Elissa Brett, who was punched in March after a Women's NIT game against Memphis, has transferred to Michigan for the 2023-24 season.
Bowling Green Falcons guard Elissa Brett, #5, left, is assisted off of the court after an altercation with Memphis Tigers guard Jamirah Shutes, not pictured, during the postgame handshake following a third round college womens basketball game of the Womens National Invitational Tournament between the Memphis Tigers and the Bowling Green Flacons on March 23, 2023 at the Stroh Center in Bowling Green, Ohio.
"Elissa is a proven winner. She is such a competitor and what is really important during the recruiting process is finding players who fit into our style. One of our core values is competitive greatness; we want players who want to compete at the highest level and who want to win at everything they do," Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico said in a news release.
"She does all of those things, and I think she is going to be a candidate for our sticker award every single day. She is an exceptional defender who takes charges and rebounds extremely well from the guard position. She can get to the basket and made more than 90 three-pointers last season, so she can really score from all over the court. She also brings a lot of experience to our team, both in the regular season and in the postseason.
