Walker in the house?

According to her high school coach, UConn commit Samarie Walker is hoping to be in attendance when UConn plays at Cincinnati on Saturday.

Walker, a 6-foot-1 junior wing at Chaminade Julienne High in Dayton, Ohio, committed to UConn while on her campus visit in October. Chaminade Julienne will be playing a home game against Carroll High, also of Dayton, at 2 p.m. which would give Walker plenty of time to make the trip to Cincinnati to watch the Huskies.

I e-mailed Chaminade Julienne coach Marc Greenberg to see if Walker was considering taking in the game.

"No guarantees but she is planning on it" was the response I received back from Marc.

Chaminade-Julienne is 9-4 with one of the losses being a forfeit for failing to submit the proper paperwork regarding Nicky Disbrow who transferred from Oakwood.

I found it interesting to see the UConn connections at the top of the USA Today national high school poll.

No. 2 Mater Dei of Santa Ana, Calif. featuring dynamic sophomore Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis who made an unofficial visit to UConn over the weekend. As a matter of fact, the entire Mater Dei team sat behind the UConn bench in Saturday's game against Syracuse. ater Dei was in the area as they played a game in a tournament in Springfield, Mass.

Among the players on No. 4 Cardinal O'Hara of Springfield, Pa. is the younger sister of UConn junior forward Meghan Gardler.

Kelly Faris, the only member of UConn's next freshman class, is the leader in scoring, rebounding and steals for No. 5 Heritage Christian out of Indianapolis. As a side note, the Heritage Christian program is featured in an article in VYPE.

The younger sister of UConn sophomore guard Lorin Dixon is on the eighth-ranked Murry Bergtraum squad. The stars of No. 6 South Bend (Ind.) Washington and Dulles High of Sugar Land, Texas might sound familiar to those who follow the recruiting process as Washington guard Skylar Diggins and Dulles center Kelsey Bone were once on UConn's recruiting radar. Diggins signed with Notre Dame while Bone will wait until the late signing period to sign.
