Nothing new to report on Samarie Walker

With Geno Auriemma cancelling practice on Tuesday as a reward for how well the Huskies played on Monday at North Carolina and there being no practice scheduled for today, look for an update one way or the other tomorrow regarding the status of freshman forward Samarie Walker.

Walker was left behind when the Huskies headed to North Carolina even though the university said she did not violate any team rules and did have any academic issues. This is not the first time that a young post player has irked Auriemma (Charde Houston, Kaili McLaren and Willnett Crockett come to mind) and since both Walker on her twitter account and Auriemma in Monday's post-game comments both had variations of the message that "lesson learned" I would not be least bit surprised to see Walker back at practice tomorrow.

I am not minimizing what 18 year old Samarie Walker is going thru. But please keep it in perspective. Think of what the 18-22 year old soldiers in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. deal with every day and what they have to deal with the rest of their lives.
