Mike Anthony has a piece out that touches on this and her turn around. Last year I was impressed with how she handled herself through that trying campaign and I'm equally impressed with how she owned it and has dug in to make her dream a reality. It is reflected in Mike's column.

I didn’t want to be the same coming back. I feel like it’s a learning experience. Toward the end of last year, I started to figure it out and key in on what I needed to do. … It’s an everyday grind in college basketball — UConn basketball, I should say. It’s at another level. [ A level different than every other program.]I was a little shocked.” [ ]ed stuff she said and he missed. “I knew it would be hard,” said Walker, a sophomore who averaged 5.8 points last season. “I knew it would be tough. I just took a bigger blow than anybody else. We stuck it out. I’m not going anywhere.” Love her mature attitude. [/QUOTE]
