Please forgive me. I am old and still remember Robert Parish and Kevin McHale. One mobile big and one traditional post.

Oh... I agree! But last year, whenever the double BIG or Clingan and Sonogo was suggested it was considered a bad idea by many here at the yard

Very bad news. Goodbye any chance for #6. He probably had significant ligament damage, but not enough for immediate surgery.

We've seen this story before. Castle will try to come back in January or February and won't be anywhere near the player he was. Then, they'll just shut him down the rest of the year.

There are glass half full people and glass half empty people. You are a glass is completely empty person. Hope you don’t act like this in real life.

No, probably not. If you give permission for someone to do anything with your medical information (by signing a waiver form for example-something we’ve probably all done as part of medical care across different caregivers-whether we realized what we were signing or not lol) then it’s no longer a HIPAA violation.

Actually, HIPAA doesn’t apply to college coaches. People assume HIPAA applies to everyone. In reality, it only applies to covered entities — like medical professionals and health plans.

Thanks for putting this thought into a single sentence. I agree.

I'd like UConn to make every basket, successfully defend against every shot, and win every game.

I'd like to win every recruiting battle.

I'd like there to be no injuries or off-court misbehaviors that could compromise performance or cause embarrassment.

I'd like to be informed so that I don't feel like a fool for not knowing things that arise without specific expectation.

I stay away from trying to be the first to know, or predicting things first, or making wild claims or speculating too heavily, so as not to be foolish when more is known.

I'd bet heavily against my second, third and fourth paragraphs are coming true. The rest is just trying to avoid feeling foolish from two different directions.

Some-to-many people see & feel things differently from me, and I'm unlikely to change their thoughts or feelings or perspectives or behaviors. I have no wish to be more like them. I have negative & positive thoughts and opinions about many posts. Water is wet.

The team plays one game at a game.

Tomorrow's opponent is Indiana. You can already surmise that I'd prefer Stephon Castle would be healthy, playing, playing well, and contributing to a smashing victory.

I don't bet on team performance and outcomes. I wish the coaches and players to be well-prepared to make the most of all available resources.

Go Huskies!

Depending on how medical transactions are conducted, they may be subject to HIPAA privacy rules. In any event, they are covered by FERPA, which applies to student medical records.

I was thinking about this when he posted. Does a college athlete's medical records fall under FERPA? What if he got the surgery done on his own dime?

I always assumed it coveted high school sports, but never actually verified. No one really ever asked me, thought when someone would ask about a kid with a hurt knee, I would usually resort to "horrific bear attack, but he's okay"

High school players are not adults being paid to play.

If it is a knee injury the only minor procedure I know of is related to meniscus. It used to be they removed very small tears and the recovery was just a few weeks. I had my first meniscus surgery 40 years ago when arthroscopic surgery was just starting. They removed a small piece that was torn and I was running in two weeks and playing basketball at about four weeks. Now they have learned better to repair than remove for long term health of the joint. When they repair meniscus with sutures recovery is more like 8 weeks and could be longer. Some of you have to have noticed this over the past 10 or 15 years athletes returning from meniscus/cartilage injuries has gotten longer than it was in the 80’s and 90’s. I am not speculating on what happened to SC or even his injury. I have just had a lot of knee surgeries in my life (6) including an ACL repair so I have picked up a ton of information. Someone asked about a minor procedure on the knee. There are a few things I think they can do with a PCL strain that speeds up recovery but I don’t know much about that process. My guess if he had a procedure we won’t see him again until the new year.

Yes, that was the decision that Dyson made to get the menus Ak repair and forfeit the capability to return

FERPA applies to educational records

Only in some instances, not all. They have to be part of the educational record or the school's health clinic.

Look we aren't entitled to the information, especially when it's about a kid who's expected to be a lottery pick. The wrong statement can actually have an impact on the kids career.

That being said, Hurley is still really bad with how he communicates injuries to the fanbase. The player almost always has a more serious issue than what he says and they rarely come back during the given timeline. It's frustrating. It's not the end of the world and fans have to deal with being frustrated sometimes but he could do a better job.
Expand ...
As a fan, I much prefer Hurley's vagueness and head fakes regarding injuries. Why on earth would you want your opponents to have accurate and detailed information??!! This isn't a CYO league; this is big time college athletics. It worked well for Bill Belichick for decades, so let's do the same. And I totally respect the player's and family's wishes for privacy.

UConn will not beat with or without Castle. They miss Jackson and the energy he could bring! It will take time to see if the intangibles Jackson brought to the team can be replicated!

This is dumb considering what KU lost. Hunter is a very good player, but Clingan will present problems for him. Karaban and KJ are almost opposites, a high skill player against a low skill max athlete. Harris and Newton is two good senior PGs. Cam is better than Elmarko at this point. McCullar is better than whoever backs up Castle, but KU lacks depth. Neither team has a clear advantage.

Most college athletes are not being paid. The NCAA is much more than P5 football and basketball.

They also aren't being paid by the school.

How is it you manage to consistently say the foolish thing?

We have some real characters on this board but I would think every teams message boards has them
