Ice Brady

[Stagnant]

Thank you Ice. I have enjoyed having you on the team.

Hoping for a speedy recovery, Ice!

The rule is you get 1 senior night, you can come back for a year after your senior night, but you don't get to be honored again. So it doesn't say anything definitively.

Bueckers and Griffin were both honored twice and Fudd will participate for the second time this Sunday.

Maybe smart for Ice to pick up a graduate degree like Azzi did. If she is healthy for two seasons after her surgery, she could make a comeback. She was a strong contributor in last year’s title win.

I just read on UCONN WBB that Yanna is also taking part in the Senior Day festivities, along with CD, ICE and Serah W.

@ucmiami2 - - - Paige and Dorka had 2 Senior nights where they got 1 home then 1 away framed jersey!
So Ice on Sunday will get a white framed jersey and if she decides to stay she'll be eligible for the away jersey next Senior Night!

Under current NCAA bylaws, there's a five calendar year cap within which a student must use her four years of sports eligibility. Brady is eligible next season but not thereafter under this rule.

There are special circumstances, including medical circumstances, in which the five year cap can be extended, but those exceptions have not been common in WCBB. Jamie Carey got a sixth year to play her four years of eligibility, and Ali Patberg got seven years.

Now that money (and the courts) are involved the NCAA is finding it harder to unilaterally (and arbitrarily) rule against players.

Hope she returns healthy after her rehab. Ice Ice Brady!

 

[Dogdude]

Good luck with the surgery, and prayers for a speedy and complete recovery!

Senior night should be for players who are completing their fourth year of college.

If a player decides to leave after his/her freshman, sophomore or junior seasons then they should not have a "Senior Night".

THey can de honored another way but Senior Night is for Seniors.

What about Redshirt Seniors? Should they have their own Senior Night and if so when, with their original class or after their Redshirt year? Or like the current, favored way, both!! Oh, you answered that one already.
And if a player leaves early, then they aren't at UConn for their Senior year....

In recent years, this has not been true. See Aubrey, Dorka, Paige and Azzi

 

[EricSD]

Wow what a great message from her - just incredible and so well written and heartfelt. She's had a rough road hoops-wise. Hoping for better things in her future and a successful recovery!!!

Back to Brady -

I wouldn't expect anything less from Ice.........she's always been a great teammate on and off the court....

 

[MSGRET]

Wishing for a complete recovery and that if she stays that she will be able to play next season to her full potential, free of any nagging medical issues. My prayers goes out to Ice during her recovery period.

Not sure I understand your post, cullaville, or the negative reactions to it.

Senior night is only for seniors—academic seniors, regardless of how many sports seasons they have played or have remaining. I don't recall an academic freshman, sophomore or junior participating in UConn's Senior Night. Ice Brady presumably is an academic senior and is hence eligible to participate.

Because a few academic senior UConn players have had their sports eligibility seasons extended into a post-graduate academic year—due, e.g., to a medical redshirt year or the special Covid extra year—they have been granted the courtesy of participating in the Senior Night of their post-graduate year as well as in the Senior Night of previous year when they participated as an academic senior. If Brady plays for UConn next season during a post-graduate academic year, she presumably would be granted this courtesy if she wants it.

I did not mean to imply that Brady should not be part of senior night. She has completed four academic years.

Not sure if Uconn (men or women) have ever included a player who has not completed four academic years (or finished degree requirements in less than four years) in senior night. I know other schools have.

MY point is that to be part of senior night you should be a senior.

I know it gets a bit convoluted sometimes with the fifth tear for grad students and other exceptions.

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.

 

[Bald Husky]

How many times after watching our Posts performances this year have you said to yourself, "we sure could use Ice right now".

 

[ucmiami2]

Misinformation.

I was actually quoting what Geno said re Morgan Tuck toward the end of her senior year (with a year of eligibility left and no decision made yet by her.) Forgot that they had changed the policy last year for Paige/Aubrey.
