Ice Brady

I’m not sure what knee surgery Ice had but recovery can be extensive. Over my lifetime I’ve had six arthroscopic knee surgeries three on each knee. I have had multiple as I call them jelly shots also in each knee. Six years ago after collapsing at work because I couldn’t stand I had bilateral knee replacement. Yes both knees at once. Recovery for me took a long time. Ice is 22 years old. There is no way that she will be ready to play when the season starts again in November. So is this senior night a good bye for her. That is a decision that I’m sure she will make when it’s her time. She committed to UConn prior to her high school senior year. That is why I was always hoping for her to succeed at UConn. To me she has. Congratulations and get well.

Diana Taurasi was a senior in 2004 but didn't have enough credits to graduate. She had to finish a course or two in a later year when she was already playing in the WNBA. Perhaps there have been others. It's not something that usually gets publicity.



Yes, I'm not sure what UConn's academic requirement is for players who stay and play during a post-graduate year. I assume they have to take some minimum course load, but I don't know whether it has to be in a graduate school or whether they can just take some more undergraduate courses.

Juhasz got a masters degree when playing in her fifth academic year. Bueckers and Griffin didn't. I believe Fudd is enrolled in a masters degree program.

I suspect Geno's long recovery diagnosis pretty much goes with her probably not being available to play for anyone next season, unless for just the tail end of the season. If that is the scenario waiting till the 27/28 season may be the best option even if a very disappointing one. Both Ice and Ayanna have major decisions to make.

They probably came to Uconn as high level recruits expecting great things here and a likely professional career later. That could still happen, but now appears to be more longshot than realistic expectation. The same might be said for Carol. They all probably thought the what am I going to do after basketball, was a question they wouldn't face until they were in their 30's, but it could be in front of them now.

Ayanna of course is currently healthy and could return next year, but many things could affect her decision. Wishing them all good fortune in the future where ever that path takes them.

Hopefully not. Pro career not guaranteed for anyone. There’s injuries and then HS greats who don’t turn the corner in college. Or college greats who don’t make it in the pros .

Evina and CW were both #1 HS recruits. Both are barely cobbling together pro gigs abroad. (I think both are in Israel.)

Hopefully all have been planning from day 1 for life after basketball, whether that’s 23 or 33.,
 
I definitely think Yanna should stay, just to get one full year of uninjured play before she leaves. She deserves the chance to perform at the level she came in with, plus being able to cope with her problems with a great attitude is a reason to stay.

Every player is staying until she announces otherwise.
