Someone give that poor woman a telescope! It's a long way down to SR's level from AA's height.

I've read or heard a bunch of speculation about Aquino... let's see, so far knee/leg injury VISA issues academic issues/high school classes/eligibility --- sounds ruled out mono heart issues/problems (the latest rumor) One of these is true. I’ll give you a hint. It’s not #2. She’s a MasterCard girl. |

Being allowed to practice, but not allowed in contact drills would lead you to pick #4.... regardless, it sounds like it's not too serious. |

I hope she is okay! I think we could use her services at this point in time. I was so excited to see her on the court this season and I hope we do. I also hope this condition is not long term. A few things listed would make sense.

A few things listed would make sense. Weird it is "medical" but she can practice and warm up. May be that she can not exert herself with whatever the condition is??? Excited to see her play as long as she's 100% with NO/ZERO chance to have any negative physical consequences. |

She apparently didn't make the Vancouver trip (wasn't in the group video on Instagram that was the answer to my question: "Did the whole team make the trip to Vancouver?"). I would think she would go if she is allowed. What rules or issues would keep a scholarship player from going? I don't think it would affect her redshirt as long as she doesn't play. Or would OSU just not allow it to save the $?

When I was at Oregon State, we had a 7'2" guy from Argentina, Fernando Borcel, that never got into a game. When I saw the photos of Aquino, I thought of Borcel. I'm a mostly retired civil engineer with no medical knowledge so take it for what it's worth.

I was thinking that (even if she has a medical issue) they might want her to go just to experience the road trip routine, continue practicing with the team (to the extent she can), and to support them from the bench. I suppose there could be medical issues that could require her to stay home (e.g. treatments of some sort). I usually love a good mystery... but this one is just irritating. |

As of 2 November, Aquino rumored to be a medical red-shirt. Can't say how valid. A post two days later appears to contradict that. Seen here. |

Seems like they may be worried about her eligibility. Can't have her playing with, against, or traveling with the team if she's not eligible. She seems like a nice person who has had kind of a rough life and I hope whatever the problem is works out for her.

Well, you might not go to Vancouver if you are redshirting - note DS didn't travel with the team last year either.
You might be redshirting because you are waiting to hear back from the NCAA (think Roberto Nelson). Being at a sketch high school for 3 years that was better known for its starring role in an expose on recruiting practices resembling human trafficking would open the possibility to academics not being quite in order. I think it basically took Roberto a season to get things squared away with the NCAA. and I think he just took an online course that the NCAA took exception to after the fact.
There was the young lady from Nigeria? at the same high school as AA that signed with Vandy the year prior and was unable to play - and I would assume Vandy would have the resources to deal with legalities.....this was the whole reason AA transferred to Ribet, in order to get to a "real" HS that the NCAA recognized.
I have colleagues in my fortune 50 company who for visa reasons are afraid to leave the country for fear they might not be able to get back in, based on the stage their visa application is at with the INS.
She has been seen only sporadically in team videos relating to practice. She does warm up with the team however. Last game, she had a sleeve on one leg....
So, any or all medical possibilities are still open as well.
I think I will just sit tight and wait for some sort of official word. It's an intriguing situation, but one that involves a talented young lady and perhaps issues that for legal or decency reasons cannot be discussed by SR. To me, the most encouraging aspect of all of this is that she isn't moping, she is smiling and engaged and appears to be an integral part of the team.
In the meantime, I will wish her and the rest of the Beavers well.
Go Beavers!

Geez, you guys with all the NCAA and Visa speculation.
ASSUMING we can believe the only direct news we've heard that this is:
- a medical issue
- she can do warm ups
- she can be involved in practices EXCEPT for "contact" drills
- they are hoping she's medically cleared to play later this season
This practically SCREAMS mono to me.
Even after you are feeling OK, there are still concerns with any "contact" due to internal organ stuff.
Let's not go off the rails here coming up with conspiracies.
