IMO we have MISSED Toomey since she enrolled. Short on production from whatever reasons for her three years when consideration of the discussed potential coming from HS. I know there were injuries. Unfortunately for sanity of fans, never been much out there re how and if those injuries have hampered her game. Expectations, sucketh. I expected a somewhat dominance from he game. Not yet, but maybe eventually? She is a good player. I just expected more; maybe all-conference 1st team? She could still step it up. Wish her the best, she could be our most important player.
Does anyone know what the her injury is for this season? It makes you wonder how she seems to get hurt right before the season starts. I agree totally with nicheel comments about Toomey.

C Toomey was injured and red shirted her freshman season. She played as a 4F her first year playing as a Tar Heel. I think her lack of lateral quickness on defense influenced her move to 5C last season her 3rd year academically and her 2nd year of playing basketball at UNC.

Ciera is now 6'5" and hopefully will become a great 5 who can play low post well and also step out and score from the arc.

We are all pulling for her to have a breakout season.
She started here recovering from a hs knee injury and a knee surgery. Talk here was generally that she would find recovery and be back soon here. No, not really. She is now in her 4th year here. Carolina and staff have IMO never been forthcoming re Toomey, expectations, and less than great productions. I only remember that the yooha on the commitment was very high. More internet over-hype???? I just find it frustrating that Toomey is starting her 4th year and seems fans have never got the straight scoop. Nothing wrong w failure. Not even failure here. Nothing wrong w acknowledging injury caused under achievement. In this game serious knee injuries happen all the time. We lost McPherson (spell?) and everyone was finally forced to recognize after a world of pie in the sky “she will return”. Not. Lack of injury info changes none of realities. I appreciate all the work of our ATHLETES. Less of the less info politics. Need to know truths?

I just want to know why is she hurt at the beginning of this season. When we watch the the first week of workouts everything appeared to be fine with her. It is kind of strange that every year with the exception of last year, she is always hurt before the season starts.

after recovering from knee injury that occurred in her Jr year of HS, she had a major electric scooter accident on campus in the preseason of her freshman year. I believe it was a wrist fracture and another leg injury IRCC, but it has been a while.

Student injuries are private due to federal law, unless they choose to make it public themselves.

Just bad luck with injuries it seems. Ciera was a 6'4 outside wing coming into college. She is according to CB in her second year of working
primarily as a low post big. She lacked quickness to guard other non low post players. My hope is she has a breakout season as a 6'5 low post player. (CT grew an inch in college). We need her in good health and good form.

Hi tarboy, it seems like we have been having bad luck for awhile. Toni Key, Mo Wiggins, and Kyla McPherson came in hurt their freshman year along with Paulina Paris getting hurt her sophomore year. That was the year that DK had to play the point because all of our point guards sustain injuries that season. Even Murray, our assistant coach starting getting hurt and she eventually call it quits her senior year. The question is, can we get a break at some point?
