Out 6-8 weeks.

ESPN story just makes it sound like she was moving up the floor and fell to the floor

Nope
That happened on the jab step she made. Close to hypertension

Agreed. Every year we hear how Lindsay's recruiting classes are better and better. Next year's is top 10 in the country. Yet it never seems to translate into wins. Recruiting is only half the equation. You need to coach them up.

Very few great players make great coaches. It's usually the people that had to scratch and claw just to make the bottom of a roster (if that) that end up as the best coaches.

Lindsay is different.

I'm saying she's a hard worker. She became one of the greatest players of all-time because of hard work. She lacked natural talent.

Bullshit.

Whalen is an incredibly gifted athlete. She's very strong, very fast, unbelievably coordinated. Fantastic start/stop and lateral agility. And that's just the physical abilities. She also possesses mental abilities that are just as much an innate talent as being able to run fast or jump high. Court vision, anticipation, split second decision making, etc.

And no great player became a great player without a ton of hard work.

Great talent + hard work = great player.

Great talent + not putting in the work = washout.

Less talent + hard work = fringe player at best.

Could be an issue with academics.

Minnesota native Destinee Oberg transfers to Gophers from Arkansas
Oberg was rated among the nation's top recruits when she picked Arkansas out of high school, and now she's coming back to Minnesota.

Maybe she isn't as good as her HS press clippings led people to believe.

Paige Bueckers tore her ACL in a pick-up basketball game on Monday, per UConn. She will miss the 2022-23 season.

Her role will "enhance the quality and efficiency of day-to-day operations, and is responsible for assisting with practice, game preparation, statistical analysis."
