Janee Thompson is nearing 100 percent, ready to step into leadership role
Thompson suffered an injury in January that ended her season, but after rehabbing from a broken leg she now carries the expectations of Mitchell and the rest of the staff to be a leader. Thompson is able to practice now with some limitations, and is expected to be at full strength for her senior year with the season approaching.
“She’s been a very productive player at Kentucky. She knows the program. She knows what we’re trying to accomplish,” Mitchell said.
