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? Raven Johnson tore her ACL in her second game in Nov 2021 and was playing in SCar's first game 12 months later. That is the typical recovery. Miles tore her ACL after the start of the season and from the little I read is expected to back for the start of the coming season. 12 months again. Late July will be 12 months since Bueckers tore her ACL. I would expect her back to full recovery well before the 1st day of practice. This is recent. I didn't see any bubble wrap.

I liked having the summer off when I went to college. 👍 I spent my college summers working in factories.

The last phase of recovery will be losing the fear of taking an unexpected hit to the knee. That will happen this summer after the medical pros give her a release for full activity. Thankfully the fans won't be present to suck all the air out of Werth when it happens.

Good points. 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. Pretty sure they have classes to attend. yes, but not necessarily this early. I think the "summer school" designed for incoming first years starts in early July. Maybe the upperclassmen start in a week or so....

A good friend, way back in the crazy 60s, worked in a GM plant where he and his fellow college workers soldered small cans of nuts and bolts to the bottom of Cadillac engines, so that the owners would have to look and look for the rattle.

From memory, the June session is primarily about strength and conditioning. There are also individual skill workouts with the coaches. I'm not certain but there may be some full team work with coaches but if so it is very limited.
Then there are the "pickup" games. Those are 100% run by the players and I suspect they are a bit more organized than the pickup games you see in playgrounds.

Maybe the upperclassmen start in a week or so.... I may have read that to participate in the strength/conditioning session a player had to be enrolled in school and that means taking at least one class.

But "being enrolled" doesn't necessarily mean attending classes. Colleges allow students to use the facilities (libraries, gyms, etc) so long as they're paid up/paying for the next semester, which an athletic scholarship automatically does.

But of course, we'd have to know what rules apply when a team is anticipating a European trip in August, something that's regulated and allowed only once every four years.

Olivia Miles was hurt in the last week of the regular season. If she's on the court in November, she'll be well ahead of that 12 month target. Paige and Ice will be well past 365 days. It is pretty common for Pro athletes to get back sooner, but rarely are they back to their former selves until more like a year to a year and a half. A friend of mine swears by this. He loves to pick up former star players in their second season back to playing for his fantasy football team. They're cheap, and often substantially better than expected. He says this works for pitchers coming off Tommy John surgeries in MLB, too.

He tells me that no one involved with the program, including Miles, has commented on or verified the nature of Miles' surgery. Coach Ivey's comment that they were hopeful she could be available for some summer workouts would indicate that the injury was not a ACL. That time frame would fit for a LCL or some form of meniscus surgery.

The NCAA allows teams going on froeign trips to have some practice time together with coaches prior to leaving. I don't know how much.

For example, they're allowed to practice during winter break, because they are enrolled for winter semester, even though winter classes haven't started yet.

I'm talking from memory. Not exactly a reliable source. When I was at UConn they didn't consider you enrolled until the check cleared.

Teams are allowed no more than 10 practices prior to the foreign tour

That's a lot of practices. Don't they get 30 in preseason? Those practices will end up being way more important than the exhibition games in Europe.

Summer Session 1 starts May 30th. summersession.uconn.edu/Right: thanks! But the summer sessions specifically designed for incoming freshmen start in July, and that's what I was referencing. I don't know whether our 3 new freshmen can sign up for these earlier programs or whether they start with their classmates later in the summer. firstsummer.uconn.edu/I suspect, because they're athletes, they can sign up for the current sessions, but I just don't know how UConn works it.

Way back when, 10 and more years ago, the ballers could do the early session.

From UCONN WBB Weekly:
UConn's biggest questions at the start of summer workouts
On Monday, UConn’s three incoming freshmen arrived on campus, marking the unofficial start of the team’s 2023-24 season. Summer workouts will begin shortly and soon enough, both Geno Auriemma and the players will meet with the media for the first time since the Sweet 16 loss to Ohio State in March.
While there’s no open workouts or practices during this time of year, there’s usually enough said by either Auriemma or the players to get a general idea of which way the team and/or individuals are trending.
Now that preparations are officially underway for the upcoming campaign, there’s plenty of questions surrounding the Huskies that will (hopefully) be answered by the time the team breaks for their final few months off before the semester begins.
How are the injured players recovering? ETC.
