"His ankle injury never got to where it was 100 percent, and he continued to try to play on it and try to work on it, and it just nagged him a little bit -- not enough to keep him out -- but it just wasn't getting better," Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said Tuesday. "Further diagnosis decided that he probably needed to go in and get a spur that was floating around in there out. He had surgery on Friday and it was successful." The surgery should have no affect on Brockman's senior season, and the Snohomish High School grad is expected to be running again in about four weeks. "Jon already feels much better because he doesn't have that pain any more," Romar said. "He's going to be fine. We got it out of the way. We're excited. Jon's got a chance to be an All-American next year, and we've got a chance to be a very good basketball team ... . He'll be ready to go." Other injury updates: Artem Wallace is recovering well from offseason surgery to repair a torn ACL he suffered in Washington's College Basketball Invitational loss to Valparaiso. "Artem is walking without a limp," Romar said. "He's been doing a good job in the weight room. He's been hitting the bike hard. He's been making very good progress." Joe Wolfinger, who has been plagued by a foot injury while at Washington, is taking a bit of time off from offseason workouts to rest his foot, but is expected to be OK for next season, Romar said. One too many: Another interesting subject that came during Tuesday's teleconference with Romar was Washington's scholarship situation for next season. If all of last year's team -- minus seniors Ryan Appleby and Tim Morris -- return as expected, the new class of four freshmen would give the Huskies 14 scholarship players, one over the limit. "When we start school, we'll have 13 on scholarship," Romar said, though he would not go into detail as to how that will be accomplished. "We won't have a problem with being one over the scholarship limit." Romar has offered more scholarships than he has had available in the past, and it has always worked out with players either leaving early for the NBA draft, transferring, or in the case of freshmen, not clearing academic hurdles to become eligible. @1. a BODY STYLES:Contact Herald Writer John Boyle at jboyle@heraldnet.com.
