Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 2374058, member: 10"] This article on Larrier, with quotes from A.J. Price about his experience, shows how tricky it is to come back after an ACL tear. Physically you should be fine but that doesn't mean you come back and are what you were right away. [I]UConn coach Kevin Ollie said that Larrier has looked “OK” in early practices, adding “nobody’s looking great right now.” He figures the more Larrier plays and gets back in the grind against top competition, he’ll be back to his old self. Really, Ollie added, the biggest concern for Larrier might be rust. Larrier had to sit out the entire 2015-16 season after transferring from VCU, then played just 3 1/2 games last season before the injury. “He hasn’t played in pretty much two years, so it’s gonna take time,” Ollie said. “We’re not just gonna have him come back and be an All-American. He’s gonna take his time. I want him to fight through the struggles, fight through the times where he felt like giving up. That’s the time where I think he’s gonna separate himself.” [/I] [B][SIZE=5][COLOR=#0000ff][URL='http://www.nhregister.com/sports/article/A-J-Price-UConn-s-Terry-Larrier-must-get-over-12273430.php']A.J.
