Robyn Fralick has landed another player to the Michigan State basketball program who she had recruited to play at Bowling Green.

Dearborn Divine Child senior guard Kennedy Blair announced her plans to join Fralick with the Spartans on Instagram on Wednesday.

The 5-foot-9 Blair became the second player originally signed to play at Bowling Green who has decided to play at MSU. Mary Meng also switched from BGSU to MSU.

Blair was a Miss Basketball finalist and averaged 25.0 points, 9.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 4.0 steals and 2.0 blocks for Divine Child, which went 17-7. She was voted the Associated Press Division 2 player of the year and finished third in the Miss Basketball voting.

Blair is the fourth player landed by Fralick for next season since being hired as MSU's coach in March. MSU formally announced the additions of Meng and transfers Lauren Ross (Western Michigan) and Jocelyn Tate (Bowling Green) on Saturday.

The addition of Blair comes a few days after sophomore forward Lauren Walker announced her medical retirement due to arterial thoracic outlet syndrome. Walker missed all of last season due to the injury.
