Update on Paige [Merged Thread]

[Kaizen]

I believe, if Paige ( her medical team ) decides to have surgery. She will not be back this year. And she should not be pushed in that direction by anyone. I am sure the UCONN coaching staff feel the same. We can be confident that their concern for her welfare is paramount.

Not sure I will listen to you or to Geno. Geno said with surgery another 6-8 weeks from the surgery day.

NIL deals are only for college players.

Any you don’t think Paige’s deals with Gatorade et al will carry over to the pro’s? The point is she will have made enough money off the NiL that will make a degree a little less important.

You mean she shouldn’t be pushed in that direction by anyone except us in the Boneyard, right?

6-8 weeks seem to be optimistic then. If Paige can be back this season, it's fine.

 

[Urshurak]

My .02 here. This is between Paige, her family and her Doctors. I’m confident they will make the right decision that is best for her.

 

[hoopsfan22]

I think people are focused too much on the 6-8 weeks. It's just a guess. Basically it means not any time soon, and perhaps that's what they should have said instead of trying to put a date on it. Could be 7 weeks could be 12. No one knows. I'd be shocked if someone breaks a bone in their leg, gets surgery on it, and is able to come back and play in the less than 2 months.

 

[SVCBeercats]

If you do any reading on Paige's injury no one should be surprised if surgery is required and/or if she does not play again this year.

Agreed. I did the research. And 6-8 weeks would be due to a miracle or lack of caring for Paige's long term health.

 

[eebmg]

Well, I am hoping for her sake (emotional) as well as ours she can go NCAA tournament time. especially because of the MN venue

 

[willie99]

I think she'll be back, and I think she'll be ready

If she's not ready, she won't be back

Last time I checked Rowe is not a MD let alone a Orthopedic specialist with intimate knowledge of Paige's injury.
Take her statement for what it is worth, idle speculation.

But I am guessing that she found her info on the internet, probably WebMD.

Did your research include looking at her MRI and CT scan or any follow up exams (if there were any)? Inquiring minds need to know.

you just want Paige rushed back in order to save a final 4 streak that ended in 2020. People care too much about streaks, "no back 2 back loses streak" "winning streak vs unanked teams" will never understand why any of these streaks matter.

She either used her sources here on the BY or stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.

Do you understand why people comment on things they don't feel matter?

 

[Beemer]

Would it be better for her if she red-shirted??? I don't want her to come back too soon & develop a chronic problem with that knee cap.

I don't think it matters because of the extra Covid year if she wants it. I think she's gone after next season no matter what happens.

Where exactly in my post that you replied to did I say anything about any streak(s)? I was questioning the medical knowledge of another BYer that stated their medical opinion.

 

[SallyH]

I believe number one high school recruit Brittany Hunter was forced to play on a knee injury while a freshman at Duke. She transferred to UConn, but was never the same player after that.

BTW, I also believe Brittany is currently an assistant coach for Tonya Cardosa at Temple.

I remember that also. Googling this injury is horrifying. Better to have the surgery, correct what's wrong, take the time to heal fully and come back. It seemed to be a non-contact injury which leads one (at least this one) to believe there was some underlying weakness, because who suffers a fracture running up the court?

 

[and one]

My .02 here. This is between Paige, her family and her Doctors. I’m confident they will make the right decision that is best for her.

On this thread and on others there have been numerous comments, directed at those conjecturing on when/if Paige returns, along the lines of the decision on when/if she returns lies with the doctors, coaches, Paige herself and her family. I'm not picking on you here Urshurak - your comment was just the last I saw.

Does anyone seriously think anyone on Boneyard does not want the best for Paige and that decisions about her surgery, rehab and return to play lie with the above mentioned parties? Are there trolls out there opining that she will, and perhaps should be rushed back before she is cleared and ready to go just to win a game or two? No, no one wants anything but the best for Paige. Really, we do. Oh - my take is that there is a better chance she is out for the season than of her seeing playing time within 8 weeks of surgery.

You mean Geno didn't confide in her? Giving her a scoop nobody else has?

C'mon man

As Abe Lincoln used to say; "if it's on the internet, it must be true"

 

[Dooooooomed]

You could tell how much she wanted to be out there today. Feel for her, but she needs to do whatever is best for her long-term career.

 

[HuskyNan]

Or, she’s making enough money as a college player she can stay in school and get her degree

 

[CL82]

why so many foot/lower leg injuries this year? Coincidence?

Since there was no Tournament the streak is still considered to be active.
