Missouri women's basketball has landed Cecilie Brandimore as its first commitment for the class of 2026, per her social media.
I would like to give all glory and praise to God for the amazing opportunities, experiences, people, and coaches that he has blessed me with during my recruiting process. Thank you to the coaching staff for believing in me, and GO TIGERS! pic.twitter.com/K80sPrJyzv

In 2024-2025, Brandimore averaged 26.5 points, 13.1 rebounds and 3 blocks per game at Franklin High School, earning First Team All-District honors, and a Tennessean Player of the Week honors four times. Entering her senior season, she's totaled 1,190 career points and 704 rebounds.
Brandimore stands at 6-foot-4 inches – which would tie Jordana Reisma for the tallest Tiger on the roster – and will provide sizeable frontcourt depth once she arrives to the Tigers. Brandimore is a Tennessee native, signifying Missouri head coach Kellie Harper may have initially found her through scouting in her Tennesse stint – where she coached five seasons before joining the Tigers.
Harper originally offered Brandimore a spot on the roster on May 27. She chose to commit to Missouri over other offers including Minnesota, Belmont and Navy.
Brandimore plays for the Kentucky Premiere in the 17U EYBL circuit, and was a three-sport athlete at Franklin High school, playing basketball, volleyball and flag football. She'll provide speed and athleticism in the frontcourt that Harper has emphasized her players having, focusing on positional size and transition ability.
