Ugh!

 

[Kevin G]

I hope she has a speedy and full recovery!

 

[speedoo]

2 to 3 weeks... That's a relief. Must be a minor fracture. Get well, DD!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Crap, heal fast and thoroughly, Diamond.

 

[speedoo]

And thanks, pap for finding and posting this info. This board would be so much less informative without your input!

Shooting hand? Or off-hand?

 

[Icebear]

Gosh, I hope the hand didn't fall off.

 

[EricLA]

2-3 weeks seems like a really short period of time for a broken bone. hope she gets well soon!

 

[ThisJustIn]

Gosh, I hope the hand didn't fall off.

Well... maybe she could play pick up ball?

 

[Ctpaul0825]

Best wishes Diamond.

Gosh, I hope the hand didn't fall off.

That's hands down the most inappropriate response to an injury.

Eric 2-3 weeks struck me as a short amount of time also. Any more specific inf that anyone can come up with,certainly will be appreciated by all of us. Glad Geno was able to check in with her,before this,as well as getting to see Taya this past week. For what it is worth,John A. continues to believe that DD will end up choosing us. I keep trying to figure out how Taya and DD see themselves fitting in with Bre and Morgan coming in the year before.
Thanks pap for inf!

I think what Geno's done a good job of demonstrating is that he's dedicated to getting his best players on the court and worrying about positions afterwards. It's a quality that I believe serves him well when recruits have these types of questions.

Well, I'll hand that to you, Lefty.

 

[Olde Coach]

Well, I'll hand that to you, Lefty.

I am still trying to find out if it is her shooting hand or her off-hand.

Anybody know?

 

[MarieM]

i heard she was going to the Duke/Uconn game... hopefully she doesn't do what Breanna Stewart did commit to the home team.. Lol

Agree. One example was the recruiting class which included Tamika Williams-Raymond, Swin Cash, and Ashja Jones. They had enough similar skills that as freshmen one might question how they were going to play together. Obviously quite well on teams that won two national championships.

 

[Icebear]

Maybe some enterprising member of The Horde can find out which hand OC. I can not find anything on line using several search possibilities.

Thank God for small favors. She's a righty.

Sometimes things happen for a reason and maybe, someone is watching out for her and saying that you need a break in the action. Today, these Elite players play 12 months a year and they break down like Caroline Doty or Shea ralph.......Maybe a month or 6 weeks will allow her body to heal and again feel good again....DD, I wish you a speedy recovery

 

[MarieM]

"TASSK force" has been Uconns Best recruiting class.. no debate

JS, I'd say you handed Da Bear the proper rebuke.

While we're on the topic, where does an injury like this stand with regard to seriousness in the spectrum of injuries for basketball players, relative to other common basketball injuries?
