She may be cleared to start the season, but I doubt she has been able to participate fully in strength and conditioning during the offseason. She can't match the intensive weight work the healthy players are doing.

We saw this with Brianna Turner two years ago after shoulder surgery. It was February before she had the strength and stamina to play like her sophomore self. In Samuelson's case, leg S&C is likely to be curtailed as she rehabs her foot.

high school........I believe she came back from surgery last year and played well without full training........the hope is that she will be ready to go by the season opener.......the real question is whether she can log 35 plus minutes per game without a recurrence.....if not UConn will be in trouble
