Polish players

[Carnac]

From what I’ve gathered, the suit is less about student athletes who are abroad and want to come back (like those that we want back), but rather kicking students out of the country who have never left because their universities aren’t offering in-person courses.

...........and can’t get back into the country when they begin.

Why do this to the foreign students if no one asked for this or wants this? Is there anyone that actually asked for this to be done?

The answers to your questions would cause this thread to be locked. Best to keep it about the outcome of the legal challenges and what that may mean for UConn's foreign players.

I don't agree with that. So kids dying of horrible diseases, getting abused any number of ways is something you have to accept if you can't effect it directly? Sorry. I will never be okay with that.

What is the suit asking for ? I am against just letting all 600,000 foreign students in to the USA at this time.
They should all be quarantined prior to arrival.

Unfortunately, the U.S. poses more of a threat to these foreign students than they do to the U.S. Virus is out of control here, not so much in Europe, hence ban on American travel to EU.

Last column is the death rate per hundred thousand.

More infected here, more deaths. If 1000 are infected and only 40 die that’s 4%. If 10,000 are infected at 4% that’s 400 deaths. That is why one fourth of all deaths worldwide are in U.S. where the infected number is growing. If living is important, you avoid those countries with more infections. The first goal is not to get infected. also those countries with a higher death rate are countries in which the most vulnerable died BEFORE they managed to control virus, so their percentage is higher because they shutdown and controlled it.

That assumes a few things like perfect knowledge worldwide and consistency of testing and treatment. Those things do no exist. The US is a leader in number tests and not surprisingly is also a leader in number of cases. The more you test, the more you find.

Note that final column is deaths per 100k population not deaths per 100k infected.

The number of tests isn't the key, as the medical experts explain. It is the petcentage of positives. Our positives are big time, hence the seberity in U.S. The greater nimber of trsts is a smokescreen. Don't fall for this.

Depends on your figures and who are testing and what metric you are using right? If you are talking the raw number of infected, then yes the number of test actually matters. If you taking the % or infected to number of people tested then ,if the tests are random, I agree. If the tests are only people who seek them out or get them pursuant to doctors orders then the class of people being tested isn't representative of the population.

There have been some really good and detailed post on this subject.

I am 78 years old and have been through many virus and medical problems attacking the United States and the world. Just be patient and we will survive sooner than later.

Not a virus like this one. Nearly 140,000 dead so far. And the disease is only getting started in many of the country's biggest states.

Not a virus like this one. We need massive mobilization, not complacency.

Pontificators and experts about this virus aside, does anyone have the current knowledge of the set of rules that will allow Anna and Nikka the flexibility to come to the University to practice as a team, take classes and get ready for basketball? Does anyone know if this is in progress and that the young women are preparing to return? Does anyone know when and if basketball practice is scheduled to restart per Geno? Does anyone have any concrete knowledge if and when the Big East will have basketball and when it will start?

My 10 month old German Shepherd Puppy, Max, is tired of hearing your EXPERT opinions on this virus and just wants to go out and play with the horses.

Start with her sister.

Aren't student visas good for 4 or 5 years? It is my understanding then tht Anna already has a visa and would not be blocked entry (but likely have to quarantine on entry. Nika is a more serious problem as she has yet to get a visa. I'm not sure how Canadian students are classified but I would think that would be less of a problem.

Nice thought but Agata wants to beat her sister, not join her team.

UConn’s Anna Makurat is living her mother’s dream

The freshman guard for the Huskies came to UConn from Poland, the second Makurat girl to travel to the U.S. for college.

“It was funny,” Ola says with a laugh. “It really shows how Anna was like the crazy one. Anna didn’t even want to share the ball with (Agata). I have the whole video, and it’s very funny. I feel like she had that passion inside of her since she was a kid and that’s something, I don’t know, not everyone has that.”

Agata is also excelling at the sport, having played for Poland in the 2019 FIBA U-16 women’s European championship. Anna had similarly represented the country in the 2017 U-20 women’s European championship and Ola played internationally for the Polish U-18 and U-20 teams. Anna says Agata is looking forward to playing in the United States, but with a different team. As Agata once told her Anna, she wants to beat her.

Agata is a 2023, so even if she goes to a different team, Anna probably will have graduated/gone pro.

Or Agata realizes that to outdo Anna she has to play at UConn. If Anna stays at 8 threes as a high in a game (which I doubt, I predict 13), Agata shoots nine while passing backward through her legs for an assist. I was reminded the pass of the year came in that 8 three game. Maybe Anna can be drafted by Sun and be close to little sis.
