695:  Mississippi is far and a lot different from Baltimore. How do you plan to get acclimated to such a big change?

695:  You declined offers from all of the local schools...did it get scary for a while before you settled on Ole Miss?

Amber: Yes! It was the most nerve wracking thing ever! I took a big risk and luckily it worked out for me.

695:  What did you see at the school that closed the deal for you?

Amber: The head coach (Coach Ladner) and the way the academic advisor walked through things for me.

695:  You got pretty emotional at the signing...what was going through your mind?
