Physical Redbird forward who brings rebounding, efficiency, and hustle
Michelle Harakas is the kind of forward coaches love: a strong, physical presence inside who rebounds hard, scores efficiently, and plays with relentless hustle. In the 2001-02 season, Illinois State notes showed she earned a bigger role by improving her production, including a 15-point game and multiple strong rebounding outings, while also providing defensive activity with blocks and steals. Her differentiators are toughness, selflessness, and a mature, team-first approach, plus enough polish to score both inside and out. If your team wants energy, grit, and low-ego production, she fits beautifully.
