How do summer workouts actually "work"? No coaches, I assume. But someone must be in charge. Who? How many hours per day do they go? Are the male practice players involved? Any sense of what the drills are like? Will Paige and ICe be involved?

On TOB someone said this: "Paige is only playing in official games this season..........no preseason, season or post season practices (pre game layups drills only)"

I find this impossible to believe. Of course not. It wasn't a serious comment. But there are a lot of 80 yr olds that want to put these athletes in bubble wrap for the rest of their careers.

I swear if she goes down in another summer pick up game/scrimmage I will hold my breath 'til ... well, for a long, long time.

Yes, I should have included the emoticons, which were enough to show it was a joke. But seriously folks, when can we expect to see her back? In time for the European games?

My guess is we will hear Paige is back practicing when it happens. I would think before the European trip, but what I think and what actually happens are usually wildly different.

Whenever Paige is fully cleared medically, she will begin practicing. She's had two unrelated injuries and there's no reason to believe that either will happen again regardless of circumstance.
Having said that, and completely contradictorily and totally irrationally, I'd rather see her at the 3 than the point, because I think when it all adds up, there is a bit less pressure on the 3 than on the point. But again that's totally irrational on my part.
Once cleared, she will want to & needs to play a lot of ball.

What a strange situation we are in. Last year we lost almost everyone to injuries at one point and we are now knowing that Lou was very badly hurt and played through it. Now we are watching to see who comes back and when and in what shape. It's another wild ride ahead.

Any sense of what the drills are like? Will Paige and ICe be involved? IIRC: They can/do have regular "official" conditioning and workout sessions with A. Hudy. The coaches are very limited until the fall practices start, and do not even watch most of the "pick up" games/workouts. Players will organize themselves for play and separate shooting sessions with each other or alone with a JUGS machine.

Though this one's kinda cute, too. Q looks like an old soul, and Jana's not impressed: she's seen Coach in action. Click to enlarge

I am kind of surprised to see Jana. I thought maybe the international players wouldn’t be there for summer workouts.

I don’t know. You know how in the nfl they have voluntary training camps? Are these the same sort of concept?

IDK, but even if they are, why would they distinguish between domestic and international players? This is from June 2022. I count 4 international players here (Ines doesn't come until late August, after Paige's injury) http://instagram.com/p/CfWt8jNlOM4

I am just thinking that the spring semester just ended. This was a really short break. Especially if you are flying halfway around the world to get home.
I am not trying to question her commitment or anything. I really wasn’t sure if Nika, Ines, or Jana would be at the camp.

Of course, they'd be keeping fit wherever they were, so it's not a lot in Storrs to do differently. I'm guessing an hour or so of weight training and then an hour or two of uncoached (if you don't count Bossypants Paige) playing. The rest of the time, why, there's no nicer place on earth in late May and June than New England.

I liked having the summer off when I went to college. 👍
