D1 Women's Soccer Transfers

They found that she has had a torn meniscus that she was playing on for at least a year and possibly since early her senior year of high school. I'm impressed with how well she played considering she was playing with a bum wheel and still played over 2k minutes! She should be 100% by the end of May beginning of June.

Hey MAP... I had my knee cleaned up a few years ago, partially torn meniscus. The surgery went well and I was walking that week... but. Talk to your DDs surgeon about post op and a compression sleeve.

Don't let them tell you that your daughter is a healthy athlete so not to worry. Because I'm fit is probably one of the reasons my surgeon didn't pay much attention to me on my follow up when I told him my calf hurt. He told me to stretch it and that I would be fine. Needless to say I wasn't. I had a Blood Clot that eventually started to break up leading to six clots in my lungs. A week in the hospital and a year on blood thinners (including shots in the gut) with lots of prayers and I'm back to normal.

Best of luck to your DD on the surgery..

Holy smokes...can't believe your DD was playing on it torn for over a year! She's one tough cookie! Glad to hear she will be able to rehab and good to go for May/June!!! Best wishes to her for a healthy recovery!

The journey of a thousand miles for her has already started. She is tough and in great hands. She is excited that we actually have a course of action now. All this season her knee hurt but nothing showed up on any of the MRI's. She probably was at 80-85% all season so she is excited to get back to 100%. She has some unfinished business to take care of. She told me to go ahead and book my tickets to North Carolina. I'm hoping that she gets back in time for me to go to France.

Thanks for the kind words and I will let her know of your well wishes.
 
Just messing with you map, I hope she heals fast. I didn't get a chance to see her last year and am looking forward to making a game this year. I am gonna bring my 5 just in case.

Thank you. She is in good hands and has already started rehab. They have one thing on their minds this year and it isn't those cute runner up trophies that they each got....

I know a certain 12 year old who might be begging for a ride in your suitcase to France!

Hey MAP, so My d just had a pretty hard knock In a collision with an immovable object (keeper actually) that caused a meniscus radial tear and extrusion, the root was severed on the posterior and the meniscus just 1/2 squeezed out of the joint.

The surgeon reattached it, says it is going to heal % but not much talk of when she can, as he puts it 'make mad cuts' again. I'm guessing your d had a nip done and you had a great surgeon. I'm curious what they told her in terms of time off the pitch and when they said she's good to go at % with no worrys.

Her's was unique in that the meniscus split from the joint. It was only a matter of stitching it back. They also cleared out some scar tissue. She was told that she would be 100% by June. She has already started rehab and she is non weight bearing for 2 weeks and it will gradually ratchet up. She should be back kicking the ball around by late March early April. The doctor basically said the time table will adjust based on how she responds but June is the amount of time it would typically take for her situation according to him. Her main concern is her fitness due to the limited amount of substitutions at her position.

I hope that helps. Good luck to your player.

Not a fan of the transfer market. Quick fixes vs long term success. To each his own I guess.

I agree @Swoosh. Quick fixes are shortsighted and only really help temporarily. You end up constantly having to be in the transfer market. I guess that it works so Colorado and $C are doing what they feel they need to do. My guess is he knows that Stanford and UCLA are the top two teams in all the land by a wide margin this upcoming year and he knows that he needs some mercenaries if he isn't going to get run off the field. You already know that you guys are losing 6 starters when Stanford and UCLA only lose 2 each and they have top talented chomping at the bit to take over.

3rd best in the PAC 12 isn't so bad. I would be more worried about the kickball that they play. It's not going to beat the top 2 and leaves you open to losing to the Baylor's of the world. Good luck this year I am looking forward to 3 straight against them.

I agree KM transferring in Aleah Hyatt who is a solid player with YNT experience, started a few games at UNC and will only be a sophomore next year. Natalie Jacobs was arguably Notre Dame’s best player and another YNT player. The 2 can only help USC and not hurt them.
 
I will add that Florida State is the opposite of $C. They have 3+ players transfer out every year. Mark K is a gangsta and basically if you aren't seen as a contributor your freshman year you are gone. He does give most of his freshman an opportunity to start but if it doesn't work out you are in the doghouse. The player that was the national freshman of the year in 2015 Megan Connolly barely played last year as a junior!

How can you possibly be “short sided” when you are transferring in a player the has 3 years of eligibility and another with 2 who was the best player on the team? They still won’t be good enough to compete with UCLA or Stanford but that is just a stupid statement

Let's see. Shortsighted in how do you think the players who committed as freshman/sophomores/juniors in high school feel when they make a verbal agreement to go to a school based partially upon where they see themselves fitting in to a team that is organically built only to have mercenaries come in every year that may push them down the depth chart? Not to mention how the players that are already there feel when the coach basically says what we have isn't good enough to compete. Do you not understand how that would affect future recruiting? $C is already a secondary destination in their primary recruiting area and a 4th or 5th option in their primary recruiting state. Acquiring a reputation for constantly bringing in transfers will have its repercussions. It worked in 2016 because they had a lot of talent left over from Ali K's recruiting classes and there were no dominant teams. That isn't the case anymore and long term a better investment would be in recruiting players to play a style of play that is going to attract the top players. Instead he chooses to commit too much money to too few players and has to transfer in "patches." Whether it is for 2 or 3 years it is shortsighted. Also Yu was the best player on Notre Dame's team.

Keep reaching for straws @surfrider so I can keep smacking you down.

That’s ironic, because USC won a College Cup a year ago with transfers. Did you forget about Andrews, Pruitt, and Anthony?

How can you forget Andrews, Pruitt, and Anthony? They led USC to glory. Multiple NCAA championships look good in any trophy case, it shows you're not a fluke and are always a threat.

Transfers are a quick fix. They don't do anything for continuity of the program in any way other than winning if the stars align.
