Kalana Greene watched her second game from behind the Huskies bench Monday. Afterward she met with the media for the first time since she had her season ended by tears to the anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in her right knee Dec. 17.
Kalana was in great spirits, just as her teammates have been saying for days. She needs crutches to get around. But she has already begun the rehabilitation process in earnest. She is facing six to nine months of rehab. The plan is that she will be running and cutting by May and that she should be 100 percent by September or sooner.
One topic in particular that was discussed was the possibility of her pursuing a fifth year of eligibility. Kalana would not say for sure whether or not she will return for the 2009-10 season.
“That’s a long way from now,’’ she said. “I’m just thinking about getting healthy. That’s the first thing I’m thinking about. I’m not trying to make any decisions now while I’m hurt. I want to get to 100 percent and I want to get through next season and then make the call. I would love to get this year back, but I’ve got to make the call later on down the road. It’s too much to think about right now.’’
Happy New Year to all and thanks for taking the time to read this blog.
