Dee Alexander, a star player out of Purcell Marian High School, has just signed with EZ Sports Group, making history as the first female athlete in the agency’s newly established Women’s Division. It’s a move that has everyone buzzing—especially as Dee prepares to kick off her collegiate basketball journey at the University of Cincinnati.

A Star is Born

Dee isn’t just any athlete; she’s a true powerhouse on the court. Having snagged the highly coveted Ohio Ms. Basketball award three times and being a two-time Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year, her resume speaks for itself. This impressive track record includes leading Purcell Marian to a historic, fourth consecutive girls’ basketball state championship, capping off her high school career in March. Can you imagine? Four state titles in a row. That’s only been accomplished by a few in Ohio high school history!

Record-Breaking Stats

During the Division III state final against Avon Lake, Dee showcased her talent by putting up a stunning 27 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and assisting with seven scores. Over her high school career, she accumulated a staggering 2,375 points, landing her the impressive title of being ranked No. 13 on the Ohio High School Athletic Association’s all-time scoring list!

Future Aspirations

Bright lights are ahead for Dee as she has also been invited to participate in the prestigious McDonald’s All-American Girls Game, where she was pivotal in leading the West squad to victory. Her performance included four points, nine rebounds, and a couple of steals, showing that she can shine on bigger stages. She’s even set to attend the Nike Hoop Summit in Portland—another testament to her rapidly growing reputation in the basketball world.

Building Her Brand

While she may not have been able to take advantage of name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities during high school, Dee is ready to make her mark since she’s officially finished with high school eligibility. She’s already been active in building her brand through hosting a youth basketball camp and maintaining an engaging social media presence—talk about initiative!

The Road Ahead

Basketball aficionados will be watching closely as Dee transitions to her collegiate career, where her coach, Jamar Mosley, has labeled her as the highest recruit in UC history. With a fierce determination and natural ability, expectations are soaring for her performance at the university level. Having verbally committed nearly a year ago, the anticipation was palpable as the signing event unfolded in front of the iconic Oscar Robertson statue at Fifth Third Arena.

A Measured Approach

Balancing academics and athletics, Dee also improved her academic performance during her senior year, thanks in part to the encouragement from her supportive teacher, who recognized Dee’s talent both in and out of the classroom. This speaks volumes about the type of person and player she is—dedicated, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about basketball.

Future Prospects

Dee’s recruitment process was no small feat, as she received over 40 scholarship offers, ultimately narrowing her list to 15 promising programs. These include heavyweights like Tennessee, USC, and Ohio State; but in the end, she chose to stay local at Cincinnati. This decision has generated quite a buzz, especially as fans look forward to seeing her play close to home.

What Lies Ahead

As Dee gears up for her collegiate debut, her stellar stats from high school—averaging 18.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game—fuel dreams of even greater accomplishments. With the right guidance and continued effort, the basketball world might just be watching a future superstar in the making. Let the games begin!
