I think she transferred to Purdue, then transferred to Southern Indiana in 2003-2004. Then not sure where she is?

PLUS: COLLEGE BASKETBALL; UConn's Johnson Is Not Coming Back (Published 2001)

Connecticut guard Kennitra Johnson will not return for her junior season (S)

Connecticut Coach Geno Auriemma confirmed reports this week that guard Kennitra Johnson would not return for her junior season.

Johnson, a 5-foot-7-inch guard out of New Albany, Ind., has been in and out of Auriemma's doghouse. He said he had not spoken with her since mid-June, but knew she was not coming back to UConn.

Johnson was benched at the start of her sophomore season for not meeting certain off-season physical and academic goals. She then stepped up her production and worked herself into the rotation, starting three games after injuries to Svetlana Abrosimova and Ashley Battle. Johnson averaged 5.7 points and 1.9 assists in 17.9 minutes.

KJ was working at Beach and Mold Inc. as a production reporter within the past year (and still could be). She played for two seasons at Southern Indiana, but injuries limited her playing time as a junior and she only appeared in three games as a senior. She likely would have stayed at UConn, but as was made clear in the book "The Same River Twice," she wasn't cutting it academically.

Thanks for the update.

I recently watched her on YouTube in the Indiana high school championships. A real talent...

But I have ask: to which The Same River Twice are you referring?

A Geno book.

The Same River Twice by John Walters.

If you haven't read it and you're interested in the 2000-01 team even in the slightest, I'd recommend it.

Man, what could've been......

She was sooooo good. Her ability to break a press by herself was beautiful.

I always loved her hustle! Glad she's doing well and that she's still reppin' that husky gear! Always a husky in my book!!!
