She’s as physically able as Chloe Kitts or Cassandra Prosper.
Did Kitts join you guys at the start of the season? Prosper is a good comparison but I am still not convinced that a high school player can join a high-major college team mid-season and be expected to play without a minutes limitation. In fact, I’ll go so far as to say, I think it’s a little reckless.
I'm confused about why Chloe Kitts is actually playing this year...........it's not like South Carolina has a short bench.......
No minute limitation, but the year counts toward the 4/5 season limitation despite what some misinformed Notre Dame folks might assert. Kitts and Prosper are using one of their seasons of eligibility.
She wanted to and we had an open scholly. Plain and simple. She wants to be out of college in 3 1/2 years.
I was thinking of Big East games. I expect Ayanna and Caroline to be back long before the tournament games begin. UConn should have a solid 9 player active roster available for conference and NCAA tournament games.
Knock on wood, oh venerated Seer
It’s been said that some of the things you learn in college will not be in the classroom. That will be especially true in Jana’s case.
To be 18 and begin college in a foreign country. The world is her oyster. She’ll experience so many new things and meet lots of new people including some of her countrymen from Egypt.
If Jana is officially a scholarship player on the roster, the team cannot request a postponement if Jana makes 7. They would have to play or forfeit. I, too, would not like to see them play with only 6. But you play the hand you are dealt.
The Big East seven player minimum rule requires seven players who are able to play without a minutes limitation. In my opinion, playing a kid who was playing high school basketball a month ago without a minute cap would be reckless. That’s why I don’t think the addition of Jana changes the math of that seven person rule as it pertains to Connecticut.
Now that’s what I call a fast turn-a-round. Arrive on campus yesterday, attend classes today, then suit up for a game tonight.
If I understand from all the posts this week, she has 5 years of eligibility from when she enrolls. I think it may only start if she is on scholarship, not sure if she is on scholarship this semester. If she is, then her 5 years is up around Jan. 20, 2028. For that time frame, she has 4 years of competition allowed, with 1 second of play counting as a year, unless she gets a medical redshirt. If she plays the next four seasons, that ends in Spring of 2027 at the end of the season. If she tries to take a year off after she starts playing she would get in what we would call 3.5 seasons before her eligibility ends in January of 2028, and she would off the team that last half of the 2027-2028 season. But this is way too much speculation. Let's just let it play out and see what happens. With our luck we may have ..... no I won't even say it. That would bring the curse to life.
I must have missed where / when Geno won his 12th NC ...
