All-Big Ten transfer guard DeeDee Hagemann commits to Memphis women's basketball, Alex Simmons

Michigan State point guard DeeDee Hagemann has committed to Memphis women's basketball , she confirmed to The Commercial Appeal on Tuesday.

The 5-foot-7 Hagemann, who has one season of eligibility remaining, had previously committed to Ole Miss after entering the transfer portal. A second-team All-Big Ten selection last season, she led the Big Ten in assist to turnover ratio (2.84) in 2023-24. She averaged 12.3 points and 5.2 assists per game.

She'll be a significant boost for a Tigers team hoping to improve off last season's 13-17 record. Coach Alex Simmons has been busy in the transfer portal, bringing in Jackson State guard Tilly Boler, Vanderbilt forward Bailey Gilmore and Towson forward Quinzia Fulmore.

"DeeDee is a late addition to our team, but one that we are so excited to have," Simmons said in a press release. "One of our goals was to add depth at every position, and DeeDee brings high-level experience having played in the Big Ten and the NCAA Tournament."

Hagemann helped lead the Spartans to a 22-9 record last season. They fell to North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
