Remember Jackie Gemelos?...

There was also some people working on getting Tina Kyah Vaughn and Appel to UConn giving them the biggest front line in WCBB. It mustve been a tuff year for Geno.

Jackie Gemelos - sounds like a "Oldies But Goodies" station.

Five ACL tears in six years. Just looked it up.

This occurred in the early infancy of ACL surgery and rehab. They really did not know what they were doing. It was a given at that time, that if you even suffered on ACL you would never fully recover your former quickness and agility. Exclusive of the surgery not being what it is today, even more, so they also knew very little about proper rehab. That was the reason why she had so many reoccurring ACL tears and surgeries.

Today they know far more about with respect to surgery and proper rehab and recovery from an ACL is a given. That Gemelos was even able to reach the level that she did under the circumstances was a tribute to her perseverance and starting ability. She has not had another ACL tear since her triple redshirt Junior year in college. Had they known then what they knew now her future would have been entirely different.
