Odds of Poffenbarger seeing action this year

So like all students returning to campus, Saylor has to participate in a residential quarantine. This snippet is from the fall move in information, but as we know, the CDC has revised incubation time to ten days.

And then, there were two tests (a mail in test and an arrival test) before Saylor was able to move in.

I’m also willing to guess that Saylor is now being tested every three days like the rest of the team.

It seems like all of the rules are being followed and she’s putting in her required quarantine (according to UConn’s definition of a residential quarantine) time before she comes in contact with anyone else in the program.

Does attending the game today meet the preventative quarantine (in effect for all on-campus students until the end of the month) rules of no attendance of university sponsored events?

Do you really think they would allow her to do something that broke the rules? Do you really think they would not have tripled checked the regulations to ensure that a player who came early to play basketball didn’t have to sit out an extra 2 weeks ?

On, Together Our community has demonstrated care and compassion for others throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and has been held up as a model to other universities for how to do this right. UConn and the state of Connecticut are very proud of this accomplishment, but our work is not done. As our c ...

It says university sponsored activities — that’s stuff like club meetings, Greek life, res life events — pretty much close gatherings.

Activities ≠ Events

I’d be willing to bet my meager teacher’s paycheck that she went to Gampel, sat by herself, and left. It’s a pretty spacious place when there are only a couple hundred people around

In short, yes. If not, why couldn't any other student have access to Gampel to attend the game and sit six or sixty feet from any other person? Also if it was all good why not have her sit with the team?

Players can get tickets for friends and family.

Any student who a player wants to give one of their few tickets to can go.

Christyn’s girlfriend has been at most (if not all) of the home games

I firmly believe CD knows the rules and enforces them strictly, so I also believe that Saylor attending the game and being at a distance from the team was permissible. Geno and CD did not get where they are by being stupid.

With every passing game, the likelihood of Saylor's imminent participation increases.

I remember that exact number from an old soap commercial. And just like Ivory soap, Saylor floats too!

I remember a 7th grade math test question: "If Ivory soap is 99 & 44/100% pure, what percentage is impure?" Yeah, I grew up in the midwest.

Always wondered what those impurities were...anyone know?

Insect parts.

 

[CL82]

Yeah, I think she'll play. I expect that she'll get in not too long after she's eligible. If Geno has any thoughts of playing her against South Carolina, he'll play her in 2-3 games before that. If he thinks she isn't ready, she'll play in the conference games after South Carolina. If she's lagging behind, she'll play in 4th quarters only.

Some posters have said Geno will put her in to makes some 3-pointers. That could happen. But I think he may put her in for defense or rebounding. We'll see.

I think defense is much harder for freshmen to understand than scoring. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her come in for a minute or two at the end of the first half if we have a good lead. I am pretty confident that opposing teams will look to test her when she’s in the game. Playing her in short stretches makes it harder for them to exploit any defense of shortcomings. Just my thoughts.

Arsenic and rat feces I believe.

One of life's mysteries. Like "goodness", as in "our product is chock full of goodness".

That reminds me of some of the drug commercials you see on TV: “Four out of five patients who took XXX report suffering from diarrhea.” Does that mean the fifth patient who took XXX actually enjoys diarrhea?

Insect parts.

Were they impure insects? Did they have bad thoughts? Were they genetically altered? Elucidate please!

 

[Bigboote]

When they did the assay, way back when, they were only able to identify 99.44% of what was in there. So it was 99 44/100 % identified ingredients, 56/100 % unknown ingredients. They turned their inability to do thorough chemistry into an ad campaign. I for on think this is genius.

 

[Fairfield Fan]

One has to wonder whether Coach Geno will trust throwing her on the court without a single day of UConn conditioning. Will he risk injury? And will he really throw her out there without a single week of learning the Connecticut Way? Clearly, he had to have Okayed her arrival, but wonder whether there was some explicit understanding about her role, and whether she would not be permitted to dive in with both feet.....?

 

[MooseJaw]

Mostly insect parts that came not from insects with bad thoughts but rather insects that had impure thoughts, parts that were previously very hairy. Hope this helps

 

[PJCLaw]

I guess the rules don't apply to her. Regular students on the other hand would be kicked off campus. I don't have much tolerance for people that don't follow the rules during this pandemic tbh.

Without you knowing the official day she began her quarantine or the exact number of days for which she has to quarantine, you're speculating and already painting the student athlete in a negative light, i.e., "I guess the rules don't apply to her." Do you really think Geno or the staff would allow ANYONE to skirt the rules to see a game she could watch on t.v.? Let's do better than this!

 

[oldhusky]

Yeah. I wish that she would catch and shoot more as well. Sometimes she has that 2-3 second opening and well within her range to launch a shot. Not sure why she won't take a few more shots. Some games she will take 5-8 attempts. The last 2 games....1-2 attempts. Anna is still one of my favorite players. Just wish that she get that Mamba mindset a few times this season.

I find this frustrating as well. In my opinion Anna could easily put up twice as many three point attempts as she does, if she would make the decision to shoot just before the pass reaches her. She used to do that more often. She waits for a split second to size up the situation and then the opportunity is gone.

Evina is a great example for that. She frequently assesses that she is open and is preparing for the shot as the ball reaches her. Anna is probably the first or second best three point shooter on the team. There is no thinking required if you are just behind the three point line, and have room to immediately launch, do it. If she doesn't there isn't much reason to have her out there. Her usage rate this year is down substantially from last year, when it was already low. I'm pretty sure it is the the lowest 5% nationwide, so the numbers back up what the eyes are telling us.

Now that it appears she has a lower leg injury, perhaps you would be willing to cut her some slack. She may have been struggling with this injury and it may have affected her ability to shoot accurately. I hope that is why her play has deteriorated this year, and that rest allows her to heal quickly. She has taken a merciless beating from some in the BY lately, and maybe we now know something about her trials.

Pure speculation on my part but if, IF, she has been attempting to play through a leg injury only Makurat knows the effect it had on her game. It goes without saying how important the legs are for shooting, especially from long range.

What I find interesting is how the public seemed willing to just accept that 'pure' was inherently good. They made no claim as to quality. just purity. Pure crap may be pure, but it is still crap. Almost a religious overtone to it. And now that most people take showers, the floating thing is not that significant either. Timing , I suppose, is truly everything!
