Kentucky it is for Samarie Walker

I've been able to confirm that former UConn forward Samarie Walker will indeed be enrolled in classes at Kentucky.

Also, since she did not play in an games in the spring semester she will be eligible to play in the spring semester of 2012 and will have 3 1/2 years of eligibility for the Wildcats.

Walker played in 17 games for UConn, averaging 6.2 points and 5.8 rebounds. She was left home when UConn played at North Carolina on Jan. 17. When the Huskies returned to practice three days later, Walker informed the UConn coaching staff that she planned to transfer.

There will be more on this situation in Sunday's edition of the Register.

FWIW, she only retains 2 1/2 years of basketball eligibility…

Freshman (10-11) – 17 games played at UConn (no ability to RS)
Sophomore (11-12) – will play Spring Semester of roughly +/- 20 games (no ability to RS)
Junior (12-13) – full season
Senior (13-14) – full season

In order to get the full 3 years she would need to sit out (RS) a FULL season next year.
