UConn women return in late July but Makurat, Mulh, and Edwards May not be allowed to return to U.S. It’s probably meaningless since it would be insanity to play the season but it does present a major problem. Geno designed his offense at the end of the season around Anna and he needs Edwards under the basket in relief. Those of us who are eager to see Paige and Anna creating an unstoppable offense may have to wait until...next year.

That's news to me. Is this something he just said? And I'n no expert but isn't March a little early to be deciding on the next year's offense, especially with 6 of the 10 on his roster not having one second of actual game time?
 
I have to think they'll figure things out. I'm not sure they could even have a season if international players couldn't return. Can you imagine what some teams would look like? Not sure USF could field a starting line up.

I wonder what this does to men's soccer?
 
I actually like this set up better than them ending the season, then finals, then going home for a few weeks, then coming back for the first summer session, then going home again for a month and a half before returning for fall. This will provide a nice continuity in that the team will be together from late July until April instead of the usual start and stop nature of post-season practice.

Alvarez is from Florida; Harvey is from Tennessee; and Leverett is from Georgia. The others:

Czech Republic
Croatia
Italy
Greece
Netherlands
Spain
Portugal
Belgium
Czech Republic
Puerto Rico (can fly to U.S.)
Portugal
Spain

That's 11, excluding Puerto Rico. So they can play 4 on 5 with no bench. ;)
 
To repeat something I posted in another thread yesterday, the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly advocates for schools to open and take precautions (3 feet of social distancing minimum, etc.) to minimize risks. They state there is virtually no risk of serious outcomes, including death, for people under 25 and more risk for suicide ideation and other major problems if kids continue to be isolated at home.

So, let's pray for the politicians making the decisions to listen to these real "medical experts" and not the pundits on TV or those on the internet looking for viewers or clicks.

With respect to the three countries these young ladies would be coming from, consider the following: -Poland is 38th in population (37.8 million) and 39th (34,775) in cases (92 per 100,000) with 1,477 deaths;
-Canada is 39th in population (37.7 million), 19th (104,271) in cases (277 per 100,000) with 8,615 deaths;
-Croatia is 130th in population (4.1 million) and 98th (2,831) in cases (69 per 100,000) with 108 deaths.

TVs have nothing to do with our players being allowed to enter the country.
 
They will be back. I have clients who travel back and forth from NY airports. They are tested and temps taken when they get on and off the plane. No 14 day quarantine either. Im sure Anna and Nika will be here. Tested in Europe by doctors then temp taken when getting on the plane. Temps taken when they arrive and possible Doctors checkup and they will play if they test ok.
 
yeah, players from europe, south america, canada, etc. coming to WNBA teams recently.. haven't heard of problems for them.
meeseman from belgium.
zahui from switzerland (i think).
magbegor from australia.
theres 2 players from canada on lynx.
even dantas from brazil made it in yesterday.

"No risk of serious outcomes" for those under 25? Have to question this statement. My daughter is a pediatric nurse and just had two teenagers die and a 4 week old baby near death but fortunately make it through. There are many medical issues that anyone can have that coupled with Corona Virus are often fatal. Let's not confuse rare with "no risk."

Besides there are the very real dangers of these youngsters infecting elderly and medically compromised. The current increase in cases is among the younger. In a few weeks we may see it spread to those endangered groups. Besides we keep learning more and more about this virus every week and most of it is’t good. It is why this 75 year-old who desperately misses his kid and grandkid is staying put, waiting for vaccine. When the polio vaccine was released, my mom didn’t wait for mass vaccinations at school, she had me in doctor’s office on day of general release. It was fun watching hundreds of my classmates get the “needle” later.
 
They are starting to talk about fall college football moving to the spring and starting men's college basketball after Jan 1. These ideas appear to be more realistic with the pandemic raging across parts of America. The safety of the players should be the first priority. I know we all want to see the 5 freshmen and Evina but we might have to wait.
 
Requirements for foreign students returning to U.S. from countries currently banned include having student first travel to a non-banned country, under going a two week quarantine, then flying to U.S. and undergoing a second 14 day quarantine.

We will get some indications of what is going to happen with the professional sports teams attempting to start their seasons. Players are reporting for (Spring training) in the next couple of days with the first practices starting on Saturday. If players when they report have COVID 19 what will they do? Quarantine them for 14 days. Major league baseball is allowing a 60 player roster of Major and minor league players for supporting the possibility of some players getting the virus. What would UCONN women's team do? We have ten women players? Doesn't seem feasible to me. Baseball maybe. They are going to give it a shot.
