Smashing, darling! Smashing!
To each his own.High-scoring guard Marcus Walker of Kansas City, Mo., signed a letter of intent with NU on Tuesday, completing a five-man fall recruiting class likely to rank among the top 25 nationally.
Walker, 6-foot-2 and 165 pounds, turned down scholarship offers from Missouri, Iowa, Arkansas, Illinois, Minnesota and Purdue. He picked Nebraska over his other two finalists -- Kansas State and Duquesne -- in large part because of his academic interest.
"I want to have my own clothing line and my own business," Walker said. "I'm going to major in fashion design, and a lot of the other schools didn't have that program. It's not ultimately about basketball. This decision came down to my future."
