She suffered a ruptured achilles during FIBA World Cup play while representing her country, Egypt. UConn has to be the only team with worse luck with injuries than Vandy. I was really looking forward to seeing Jana play. She's something special. Stands 6'4, strong, mobile and handles the ball like a guard, but she can go inside and bang with bigs. Considered by most the top international prospect for this season. She enrolled at UConn last January to get a head start on her academics, but she did not play any games. She practiced and traveled with the team and preserved all her eligibility. I'm sure she'll recover from this and still have the opportunity to become the superstar many think she could be.
