five-star Bearcats guard with star upside, but still working back from an ankle injury
In the 2025-26 season, Dee Alexander showed real polish for Cincinnati in limited action, averaging 4.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 13.6 minutes over 17 games while shooting 51.8% from the field; she missed the first 12 non-conference games recovering from an ankle injury.[1][2] Her appeal is obvious: a 6-foot-2 guard, she was the highest-ranked recruit in program history and the Big 12 Preseason Freshman of the Year, with two-way versatility and size that can stress smaller backcourts.[1][2][7] If a team wants a high-upside, local star who can grow into a primary creator, she’s the kind of player worth betting on—just with patience while her health and rhythm catch up.[1][9]
