AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn women’s basketball added one of the nation’s top point guard prospects as four-star guard C’India “CeCe” Dennis signed with the Tigers and will join the program for the 2027-28 season.

“We’re so excited about adding CeCe Dennis to our team,” said head coach Larry Vickers. “She’s such a tremendous point guard, leader and floor general. She’s the type of player that people want to play with. It’s not just her ability to shoot. The type of person she is, she’s going to fit great in with our program.”

A 5-foot-6 guard from Fairburn, Georgia, Dennis attends Creekside High School and is ranked among the top prospects in the country. She is rated as the No. 17 overall player nationally, the No. 2 point guard and the top-ranked prospect in Georgia by 247Sports. Dennis is also ranked No. 31 nationally in the Rivals Industry Ranking and No. 54 by ESPN.

“Auburn felt like home,” said Dennis. “I wanted a place I could develop both on and off the court. Educationally, I want to be a software engineer. Auburn is one of the top engineering schools in the country which was a big pull. Just having that connection, feeling like home, (Auburn) felt very special.”

A dynamic playmaker with an ability to score at all three levels, Dennis has established herself as one of the nation's premier backcourt prospects. Known for her perimeter shooting, court vision and ability to create off the dribble, she helped lead her team to an Overtime Select championship.

Dennis returns to the court for her senior season after a knee injury sidelined her after the first two games of the 2025-26 campaign. Before the season-ending injury, she scored 73 points across her first two contests, including a 43-point performance against Sandy Creek.

Throughout her career at Creekside, Dennis has averaged 23.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 4.1 steals per game. She has surpassed 1,400 career points while shooting 50 percent from the field.

Dennis chose Auburn over a final group that included Georgia, Clemson, Tennessee and Florida State.
