Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m trying to limit my food, just lose as much weight as I can right now. Just a couple pounds. Watch what I eat, and keep working hard with Lyn (team trainer Nakagawa) in rehab.

“I’m still doing fine. I’m getting better every day. I’m just not trying to force anything, and let it heal perfect.”

On when the injury happened Tuesday afternoon:
“It was really painful … not knowing how bad it was until the next morning, Wednesday morning. We got the results Wednesday afternoon.”

Your feelings on the diagnosis?
“I was kind of relieved. It could be worse. I’m happy I’m only out for four to six weeks, instead of being out for the whole season. That would be really bad for me and also for the team.”

Bobby Curran (808) 296-1420, talks about one of his sponsors the VASPER Systems (808) 679-1268 (Sebastian) which helps the body boost its own Generation of HGH, may help more rapid healing, with few/no negative side effects…

Maybe Brian can check this with Coach Gib and DOBO (Director of Basketball Operations and Certified Trainer) Chris McMillan ….

Vander on Vasper, sounds like a Potential Win-Win for Both ….

Vander, Work hard (as usual) and Good Luck on a Rapid, Solid Recovery

MCL tears, athletes can still play. Depend if Vander really can rehab that knee to close to 100%, will probably be a chronic thing during the year. He has to ice down, make sure proper brace for knee and right shoes. Exercise bike on the sidelines, during timeouts, and halftime. Reminds me of when, waaay back in the day Willis Reed came out for few minutes to inspire NY Knicks to go on to beat Lakers for NBA title in the early seventies.

Vander, rehab well.
Say Brian, would you know what is the name of that treatment that Bobby Curran always talks about. He swears by it. It rebuilds tissue and molecular structure of body, body heals self..no drugs..I forgot what is called, wonder if Gib and UH MBB doctors and trainers could try that treatment with Vander, maybe speed recovery time?

Billy Ray Stutzmann, miraculous recovovery, broken hand 18 days ago, now cleared to play full contact football, so maybe hope for speedy recovery for Vander!! Hope the best..main thing wasn’t ACL tear, if so, Vander would be pau!!
