Liberty general manager Jonathan Kolb confirmed Walker, a 6-foot-1 forward, was in the bubble. Walker had tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month, so she had to self-quarantine and then test negative twice before she could make the trip to Florida.

"We're excited that she's here," Kolb said.

Tiffany is from Lakeland Florida.

I see nothing in the article about a Tiffany. But if you’re referring to Tiffany Hayes, she grew up and went to HS in Winter Haven, Fla.

Hopkins plans on engaging with Walker as often as he can from a safe social distance as she continues to carry out the league’s quarantine protocol for the next few days. When he spoke to her on Wednesday night, she didn’t sound overwhelmed or “out of sorts with anything” that she’s learned remotely.

“She sounded like she was right there with us,” he told The Next. “She's watched practices on the ones that we have recorded. We get them to her. She's gotten to watch the scrimmages. She seems to have a really good handle on what we're trying to do.”

Hopkins believes that Walker is currently as prepared as she could be amid the unprecedented circumstances that welcomed her to the W. For Walker, the process leading up to her pro debut will just be contingent upon “getting the reps and getting comfortable” with her new teammates and the coaching staff.
