More Than You Bargain For Akisha Franklin is the kind of player to steal the ball from you on one play and smile at you as she runs down the court the next.
People probably know that the junior guard is a defensive threat.
She averaged 2.36 steals a game, ranking her second in the Big Ten last season. What people probably don't know is that she is also the team's go-to person for laughs. I'm always smiling on the court. One of the traits I have is to keep my teammates smiling. One of the few times the Elmhurst, IL, native was not smiling this season was when she had teeth removed the day of the home game against the University of Illinois.
