EAST LANSING, Mich. – Michigan State women's basketball head coach Suzy Merchant announced the signing of two National Letters of Intent on Thursday, including Jordan Wood (Chicago, Illinois/Carmel Catholic High School) and Bree Robinson (Mississauga, Ontario/ Webb School).
Wood is a 6-4 forward, who is a native of Chicago, Illinois. She attends Carmel Catholic High School and is coached by Ben Berg. Wood is currently ranked No. 62 in the ESPNW HoopGurlz Recruiting Rankings. As a junior, she scored 1,000 points, as well as leading the Corsairs to a Class 3A Illinois State Championship.

She is a three-time All-East Suburban Catholic Conference and All-Area honoree, as well as capturing First-Team All-State accolades. Wood played AAU for Midwest Elite, competing on the EYBL Nike National circuit for coach Ralph Gesuado.
"Jordan's versatility and length will make a difference on both sides of the ball for us. She brings face up scoring and a strong passing skill set in the front court position," Merchant said. "Her mobility defensively will continue to allow us to extend the court. She has the ability on offense to really run the floor in our transition game which will make an immediate impact. We are excited to add Jordan to our Spartan family."
She is the daughter of Tereca Wood.
Robinson is a 5-8 guard, who is a native of Mississauga, Ontario, plays for head coach Matthew Shewmake at the Webb School (Tenn.). She helped lead the Webb school to a Tennessee State Championship, earning First-Team All-District 3 honors in the process.

She played for Become One, competing on the GUAA Under Armour circuit for coach Handel Kipp. Robinson also captured a Tennessee State Championship in track & field in the 400m.
"Bree brings a toughness and work ethic that exudes what being a Spartan is all about," Merchant said. "She is a gritty defender, playmaker, and a leader. Her international experience coupled with her nationally competitive high school team has prepared and challenged her for the next level. We are thrilled to have Bree join the Spartan Nation."
She is the daughter of Richard and Christine Robinson. Both of her parents were athletes at York University.
