Injury/Recovery updates:



Tough blow for Sparty. Down two players. I might be mistaken, but didn't Elliott begin her career at Clemson?

Yes, Elliott was at Clemson. Went down with an ACL injury early into conference play last season. This now makes it the second year in a row that she's sidelined :(

I guess everyone's strength and conditioning programs should be under scrutiny...

Young people playing year round while their bodies are growing could be a reason for do many injuries. You need time for rest and recuperation, and playing at school then all the AAU schedule puts a strain on the body.

So many factors can go into it as you noted above. Pointing the finger at a program's training team, without taking all possible factors into consideration isn't fair.
 
Coach Niele Ivey, when questioned Friday about any injured Irish returning to action for the Purdue game on Sunday, Dec. 17th, said none would be coming back. So, that means that in addition to Olivia Miles and Jenna Brown, who have not stepped on court this season, Sonia Citron, Cass Prosper and Emma Risch will also not play.

Is it too early to say Bah Humbug?

As you're aware, Niele took a lot of flack for not giving any timetable on Olivia Miles or Jenna Brown. With both Sonia Citron and Cass Prosper, she said "a couple of weeks." Given that Citron's injury happened in the third game(!), people like MPG of the Bench are now suggesting Coach Ivey amend that to "month to month"...at best. Injuries and body parts, as you know, are going to let you know when they're ready, not the other way around. Oh, and frosh Emma Risch joined the walking wounded last game: that's 5 in street clothes.

This current lineup iteration for Notre Dame: Kylee Watson, Maddy Westbeld, KK Branford, Anna DeWolfe and Hannah Hidalgo, with Nat Marshall as super-sub, has been playing pretty well. Miss Citron and Prosper, are missed, of course. But there is good depth. Not a lot of it, so knock on wood.

Vandy lost one of its top guards, freshman Madison Greene, to a knee injury Sunday.

 
Iowa State has pre-season Big 12 1st team PG Emily Ryan back for the first time this year. Albeit for only 9 minutes a lot of fans thought she might not play this season. Undisclosed medical issue, hence the mystery on whether she would be back or not.

Nice fainting goat by the defender. That should be an automatic ejection!

Ugh. I'm so sorry to hear this. What an awful time Vandy, much like UConn, has had with injuries.

Madison averaged over 20 minutes per game and played in 10 games. I hope that she qualifies for a medical hardship waiver, but she's on the borderline of eligibility.

Unfortunately, she played in all 11 games. Nine would be the cutoff for the 30-percent medical redshirt rule. They can try it.

Strange. The Vanderbilt stats page shows her as having played 10 games.

In any event, if 9 is the cutoff, she's just above that.

That's weird. Last night I'm almost sure it said 11...lol. I went there to check that very thing. Also, I can't remember a game where she didn't play, even though the time was limited in some early games. Her minutes increased as the season progressed. Anyway, as you said, 10 is still too many. They can still apply for it, and if it is turned down, there is an appeal procedure. The NCAA is getting more toothless by the day. Who knows, maybe they would just throw their hands up and approve it.

OK, I hate to derail this thread, but it seems slow today, so I'll go ahead and post what I found out. Turns out when you go to vucommodores.com and make your way to the women's season stats, there are two versions listed (PDF) and (XML). The PDF is the one I always choose, and that one lists Greene as having played in 11 games.


The XML version is the one you found and posted, and it says Greene only played 10. I have no idea why they would differ, but I'm going with the PDF version since I know it is correct. It's much ado about nothing, I guess. I'm not a huge stats nerd, but I do like to check them from time to time, and it bugs me when I see errors.

Bottom line is, I went back and looked at all 11 box scores, and Maddie definitely played in all the games. This injury is tough. She had improved so much that she was definitely our second-best guard behind Jordyn Cambridge at this point, and her playing time was bound to increase. What's awful is, she'll probably miss most of the non-conference section of next year's schedule, and it will be very difficult for her to get up to speed against conference foes. This year's team will really miss her, too. Oh, well, lots of teams have injury problems.
 


Oh no :(. Posting this so we can put out positive vibes and hope for a full recovery.

Oh, jeezum, thanks for that, Can. I'm living proof that there's hope, and I'm hoping she's as lucky as I was (I was a pedestrian).
