������ inside michigan athletics about the country, but I���d really like to immerse myself in the culture down there. I want to assimilate a little bit of their identity.��� Favorite Pro Athlete: ���Carmelita Jeter, the U.S. track and field Olympian. I have always loved track. I really admire track athletes, because they put so much into it. It���s a team sport, but there is so much individual drive, and it shows how tough the mind game be, how one person can do something great. And I think she has done that.��� Other Sports She Enjoys Playing: ���I like running track, and that is pretty much it. I���m not really into sports outside of basketball and track.��� Major: ���Art and design. AfricanAmerican art is really interesting to me right now. I don���t do to much of it right now, but I am trying to get involved in it.��� What She Wants To Do After Basketball: ���I want to be an artist, and I want to give back to young kids. I will sacrifice whatever to help them.��� Most Memorable Athletic Moment: ���When we beat Michigan State [Feb. 16], for the first time in my career. That was an amazing experience.��� Her Overall U-M Experience: ���It has been awesome. I couldn���t have gone anywhere else and lived this basketball dream. When I was a little kid, I used to think about playing college basketball, and now that is real. And it���s at Michigan, where so many great athletes have come before me. It���s been incredible.��� ��� Andy Reid By The Numbers 12 Michigan���s preseason football rank for 2013, according to ESPN, up from No. 23, after taking into account National Signing Day results. 17 Top-20 national recruits that have signed with the Wolverines since top-100 lists were first published in 1997, including five-star Derrick Green, who ranks as the top running back (No. 1 in the nation according to Rivals.com) to ever ink with the Maize and Blue. 37 Top-10 matchups Michigan basketball has played in program history, including three this year (versus Indiana, Ohio State and Michigan State).
