Rosen on Jacobs …

“We are extremely excited to add Allison to the program in 2022.  We recruited her out of high school, so we have known her for quite a while. She is a great fit as a six-rotation outside who brings strong ball-control skills as well as a terminal attacking game. Her experience at UCLA will allow her to come in ready to compete in the Big Ten Conference and help Michigan compete at the highest level.”
