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

Anybody know the status of her knee?
 
It was briefly mentioned she had knee issues but there was no elaboration.

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!
 
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
 
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.

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 convoluted comment was meant to read: what KIND of bruise requires a brace??
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.

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
 
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.

As you point out, Batouly can get a 6th year redshirt for medical reasons if her injury is "season ending." I would respectfully submit that if Batouly doesn't play again, her injury is season ending.

This isn’t true. I forgot her name but the girl from OK is in her 6th year

I don't believe the NCAA sees it that way unfortunately. It's not as easy as just saying Player X can't play the rest of the season therefore it's season ending. Otherwise teams could take advantage of being able to get an extra year for a player which would come in handy if a coach knows the cupboard is bare in an upcoming season. The granting of a 6th year to complete your 4 years of eligibility is fairly rare and seems to only be granted in exceptional cases, though what the NCAA determines as exceptional these days is anyone's guess.

The granting of a 6th year is also more common in cases - like Manning's - when the player has lost two years due to injury. In cases when one of the two lost years was due to a player's choice to transfer - they are less likely to grant the 6th season.
