Poor Batouly

[BostonBay]

Doesnt look like her knee will allow her to make any contributions. She's shown good flashes & would really help this team with her physical presence.
Big loss. Poor Batouly.

I'm amazed that she just doesn't throw in the towel. Very courageous lady.

Her biggest contribution was always going to be off the court. It's been pretty evident for a while now that she will be going pro in something other than basketball. She's kind of in the same boat that Caroline was.

 

[Go/huskies]

I see that she hasn’t been to any away games unless Westbrook is also there, seems like her biggest contribution has been keeping Westbrook company. Maybe she’s going to redshirt this year so next year Walker won’t be the only one celebrating on senior night.

 

[HGN]

Very unfortunate. I wish Batouly the very best in health and all future endeavors.

 

[JoePgh]

If she ends up not playing this year, I would think she would have an excellent case to be approved for a 6th year if she wants to do that. But I still hope to see her in action pretty soon.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The latest I heard is that she MAY be available in January.

That’s the last we’ve all heard. I just don’t know why some people like to make more out of something and something out of nothing. Oh well, I wish Batouly the best!

You have to wonder what contribution she could have made if she was healthy (similar to Brittney Hunter). I always felt that she had a lot of potential.

Has something new been announced regarding Batouly? The last operation was a knee scope with a 6-8 week recovery. Which would bring her back at about Christmas time with over 20 plus games remaining in the season.

If I remember correctly(doubtful this time of year) Coach Auriemma was asked about Touly around the DePaul game and he said something like "she is nowhere near being ready for a practice let alone being ready for a game."

I haven't heard anything new since then. That announcement was Nov. 4, from which 6-8 weeks would mean a window of Dec. 16-30. Hopefully she can see some court time in January.

UConn’s Batouly Camara undergoes knee surgery, expected recovery time is six to eight weeks

Redshirt senior Batouly Camara underwent a successful scope on her left knee Monday morning, UConn announced Monday. Camara, a 6-foot-2 forward and one of the Huskies’ four seniors, will have…

I've also been a huge Batouly fan and hope she can get some action from January to April!

 

[MilfordHusky]

In a presser or interview, Geno said something like, "Not before January" regarding Touly's availability.

 

[iri10]

If she hadn't been so physically beaten up, I think it's very feasible that Touly could have had a nice little boost this year like Irwin and Bent have had. It bums me out more than Evelyn if I'm honest, if only because I've seen a lot more of her and also know that she fits nicely with the team in temperament if not in physical durability.

 

[oldude]

Whether Touly plays or not this year, I greatly admire her positive attitude and support for her teammates. It’s easy to focus on yourself when you’re injured. Touly is all about her teammates, and I have no doubt that Geno greatly appreciates Touly’s example and leadership despite her injuries.

IF the team can get any positive contribution from Batouly and/or Evelyn, this becomes a much more dangerous team when playing the other elite teams. Most of the other Elite Teams have significant size advantage over UConn, thus UConn can't get into foul trouble. However, if Batouly and/or Evelyn can provide 10-12 minutes of productive play (rebounding), then Foul Trouble up front is less of an issue. Time will Tell.

Jacki Gemelos, who UConn recruited, had her career ruined by ACL tears. She was supposed to be the next D.

Some bodies just don't mend properly

Jacki Gemelos, who UConn recruited, had her career ruined by ACL tears. She was supposed to be the next D.

Yet amazingly she is still playing at 31 years of age.
