“It’s really frustrating, because you watch her and her range is better than it’s ever been and her release is quicker than it’s ever been,” Auriemma said. “What are you going to do?”

Hopefully she can get some time vs Marquette. Doesn't have to be a lot of minutes, maybe around 10. Just having her on the floor, and being able to sub her in will be a huge win. There are a lot of games left to bring her back slowly, as will be the case when Azzi returns. Azzi told Geno she will be back a few games before the start of post season play. Really excited, so if these two can get acclimated to the game in a pretty short timeline it will be exciting.

Awesome news. Hopefully she brings Azzi with her.

For the first couple games back, while she's getting her comfort in games again, just tell her to stay outside and shoot, don't drive to the basket, or go inside to rebound!

Good luck with that
Just because she’s quiet doesn’t mean she’s not a competitor.
I’m the heat of battle, Caroline will mix it up and fight for the ball.
Actually I agree with you about keeping her safe.

Shrugs. She’s either cleared to play or she’s not. If she’s cleared to play, she can’t play tentative.

I do worry about her, though. Given how persistent this last concussion has been, I wonder how many more she can tolerate and continue to play.

I just hope that everyone takes it slow and steady on this process with Caroline.

Unfortunately ALL these reports have been overly optimistic without consultation with medical staff.
Wish her the best.
