WACO, Texas - As we move through the 2006-07 season, here's your chance to learn more about the new Lady Bear basketball players.
If you had one million dollars, where would it go? I would probably give half of it to my family, some to a charity, and then save some for myself, go shopping or something like that.
If you could be any animal, what would it be, and why? I would be a bird of some sort because I'd like to be able to fly.
What is your biggest pet peeve? I have a lot of them. I don't like when people walk slow because I walk fast. I'm from N.Y. and we walk faster.
What has been your most difficult adjustment at Baylor, in Texas? Time management! And the heat, I'm not used to that, but I'm getting used to it so when I go home, I won't be used to the cold anymore.
If you had a supernatural power, what would it be and why? I'd want to be able to read people's minds because I like to know what people are thinking.
What is the biggest difference in high school basketball and college basketball? The physicality of the game; it's a different level than in high school.
What is the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you thus far here at Baylor? One time we were in practice, going over a play, and I don't know what happened, but it was my turn, and I just fell in mid air, on the floor, just I fell on myself.
Who did you imitate as a child and why? I imitated my dad.
Who would you cast to play you in a movie? Jessika Bradley because we're so much alike.
Life would perfect if...There was world peace.
If basketball wasn't an option, I'd be...Probably somewhere at a community college in N.Y. trying to be a lawyer.
I feel most comfortable when wearing...Basketball clothes or sweats
If you could go on any reality television show, what would it be and why? I'd go on Real World/Road Rules: The Duel because it's very competitive and I like the different things they do.
What is your dream car and why? A Nissan Armada; I know it's not a real extravagant car, but I like it and I like big cars.
What is one talent you don't have that you wish you had? I wish I could dunk.
What do you miss most about home? I miss my family and friends.
Have you picked up any Texas phrases yet, a Texas twang? Fixin' to go somewhere, y'all and plaiting.
What Texas phrases were hard to figure out what they meant? One day, Haylee (Abbe) and I were talking and she said the boy was going to "chunk" the ball in the air, and that means throwing, but in New York we say "chucking," and it took me a minute to figure that one out.
What is the biggest adjustment to college life? Time management because you have to study a lot more than in high school.
How are you handling your independence? Have you surprised yourself? I'm doing well, I have a lot of brothers and sister and I've always been an independent person, so I'm not surprised
If you could trade places with anyone in the world for one day, who would it be and why? I'd trade places with Michael Jordan, back when he played for the Bulls, as number 23, not number 45. I just think it'd be cool to be him back then, and play like him.
What is your motivation? My family and friends, to just make them proud.
What is your ultimate goal and why? My goal is to get a degree and get a good job, and do well in basketball.
What do you like most about Baylor (non-basketball)? The atmosphere, the Christian atmosphere is really cool. I went to a Catholic high school and I just like the Christian atmosphere, I like it a lot.
What's your favorite book and why? Number the Stars by Lois Lowry. I read it a long time ago, but I like it because it was just really good book about the Holocaust.
What is your strength? Weakness? Strength: I talk a lot, and just being funny and goofy. My weakness: I tend to care a too much about stupid things.
What is your favorite Baylor sport, other than basketball? Volleyball.
What is your dream job? To be an interior designer
