OT: Paige

[Inyatkin]

His comment is a long-running joke.
He has a peerless sense of humor.
Just ask him.

If people can get called out for making a carwash joke five years later, he can get called out for this.

No doubt! Calling out @Deepster is all part of it; just be happy he's not posting Hartford shot spotters (and this would be the time for that...)

Call away.

He has me on Ignore for doing so. It's pretty easy to spot when he's posted, and weigh in like this.

Exactly.

Deepster dutifully (compulsively?) played his role, even in a thread among & for this particular community. In doing so, he provided a poor-taste, meme-like response to the sad news about a truly great UConn athlete.

He wears his "Kick me" sign proudly, and thinks he's getting the better of everybody, but he's the one who's boxed in.

There's no need for anybody else to join him. Ignore him, expose him, treat him like a bully & punch him in the nose, or have some fun by poking fun at him.

To his credit, he recently paid solid tribute to Bill Russell.

Terrible for her. The only piece of advice I'll offer, is don't think that by working harder you'll get back sooner. Follow the normal time and normal process, and focus on leg strength, then on agility. Very often athletes, even a year out from ACL reconstruction, have measurable quad deficiencies in bulk, twitch quickness, reaction time ... and this is particularly true with female athletes, who do not (on average) have the same starting quad to hamstring strength ratios as the guys. Also, as depressing as this is, there's a roughly 30% risk of either re-tearing this ACL or tearing the ACL in the other knee for female athletes at this age and level of sport.

Take your time, be absolutely sure the knee is ready, and both legs are strong. Then come back.

Stay strong Paige, you best days are still to come

Please move this to the womens board.

It has an OT designation, it’s immensely important to UConn athletics as a whole. It’s more news worthy in a spots forum than “ what tv should I buy”. Maybe we can send you to the new cess pool, but they don’t like you there either. Just sayin.

Wait. Are you suggesting Paige blew out her ACL running away from someone trying to rob her at gunpoint in Hartford?

Meh, slavish adherence to tradition (particularly in the name of Mojo) is a part of what makes The Boneyard,The Boneyard. I don’t know that it needs much more analysis than that.

Not much of a follower of the womens team although ill tune in for a big game or a final four but i absolutely hate seeing this for with what she already had to deal with. I wish her nothing but the best.

One of the awful realities of women's hoops/sports, they destroy their knees constantly.

Awful news.

Is this true? Is there a reason why female athletes damage their knees more frequently than men?

There seems to be a lot of different reasons from structure- women having wider hips placing more weight directly onto their knees, to weaker ligaments, women relying more on their quads than hamstrings, even having a different gait and landing more straight legged than men...

Why ACL injuries more common in female athletes such as Bueckers

Female athletes are two to eight times more likely to suffer an ACL injury. UConn star Paige Bueckers is the latest notable female athlete to suffer the injury.

The Santa Monica ACL Injury Prevention Project (PEP)​

If you have a daughter playing sports this training regimen is an excellent one to follow. Also, the majority of female ACL injuries happen within the 10 day window of the menstrual cycle. Now, no athlete is going to want to take 10 days off a month but as the article above mentions taking precautions during this time frame is the prudent thing to do.
