Despite your absence you know as much as anyone else outside the program. Fudd it seems had been cleared by the medical staff and it was up to her alone whether she played or not. I'm just guessing but I'd say that Bueckers would be playing about 30 seconds after she gets medically cleared. I'm not excluding her from playing against Tenn. That would be almost at 8 weeks and the estimated recovery was 6-8 weeks. Everyone wants her 100%. If 100% comes earlier than then so much the better.
@UConn82 ... just to add to
@Alydar 's info... What we know is limited to what we have been able to observe from watching broadcasts of games and just observing Paige. There has been NO official update from UCONN... except for a few responses by Geno during pressers.
We do know:
1. Paige had Xray (or some other scan of the damaged area) a few weeks ago. We were told if the results showed proper healing that she would be off crutches. She IS OFF Crutches and has been since that test.
2. Paige has been doing PT. There was at least one video clip of Paige doing some heal slides. And...during a presser, Geno was asked about Paige and he said she is in Therapy and doing well. Nothing further.
3. Paige has been on court during warm ups as evidence through some videos, and at practice. She has been engaged and involved with the Team as they practice and prep for each game. She is active in Team huddles before and during games, sharing her insights on things that could help the team and encouraging them. She has also been putting up shots during warm-ups.
4. Paige continues to wear a brace on her left knee from about mid-thigh to mid-calf. However, she has been very active on the bench during games, and even showed pretty impressive "ups" when Caroline made the game winning shot vs DePaul. She got up high enough that it prompted a thread about it, hoping she doesn't reinjure herself, and suggesting that CD put a seat belt on her.
I believe this is "what we know"... and that she is itching to get back out there!!!
GO HUSKIES.
