Message: [QUOTE="ERWUC65, post: 5014444, member: 13052"] I would hazard a guess that approximately 1/3 of all posts on this forum mention the words medical or injury, which would make one think that top schools, like (especially) UConn, would consider this a critical factor in making an offer to a prospect to join their program. Many of the posts are highlighting players who are just beginning their high school (public, private, specialty) careers, even once and a while even a prodigy younger than that. Considering the scrutiny these players are now under I would expect we would hear about any of those who have career ending situations, but wonder about those who have minor issues, repeat problems, repairs, rehab, etc. 4 years of intense competition is to be expected of these prospects (maybe 30 games a year or more for the best - tournament, club, summer, etc.) and that's a lot of wear and tear and potential for damage goods before graduation. So my questions are: (1) Is this information readily available for review, (2) can a prospect be medically evaluated prior to offer, (3) Is this now an impact factor in selection, have schools been using this (UConn in particular), and (4) do we all recognize now that with this, NIL, Portal, and Conference realignment, the top teams in Women's College Basketball are now a mini WNBA.
