It's hard to fill shoes, especially to fill the shoes of Lindsay Whalen, one of the better guards in the history of the Big Ten. But Emily Fox has put four solid years in and has proven that she us up for the task. Fox, a Colorado native, had big expectations coming out of high school with all eyes on her in just her freshman year. Fox, who was once known to be shy, has really embrased her leadership role and according to fellow Minnesota guard Brittany McCoy, "Her enthusiasm for the game impacts everyone on the team. When you see her shooting every day, it inspires everyone else to go above and beyond. We feel like something's missing if she's not there." In the summer of 2007, Fox was chosen to take part in the Pan Am games and play for the USA. Among those chosen, were some elite prospects who have already begun their WNBA careers. Emily Fox is having a solid season and her Gopher team is as well. She is a strong prospect at the guard position and definitely someone who will be fighting for a roster spot. And if you're scared of her game on the court, see what she does off the court. Fox's game can be summed up in one word...fast.
