Kentucky Confirms Samarie Walker Transfer
Former University of Connecticut forward Samarie Walker (pronounced suh-MAHR-ee) has transferred to play at Kentucky, Wildcats head coach Matthew Mitchell announced Monday.
Per NCAA transfer rules, the 6-foot-1 Walker will be permitted to practice but will not be able to participate in games or travel with the team. She will be eligible for games following the fall semester of the 2011-12 season.
"I am very happy that Samarie has joined the Kentucky program," Mitchell said. "She is a fine young woman who I got to know well while recruiting her during her high school career. Samarie is a talented player who will have an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact at Kentucky on and off the basketball court."

Hopefully she will help continue the Wildcats' ascension toward the top of the SEC in women's basketball
Right now in women’s college basketball, the only team we hear is UConn, UConn, UConn, Tennessee, Stanford, Duke, and then UConn again another 100 times.
When Kentucky made the Elite Eight last year, I thought it was John Wall and his crew because that was expected. But then I saw that it was the women’s basketball team and I was surprised.
