One day after 2019 Michigan Miss Basketball Rickea Jackson officially transferred to the University of Tennessee, 2020 Michigan Miss Basketball and Gabby Elliott found a new home, too.
Elliott, like Jackson a Detroit Edison alum, announced her commitment to Michigan State on Friday, after playing parts of two season at Clemson.
Elliott posted the news on Twitter, under the headline, "I'M BACK" with a Spartan-green heart. Replying to the post was Michigan State's DeeDee Hagemann, 2021 Michigan Miss Basketball and another Detroit Edison alum, who wrote, "The duo is back" with four flame emojis.
Elliott is a huge pickup for Michigan State, which is losing star guard Nia Clouden, who started every game for four years at Michigan State — she never even missed one practice, coach Suzy Merchant calling her the Cal Ripken of the program — before deciding against returning for the available fifth "COVID" season and, instead, opting to enter the WNBA Draft, which is April 11.
