Quote:DEKALB, Ill.-- Northern Illinois University's Stephanie Raymond is considered a top prospect at the point guard position in the upcoming 2007 WNBA Draft according to several WNBA player personnel departments.
"I've always thought Stephanie was one of the top point guards in the country. It's nice to see her get the recognition she deserves," head coach Carol Owens said. "She's talented enough to be in the league. She's the type of point guard teams are looking for."
Raymond is one of six prospects featured on the scouting page of the WNBA's website, http://www.wnba.com/features/mcghee_scou...70315.html She is the only player listed on the website from the Mid-American Conference.

White Tournament at Northwestern. She posted 30-point games against Bradley, Kansas and Toledo and earned MAC Player of the Week honors three times in 2006-07.
