The Michigan women's basketball team has secured the services of a highly-rated recruit, CeCe Arico, who is the daughter of the team's head coach, Kim Barnes-Arico. The 5-foot-11 shooting guard, hailed as the No. 2 player in Michigan and the No. 6 guard in the nation, is a five-star recruit and the No. 33 overall player in the class of 2027.
CeCe's sister, Emma, plays lacrosse for the Wolverines, while her brother, Trevor, serves as a student manager for the men's basketball team. Kim Barnes-Arico, the winningest coach in Michigan women's basketball history with 312 wins across 14 seasons, has led the team to 13 different 20-win seasons, including a record 28-win campaign last year that led them to the Elite Eight.
As the 2026-27 season gets underway with a game against UConn on November 5 at Crisler Center, following U-M's 72-69 loss to UConn last season, the team aims to build on its successful run under Kim Barnes-Arico's leadership.
