Message: [QUOTE="Sluconn Husky, post: 2764401, member: 5089"] Two articles out on MC today. [I]Although the numbers didn’t show it, Coombs, a McDonald’s All-American coming out of Georgia, felt right before the diagnosis as if everything — from her on-the-court performance to her grasp of the mental side of the sport — had started to click... “I finally felt like things were starting to come together, just adjusting,” she said. “There were still some struggle points, but, just adjusting as a freshman … and being around the coaches all the time and hearing what I needed to adjust, I think it helped me grow as a basketball player.” Coombs still has not been cleared for contact, with a murky timetable as to when that might change. Nevertheless, she remains optimistic about her growth on the court. She’s used her downtime to get stronger in the weight room and refine her shooting stroke — a part of her game she admits needs improvement. When asked to clarify her timetable, Coombs said this: “Definitely before the season, but I don’t know. It’s just one of those things where we have to watch for precautionary measures. It’s just waiting, being very patient. If anything, I’ve learned patience from this injury.”[/I] [URL="https://www.ctpost.com/uconn/article/Coombs-on-the-mend-and-eager-to-get-back-to-13028499.php?utm_campaign=twitter-desktop&utm_source=CMS%20Sharing%20Button&utm_medium=social"]Coombs on the mend and eager to get back to basketball[/URL] * [I]Coombs is hopeful she'll have no restrictions soon, though she said that depends on her progress and the medication that she's taking. .... "To be honest, Coach is working hard and been laying it out there for the team," Coombs said. "I've been focusing on the little things that I can do and fine tuning those things. I could have done a lot more defensively last year but I didn't mentally put myself up to that challenge. I'll be focusing on that. I'm working on getting to the basket more, not necessarily to score but just draw the defense and dish off.[/I] [URL="https://www.sny.tv/uconn/news/uconn-sophomore-coombs-making-progress-staying-patient/283026478"]UConn sophomore Coombs making progress, staying patient[/URL] [/QUOTE]
