I’ve heard that Mir McLean is practicing with UVA. Can’t confirm and don’t know if there are any restrictions. Hope it’s true.

Sigh. And another - Daphane White, (GS), Jackson State, announced she tore her YKW.

Darn darn darn! This has to be the worst season for injuries yet.

Is it?

We are tracking them in this thread so it really, really looks bad. But I wonder how it compares with previous seasons when we didn’t have a thread tracking it.

I will admit that it looks bad this year but I would like to see a study done that compares seasons. Has there been a steady rise over the last 5/10 reasons? Is this year an anomaly?

The NCAA needs to commission a study

Clearly my statement is anecdotal based on the posts, but there seems to be more of an epidemic this year.

Agreed the NCAA should examine the issue closely.

This is beyond the NCAA and personally, I don't think they'd put the effort in considering which sports bring in most of the revenue.

The data is out there. Question is whether those at the grassroots level (HS, AAU coaches and trainers) are willing to take a step back and review how they do things. If you can help impact how players train and move their bodies as they grow into them, it could go a long way to help minimize some of these injuries.

Injury bug strikes another star. Cameron Brink left 6 minutes into the game tonight due to an apparent leg injury. Here's hoping it isn't anything serious.

Thanks for sharing these articles. Especially Mangakahia's as I've been curious as to how she has been doing. Glad to see she's found a way to stay in the sport and is fighting. Prayers to her and her family.
