ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The University of Michigan women's basketball program has added Courtney Ogden as a graduate transfer, J. Ira and Nicki Harris Head Women's Basketball Coach Kim Barnes Arico announced on Wednesday (April 15). She will have one season of eligibility with the Wolverines.
"Courtney is a player that I recruited from her days in high school and with FBC, her AAU program," Barnes Arico said. "She's a phenomenal basketball player, a phenomenal student and a phenomenal person from an unbelievable family. I have watched her continue to develop, get better and improve. She has a chance to make an immediate impact on our program. She's got a chance to be a pro and a draft pick next year. We are excited about her versatility and all the different things she can do on the basketball court. I think she adds to our team that already has a ton of versatility, gives us another piece and some more depth that we certainly will need."
Ogden, a 6-1 guard/forward from Atlanta, spent the first three seasons of her career at Stanford. This past season, she averaged 12.9 points per game on 51.3 percent shooting and 4.3 rebounds in 30.8 minutes per game.

She helped Stanford to the 2024 Pac-12 Championship during her first season, earning Pac-12 All-Freshman honorable mention from the coaches.
