Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2718601, member: 6620"] Taylor Rooks is doing a graduate year at Michigan. According to the Michigan release, Rooks, a 6-foot guard, spent the last three seasons at Harvard after her freshman season at Stanford. As a senior this past winter, Rooks earned second-team All-Ivy honors after averaging 12.5 points and 7.3 rebounds in 29.5 minutes per game." She seems to have found her footing this year, with a number of double-doubles and 20-pt. outings. She had been a highly rated recruit out of NJ's Gill St. Bernard's a few years back and things didn't work out for her at Stanford. Coach Kim Barnes Arrico -- who had recruited her initially -- could be looking at Rooks as part of a stop-gap solution between the graduation of Katelyn Flaherty and incoming Michelle Sidor in 2019. Interesting that all three are Jersey girls, but Arico spent a lot of time in NJ, even living there when she was coaching St. John's. Probably was familiar with all three before she left to take the coaching job in Ann Arbor. Interestingly, Sidor's final two choices came down to Harvard and Michigan, ultimately choosing the latter.
