So there's that.
I'm not quite sure how many of Garrick McGee's past players are being referenced here, but there's a 100% chance that none of them had consecutive ACL injuries to the same knee. Mikey Dudek's work ethic isn't in question here (he was reportedly going through upper body workouts in the weight room before his procedure), but physical rehab on this scale is an entirely different animal. Everything could go flawlessly according to plan, and it'd still have doubts about him coming back before 2017 Spring ball.
Dudek's right knee was repaired during a successful surgery in Florida on Tuesday; there's no timetable for his return to the field.
