Interestingly enough, all her 'athletic' parts are fully functional, just subject to conditioning and game speed. I would expect that if she is now 'cleared' that she has been demolition tested in practice and will play some significant minutes in the last 2 home games. She is a 'cerebral' player, a coach on the bench and now, hopefully, a coach on the floor and possibly a spark when team is in a lull.
I would doubt it. As with every player returning from injury, there are limitations and restrictions.
It would be wonderful if this were true, but strictly based on Geno's very limited enthusiasm when talking about her return I would doubt she will be counted upon at all down the stretch or at the big dance. However, I would love to be wrong. I would love to see her out there taking control in a game when we needed it most. I'm sure most of you just imagine how many more NC we could have had with her, Paige, Azzi and Aubrey at full strength?
The game that many used to view as ballet with a ball has become more like hockey. While I still enjoy the game it is obvious nothing like it was in the past.
The mop up crew term does not apply at UConn. They are either getting valuable actual playing time for the underclassmen to improve or getting back to live game experience for those rehabbing. Her time was uplifting for the team, fans and herself nothing mop up here.
I had the same thought but she looks great and even if she isn't 100% like "freshman Caroline", I am going to enjoy watching every second of her time on the court.
Sorry my comment went way over your head!!! Most people on here understood it and took as it was intended.
Getting ahead of your skies, a bit
She is wearing it so I think we can be pretty sure that it has NCAA approval or am I missing something????
Who are the Big 4 next season?
I don't know if you are missing something, that why I posed the question!!! It wouldn't be the first time an athlete wore something without getting NCAA approval. I agree, that you would think the coaching staff would have been on top of it, but if not I would hate to have games forfeited because of it. Anyway, it was just a concern of mine.
Of course! You are NOT "Just.A.Fan" Go 33!! Caroline vs DePaul, forever!!
Azzi Sarah Caroline Ash....maybe more then 4...KK Blanca
If this is true then there is no BIG in big.
I forgot Jana and Ice should be up to speed too .
Maybe Morgan, Allie, Q and Ayanna too?
Sorry, but I have watched a lot of BB games thru the years and I have yet to see anyone except Caroline wearing that head gear. We have had several discussions on the BY regarding possible head gear Caroline could wear and to my recall no one has suggested this one. Football players can wear helmets, but BB players cannot. So what soccer players can use has nothing to do with BB.
Does anybody have a news picture or a screen shot of what she was wearing that's caused a page of back-and-forth? I obviously did not watch the game unfortunately.
