Rachel Sheffer Article

Mick McCabe has an article in the Detroit Free Press about Rachel Sheffer, a 2009 prospect Michigan is recruiting:

"We really didn't get to practice for Bangor," said Watervliet coach Jim Winter. "We spent a half-hour watching tape and said: 'OK, here we go.' "

And there went Rachel Sheffer.

Sheffer, 6-foot-1 junior, recorded her second triple-double of the week to lead the Panthers to a 46-39 win. .

After 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds Monday, Sheffer scored 14 points, grabbed 17 boards and blocked a school-record 14 shots Thursday.

"Those stats are all real," insisted Winter. "She had a great game."

Sheffer has had a terrific season, topping 1,000 points for her career in Wednesday's 36-10 victory over Eau Claire when she had eight points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks.

"Rachel's line is as good as you'll see," Winter said. "She was all over the place blocking shots. We hadn't given up 40 points this season, and Rachel's been Rachel."

Rumor has it she committed last night. Heard anything on that?

I saw that in the umgoblue.com forum - great news. So far I haven't been able to find any confirmation, but if I do I'll post it.
