Paige is practicing

AgStatesman said:
I have heard that Paige has incentives in her NIL deals that pay massive bonuses for her being named Player of the Year again. She will not risk winning that award by not playing Friday night. I personally believe that she will want to make a statement and will try to put up Caitlin Clark like numbers. I won't be one bit surprised if she gets 40 shots up against Xavier and goes for 50 points.

Dang. I think you rattled a bee's nest.

Me: "Dumbest post?! What are they complaining about now? There's no way what was said could be anywhere near the worst posts ever!"

Me: "Oh"

Geezy @#$% people. I'm sorry @AgStatesman , you know some people can't look up to see anything.

You're actually going to claim that there haven't been almost-as-inane but serious posts on this board about how player X was going to do something miraculous?

This is what I'm afraid of. I know she wants to play. I know the team wants her to play. I know everybody here wants her to play.

The pressure to get back out there soon is unspoken but it is there. I really hope Paige listens to her body and if it isn't right she has the courage to say so. I'd hate to see her suffer a setback.

I highly doubt that pressure from any sources will lead to bad decisions about when Paige gets into a game and for how long. I can't imagine the coaching staff would have doubts about her readiness for any given level of physical exertions and let outside influences override those doubts. At every step of the way during her recovery there is a continual feedback loop between her doctors, trainers, coaches and parents as to how far along she is in getting back to full speed. Paige may want to get back ASAP, but Geno is going to trust what he hears through the feedback loop, what his experiences with other players recoveries have been and what his eyes tell him. How much she practices and plays is his informed decision and Paige isn't going to talk him into doing anything against his better judgment.

Obviously, a sarcastic post...just trying to figure out who you are poking...the posters calling for her return, the posters who say she won't be ready or the NIL system for college athletes?

One non-PB item seen in a couple of the videos in this thread. It looks to me like Liv is also on the court and moving around w/o any noticable appearance of discomfort-she isn't running, just walking through the plays as we watch PB move. That is an encouraging sign to me as I was concerned about the sevedrity of her groin injury.
 
There are actually fans who subscribe to INSIDER sites for similar information in this post. Here, it's free! I don't need to know anything that bad about wcbb for $29.99 a month. I do see a side hustle in the future.

A very short video that shows Paige at team practice.
Geno and Nika say a few words too.
 
Maybe someone should start a new "at Xavier" thread with a poll about how Paige will be dressed at the game. Like
In warm ups wearing a brace (her attire as of late)
In warm ups no brace
In uniform wearing a brace
In uniform no brace

I will never understand the timing of a transfer like this, of course unless there are extreme mitigating circumstances.

If you have big time BB aspirations then this makes less sense. But how many players fit that description? (Very few)

If this is just a transaction to get a free education, then there is a limit — eg like when you get fed up with a job.

check out paige's gait on that slo-mo side to side curl. she's up on her toes with that left leg. wholeism is returning to that body part. u don't get out in front iffn there is concern in ur mind that jiggly pieces may break loose.
as far as the 'up on toes' thing, i've seen very few that naturally do it like russ westbrook, especially earlier in his career. that guy leaves only toenail prints in the sand. amazing. paige is mostly an up on toes type, and her injury came when she mis-short-stepped and landed awkwardly on the back part of her foot, sending a force vector up her leg.
as long as an injury doesn't result in a tangled bird's nest of mangled rubber bands, injury diagnosis and therapies can be straightforward. im sure the bone parts of the puzzle should heal just fine. she ain't got osteoporosis.
nika sez in that video 'as azzi sez, we're gonna be a nasty team when she comes back.' youse listening?

a former Yankees player had the same issues after running into the outfield fence in spring training. Never was the same.

Huh? That's equivalent to Paige? You saw both sets of xrays/MRIs? Perhaps you saw these while you were staying at a Holiday Inn Express? What does your post have to do with anything?
 
Geno is going to have to ease Paige back into the lineup. Maybe only play her 16 minutes a 1/2 to start out.
 
I'm not sure what we posters would do if we weren't allowed to speculate, pretend we're doctors (apologies to those that are), pretend we're coaches (see Dr. apology), and pretend we're players.

All those jobs are tiring!

I don’t believe for a minute that the tomahawks won’t come out at tourney time ala face block to Caroline or trip screens and very hard fouls underneath with “extreme prejudice” -above and beyond normal aggressive play.
That’s why 100% is REQUIRED.

How-- or better yet-- why do you assume that opponents will basically play "dirty" ball. Ten bodies in a high intensity contest in a relatively small space will bang and collide somewhat, but you really shouldn't toss out accusations of deliberate mayhem beforehand.
