]

The last step is climbing a 10 foot ladder.

 

[oldhusky]

Short but encouraging.

If this is current it raises the odds of Azzi being ready by opening day IMO, although I know there are far more steps to get there.

 

[Cuango]

Praying for a healthy year for Azzi & Paige to finally be able to play together for an entire season! That’s going to be a special treat for UConn fans! Knock on wood!!!

 

[ashfan]

Since no one knows when or whether Azzi might have yet another knee problem, the only safe plan is to let her come back gradually. Geno has Ash and others to occupy her spot when she's on the bench. The team loses nothing when Ash12 replaces Azzi or anyone else, except Paige. . . . I'm dubious whether the Brazilian gymnast's recovery from three ACLs is comparable to Azzi's situation.

With a pair of scissors!

Yup. When she starts banging knee on knee, much will become clear. It only takes one bad bang. I remember cringing when Paige first returned and ran into traffic. I held my breath until I'm now permanently blue in the face.

More will be clear when she is aggressively running the court, cutting, and doing jump stops. Most female ACL injuries are non-contact.

Great to see her shooting, but I didn't understand this line:

"@azzi_35 shattered multiple shooting records over the last week and a half."

What records did she shatter over the last week and a half? The video was posted August 24, so obviously no games of any kind... what records is the poster referring to?

It’s bizarre. I assumed he meant she broke her personal best, or some such thing.

Yeah. I imagine as a trainer he probably keeps records of shooting drills especially for elite athletes. I'm thinking she broke those records.
