Megan Walker was rattled by the honking horns and the excited shouts, even in a language she didnt understand.Her first instinct was that she and her teammates were blocking traffic during their seven-minute walk from a restaurant in Astana, Kazakhstan, to the nearby basketball venue, where they would soon be competing.But Walker and her teammates -- decked out in their USA gear -- werent jamming anyone up.The people of Kazakhstan just wanted to say hello.We were like celebrities over there, said Walker, an undeclared 6-foot-1 wing at Monacan (Richmond, Virginia) and the No. 1 prospect in the espnW HoopGurlz Super 60 for the 2017 class. People stopped us at the mall -- everywhere. We took thousands of photos.Walker said the overseas greeting felt surreal. But then again, Walker, who has narrowed her possible college destinations to Connecticut, Notre Dame, Texas and Virginia, has experienced a lot of memorable moments this spring and summer.Wonder how the prospect who has coaches clamoring and fans praying has spent the past few months? Heres a look at her global highlights, as well as a nod to the decision about her future home that shell make in the coming weeks.Feb. 5: North Chesterfield, VirginiaIn a half-court ceremony before a game against reigning state champion Cosby (Midlothian, Virginia), Walker was given a basketball as a memento for scoring 1,000 career points.She then seemingly tried to get her next thousand all in one night, settling for a school-record 50 points. Monacan won that game 87-73 as Walker made 18 of 27 shots, including going 3-of-4 on 3-pointers. She converted 11 of 15 foul shots and added seven rebounds and five steals.I just had a feeling early on that this was going to be a good game, Walker said after breaking former Virginia Cavalier Tiffany Bowers mark of 46 points. I scored right off the opening tip.And then some.March 8: North Chesterfield, VirginiaWalker, who averaged 21.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 1.9 assists as a junior, was named Virginias Gatorade Player of the Year.She also was named a second-team All-American by MaxPreps, the only non-senior on the first or second teams.In addition, she repeated as Virginias Class 4A Player of the Year.March 9: Richmond, VirginiaWalker, in her third season at Monacan, led her school to its second straight state title.

Her team set the state record for most points in a final, beating the previous mark by seven points.Monacan coach Larry Starr, whose team finished 29-1, said Walker was just as impressive mentally as she was physically during her junior year.She came back with a new level of maturity, Starr said. We made her captain, and the team followed her like the pied piper.May 1: Colorado Springs, ColoradoAlong with teammates Jaelyn Brown (Cal), Sidney Cooks (undeclared) and Amber Ramirez (TCU), Walker won the USA Basketball 3x3 U18 national tournament in Colorado Springs, leading her team to a 7-0 record. Walker was named the tournaments MVP and also won a gold medal in the skills competition.In 3x3 ball, free throws and field goals are worth one point while shots beyond the arc are worth two. Games are up to 21 points or 10 minutes, whichever comes first. Also, the games are played outdoors, subject to the elements.Theres more space on the floor, she said. You get to show how you can score the ball.May 30: Colorado Springs, ColoradoAfter three days of trials back in Colorado, Walker was selected for USAs U18 team, this time in standard five-on-five, indoor basketball. Of the 12 players selected for the team, seven represented the 2016 recruiting class and five, including Walker, were from the 2017 class.June 1-5: Astana, KazakhstanWalker had to bolt from Colorado to get to Kazakhstan for the 3x3 world championships.Out of 20 teams entered, the U.S. went 5-2 and finished second, losing 21-12 in the final to France. Walker made the three-player world championships all-tournament team, finishing tied for second in scoring.I guess you could say [the silver medal is] satisfying, but it just makes us want to come back next year and work hard to get that gold, Walker said. And now we have experience under our belts so well be even better.In a 19-15 semifinal win over the Czech Republic, Walker had 14 points, including the final six to win the game. She finished with 44 points in seven games.Megan is special, said Jill Schneider, who directed the American team and coaches high school ball at Monterey (Lubbock, Texas).Shes very mature for her age. Shes so good already, yet she is very responsive and open to growth, on the court and off. Shes going to be a great one.June 24-July 1: Sao Paulo, BrazilAfter a brief stay back on American soil, Walker traveled to South America with her Boo Williams AAU team.Walker said Brazil was her favorite country among the three she visited this year, even though the three years of high school Spanish she has taken couldnt completely help her communicate with the Portuguese speakers she met.July 2: Colorado Springs, ColoradoIf you need a tour of the United States Olympic Training Center, Walker is your girl.

Walker averaged 9.6 points and 2.8 rebounds and started all five games. She played the most minutes of anyone on Team USA, averaging 20.6 minutes per game.You dont see a lot of players of her caliber who are that selfless, Harvard-bound Jeannie Boehm said of her teammate. Shes the type of player who changes an entire game.Evina Westbrook, a 6-0 guard for South Salem (Oregon) and the No. 2 prospect in the 2017 class, said Walker became her close friend during their time together in Colorado and Chile.What surprised me was how much were alike, said Westbrook, who has also yet to make a decision on where shell play college ball. From the moment we stepped on the court in practice, we pushed each other.I couldnt just do what I wanted when she guarded me because she was going to come at me 100 percent every time. To me, that meant everything.July 27-30: North Augusta, South CarolinaAfter returning from Chile, Walker played in one more major event to culminate her summer. Her Boo Williams team went 5-2 and made the semifinals at the Nike Nationals.Four countries, three continents, one summer. Some 30,000 miles. Whew.Next?A deep breath. Perhaps. But not for long -- theres that whole choosing-a-college thing still on her to-do list.Walker said she will take the one-hour car trip to the Virginia campus sometime late this month. Shell then visit the University of Texas from Sept. 2-5, leaving the Longhorns campus one day before she starts her senior year at Monacan.After that, Walker will tour Connecticut on Sept. 15-18 and Notre Dame on Sept. 23-25 before making what promises to be an incredibly difficult choice.Walker, though, said she cant wait.Im looking forward to it, she said.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- After losing back-to-back home games to Western Michigan and to Illinois State to begin the 2016 season, Northwestern knew it would be pressed to qualify for a bowl game.But including Saturdays 45-17 victory at Purdue, the Wildcats (5-5, 4-3 Big Ten) are within one victory of bowl eligibility, having carved their path by posting a 3-1 record in conference road games.In addition to Purdue, they also have won at Iowa and at Michigan State.Clayton Thorson passed for a career-best 352 yards and three touchdowns, and Northwestern scored 31 second-half points on its way to an easy victory at Purdue (3-7, 1-6), which has lost five in a row by an average margin of 21.2 points.Thorson, who also ran for a touchdown, completed 23 of 36 passes, including five for 92 yards and two touchdowns to wide receiver Austin Carr, who tied the school single-season record with 12 TD receptions.Every time we came out in the second half, we were just licking our chops to get another good drive going, Carr said. We were clicking on all cylinders. And of course, a bowl is a huge motivator. We viewed these last three games as a three-game playoff.Austin Jackson rushed 22 times for 127 yards and a touchdown, and John Moten IV had 16 carries for 119 yards, marking the first time since Sept. 14, 2013 against Western Michigan that two Northwestern backs rushed for more than 100 yards in the same game.The receivers were getting open, but the offensive line was playing really well, Thorson said. There were only one or two times that I was rushed to even make a throw.Thorsons third touchdown pass -- a 42-yarder to Garrett Dickerson on the first play after an interception by linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. -- gave Northwestern a 28-10 lead with 11:13 remaining in the third quarter. The Wildcats steadily pulled away.Finishing with 605 yards of offense, Northwestern outscored Purdue 31-7 during the final 30 minutes.We didnt start the way we wanted, obviously, but you need to credit Purdue for that, Wildcats coach Pat Fitzgerald said. We kneew we would get a fast start from them.dddddddddddd We talked about the first series of the second half being really important. Obviously, depth is important, especially when you see a couple of their defensive starters out.Northwestern spotted Purdue a 10-0, first-quarter lead, then scored the opening halfs final 14 points to lead 14-10 through 30 minutes. Purdue lost its fifth in a row.The Wildcats extended their lead to 21-10 on Justin Jacksons 14-yard touchdown run, capping a seven-play, 71-yard drive.We certainly are not happy with the second half result, Purdue interim coach Gerad Parker said. This isnt what the Purdue football program should be about, especially in our home stadium.Purdue quarterback David Blough completed 21 of 36 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown, but he was intercepted three times, setting up 17 Northwestern points.I simply missed my spot on the first interception, Blough said. Thats the frustrating part, and they capitalized. It hurts. All three of my turnovers led to points. We have not executed well, and it seems to happen at the same point in games. We have been in positions to have success in the second half, and we have not done it.TAKEAWAYS:Northwestern: Needing two victories in their final three games to become bowl eligible, the Wildcats scored touchdowns on each of their first four second-half drives and pulled away from the struggling Boilermakers. Northwestern gained 557 yards during the first three quarters.Purdue: Playing without their two best defenders -- Jake Replogle (concussion) and JaWhaun Bentley (leg) -- the Boilermakers defense was no match for Northwesterns balanced offense and fell to 0-15 in November games during the four most recent seasons.UP NEXT:Northwestern: The Wildcats travel to Minnesota on Nov. 19 for their final Big Ten road game.Purdue: The Boilermakers will play host to No. 7 Wisconsin on Nov. 19 in their final Big Ten home game.
