Woodbridge Township, NJ/Colonia wing Taylor Derkack commits to UMass WBB today
https://youtube.com/watch?v=MgBEJ2Vz95o

6'4" but listed as a SG, Derkack led her HS team in basically every major stat last season
Held offers from St John's, DePaul, St Joe's, Fordham, Richmond and numerous others
COLONIA, NJ -- Taylor Derkack, a junior forward at Colonia High School, was recently named to the Greater Middlesex Conference's All-GMC Girls Basketball Team.
Derkack averaged 21.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 4.0 steals and 2.3 blocks in helping lead the Patriots to the GMC Tournament championship game.
I don't know the level of competition, but I do like the stats. If she's a legit 6'4, that a really good get for Mike.

^ This post says she's 5'11. That's quite a difference. We'll keep checking to see if we get a tiebreaker.

I am still not able to get on the Athletic site. Can someone send me the schedule for the women's team to see if they are coming down to Davidson this year so I can make plans.
