No Batouly -- anyone know details?

[UConn82]

I was hoping Batouly would play tonight. But she did not.

Anybody know the status of her knee?

 

[HuskyNan]

It was briefly mentioned she had knee issues but there was no elaboration.

 

[oldude]

This is way beyond a bruised knee. I feel bad for Batouly. If healthy, she could have been a key reserve.

What do you think it is?

You don’t put a heavy brace on a bruise.

I just thought that they were being overly cautious.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

I feel so bad for her after sitting out her transfer year and then get hurt a couple weeks in and now to deal with the knee everyday must tear her up! She can really help this team if she were 100%! I can only hope she heals and gets back to her normal self ASAP!

 

[DaddyChoc]

I don't like that we were teased with he limited play... I prefer her to sit out the whole season (and redshirt) if she wasn't really unless its a new injury. I love her movement on the court when she did get into the game

 

[LasVegasYank]

Whatever happens, I hope it's best for her, not just the team.

 

[oldude]

The fact that Batouly got a few minutes several games back and hasn’t been on the court since in a couple of blowouts indicates she probably had a setback of some kind.

I thought I heard Geno say she’s having doubts. Don’t remember the exact quote but something like she’s playing tentatively because she’s afraid to get hurt again.

No but you do to stabilize the joint right?

 

[msf22b]

In warm-ups the other night at Mohegan Sun, she seemed quite hobbled.

What kid of doubts require a knee brace??

That's not uncommon. For example, many players who have had ACL surgery wear a knee brace, even though many orthopedists say the brace won't really help prevent a second non-contact tear. It might prevent the rarer contact injury - but its biggest value is providing confidence to some players who are worried they will tear it again.

Did Touly have an ACL injury?? Every thing I read say bone bruise. I don't understand the highlight "contact injury". Care to expand that?? M

My personal use of knee brace led to little confidence and tended to slow my every move significantly. However, I'm not a 20 year old kid trying to please Geno.

They had knee braces back then?

Fashioned from a bit and a bridle. When horses hit age 16 they were shot for glue---I was pretty worried

Well yeah, stuff you don’t usually do for a bruise. People recover from bruises pretty quickly. My point was that it wasn’t just a bruise.

100% agree. Of course I'm not a Dr or even a nurse ha

But have you ever stayed at a Holiday Inn Express?

Maybe we are getting close to shutting her down for this year and go after the
6th yr medical red shirt exemption. She has only played in two games so far. Maybe
this is what the coaching staff is considering. It's too bad that she had to be limited
this year after sitting out all of last year. I wish her the best.

She can't get a red shirt. You have 5 years to use up your 4 years of eligibility, and she lost one of the years sitting out due to transfer. Plus UConn would have to prove that her injury is season ending which it likely is not.
