Music to my ears. As a worry wart, I feared maybe Blanca's issues were similar to Ayanna - who had chronic issues that eventually required surgery and 2 years of rehab.
So glad they both seem to be ok and are, or are close to, 100%!!

I'd hold them both out until they are absolutely 100%.......in addition to getting them physically ready for the tournaments to come, it gives Geno more time to see what other combinations he likes going forward and gives Allie and Jana more playing time to work on their games....

We tend to think shoulders are simple things. Nope, not even close.

Per Geno, Carol is always day-to-day.
Indeed.. legs can be stabilized in several ways, and physical therapy works well. But shoulders...by their very nature, they're unstable. They have to rotate in all sorts of ways, and when healing from a tear or pull, tend to freeze up, as with my now relatively useless right shoulder. It's surgery or to heck with it.

She is always day to day. While she’s much improved, she still gets migraines
‘This isn’t the end of my story’: How UConn’s Caroline Ducharme made it back on the court
For 2 1/2 years, Caroline Ducharme was lost. Separated from basketball, though not her UConn teammates, feeling healthy and fit for one day, or part of a day, and then terrible in the next moment. “I would have a good day, a good game, a good stretch,” Ducharme said. “And I would have this...

The importance of getting and keeping Blanca healthy for the Big Dance can not be overstated. Looking at some of the long, athletic teams like TX, SC, LSU and UCLA, having a second athletic forward like Blanca to pair up with Sarah will be critical for the Huskies in winning #13. Both Sarah & Blanca are matchup nightmares.
Whatever time Blanca misses during the remainder of the BE season is relatively unimportant. She’s played enough basketball with this team to regain her timing quickly. Hopefully, Blanca is back on the court starting Saturday, or soon thereafter, for the remainder of the season.
