veteran Michigan guard with local roots and steady shot-making
Janelle Cooper is a 5-foot-9 senior guard from Detroit who gives Michigan an experienced, hometown backcourt presence and a steady offensive option. Her differentiators are maturity, shot creation, and proven scoring pop: in the 2005-06 season she led Michigan with 287 points, and in the 2006-07 season she averaged 25.8 minutes while contributing across the board. She also captained the Wolverines in 2007-08, which speaks to trust, toughness, and leadership. If you want a composed guard who knows the program and can bring reliable energy, she fits the bill.
