On the run: Henry Brooks' rehabs torn ACL

Likely the main question for Penn basketball going into the 2011-12 season is what kind of depth there will be in the frontcourt. This hinges largely on the recovery of highly-touted recruit Henry Brooks.

The Atlanta native tore his ACL during the state playoffs in March. The injury may have been a blessing in disguise for Penn — Brooks was drawing interest from the likes of Tennessee, Minnesota, Mississippi State and Connecticut before the injury. Most of those backed off after the ACL tear, but Penn stuck with the forward and Brooks chose the Quakers.

Today the incoming freshman tweeted that he ran in physical therapy for the first time since the March 5th injury, a promising sign that he may be ready by the time tip-off rolls around.

ACL recoveries last anywhere from 4-6 months. Penn opens the season in about three and a half months.
