I stand correctedThat was only for one year. Players taking advantage of the extra Covid year do count towards the scholarship limit now

No she went live with them so she was on the screen with the players with KK.Just to view the Tik tok or she was actually in the video with KK? Not surprising either way because I think they are friends.
if you look at Instagram and who is following whom, you’ll see all of the top players follow one another. For example, Sarah is also following:Sarah Strong reposted on her Instagram a video posted by Oklahoma WBB showing highlights of Sahara Williams. Does anyone know what the connection between Sarah and Sahara is? Or is it a connection between Sarah and OU?
Players who choose the extra year do not count toward the scholarship limit. So if all four seniors elected to return, UConn could have 19 scholarship players.

Sarah and Sahara played U18 3X3 together (with KK and Mikaylah Williams).
If Caroline decided to quit the team, UConn might find an academic scholarship or grant for her so she could complete her degree. I believe that’s what happened with Kiersten WaltersThis might be a stupid question, but if Caroline Ducharme were to medically retire (which I think could be a possibility at this point), would she still have a scholarship until she graduates? If she would no longer have a scholarship, that would be one potential way to free up a spot for another recruit/transfer. In my mind, it would make sense for Geno to recruit more players from the portal or be more open to having walk-on players due to the 3 consecutive seasons we’ve been plagued with injuries. So an abundance of players wouldn’t be the end of the world to me.
Yes, medical retirement means that she keeps her scholarship, but it does not count towards the team's limit. It would mean that she could not play for UConn again if she recovers though, but she could transfer and play out eligibility in the future.This might be a stupid question, but if Caroline Ducharme were to medically retire (which I think could be a possibility at this point), would she still have a scholarship until she graduates?

Everyone’s mind?! Not all of us.It seems unusually difficult to get information about Caroline. Like, is she medically red-shirted for this season or not? Is there a treatment for her condition that would allow her to play next year? And finally, has anyone asked the UConn staff about this scholarship question on everyone's mind?

FWIW: according to Wikipedia, she has turned pro in LithuaniaI haven’t heard her mentioned in awhile on the BY, but whatever happened to Juste Jocyte? Is there any chance she would play in college, or has she gone professional for Lithuania (I don’t quite understand all the rules about that). I looked at her Instagram and saw that Nika Muhl and Azzi Fudd were following her, which I believe Azzi wasn’t following her the last time I looked. Didn’t know if I shouldn’t even get my hopes up!

The "junior" European pros can be paid enough money for expenses & still remain eligible for the NCAA.I don't get that from the Wikipedia article. It hasn't been clear to me whether she is an unpaid amateur in a pro league or a paid pro.
Also I would think if she had made a decision to not pursue the college option, someone would have discovered it and mentioned it here.The "junior" European pros can be paid enough money for expenses & still remain eligible for the NCAA.
I think the NCAA classifies the money as living expenses as opposed to working wages.
