Michigan women's basketball guard Brooke Quarles Daniels had an excellent journey in her four years of college basketball.
The 5-foot-7 guard from Macomb, Mich. played two years at Oakland, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 ****** ists and 2.2 steals per game while named to the All-Horizon League Second Team twice, as Freshman of the Year in 2023. Then, she transferred to the Wolverines, representing her home state for two seasons that took her from a defensive sparkplug off the bench to a senior veteran leader, standout defender on a national scale and an Elite Eight starter.
Quarles Daniels was second in the Big Ten with 2.4 steals per game in conference play, averaging 5.1 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.9 ****** ists and 2.1 steals per game alongside a 1.7 ****** ist-to-turnover ratio in her final season for Michigan.
"Brooke, she's one of the hardest workers on the team, and she's given us literally everything she could possibly give to our team," junior guard Olivia Olson said March 30 following the Elite Eight loss. "With defense and just pressing all the time and just being a leader for our team, like she's really given everything. So it kind of just was like that, 'This is how you're going to go out. You're going to go out doing the same thing as you always have.' "
But now, thanks to an Aug. 18 ruling, Quarles Daniels isn't necessarily going out just yet. As part of a California lawsuit to gain extra eligibility, Quarles Daniels was among a group of Class of 2022 athletes who, via court ruling, were allowed to enter the transfer portal, entering the portal that same day, and committing to South Carolina on Aug. 28.
