Show Notes

Danielle Rauch played basketball at the University of Michigan from 2018-2022 and is now the Graduate Assistant for the Clemson University Women's Basketball team. She talks about growing up in Syracuse, New York, in an athletic family, how she got into basketball, and her outstanding career at Bishop Ludden High School where she became the all-time leading scorer and once had a quadruple-double. Danielle discusses the recruiting process, why she chose Michigan, and being apart of a great recruiting class that would ultimately be the most successful class in the history of the program. She describes being a backup point guard behind a teammate in her class, playing in the very competitive Big Ten, playing for Head Coach Kim Barnes Arico, and having the 2020 season cancelled due to COVID-19. Then, Danielle details the 2021 season, becoming the starting point guard during the NCAA Tournament and helping lead Michigan to a Sweet 16 appearance, and starting every game her senior year in 2022. She chats about what a successful season 2022 was, the chemistry the team had, making it to the Elite 8, the press conference that went viral, and why she chose to not use an extra year of eligibility. Finally, she talks about her new position as the Graduate Assistant for Clemson, her duties, and her future career in coaching.
