Healthy Dexter Strickland eager for season

Posted Aug 9, 2011
Dexter Strickland’s knee situation has improved dramatically over the past few months with medicine instead of the surgical option. In fact, as the summer has gone on, he hasn’t had to take the medicine for his knee swelling anymore either. He says that he’s gotten no less that a gift from above with his improved flexibility and mobility, and is thrilled about heading into his junior season at UNC fully healthy. (Rivals.com)
