Towering No. 1 Twin Recruits Shock Hoops World by Committing to LSU Women’s Basketball – 8.5-Foot-Tall Super 5-Star Sisters Choose Tigers Over Georgia and Florida in Unprecedented Dual Signing That Instantly Reshapes the Future of the Program and Sends Fans and Scouts Into a Frenzy of Excitement
In a jaw-dropping turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the world of women’s basketball, LSU has landed an unprecedented recruiting coup: the commitment of the No. 1-ranked twin recruits in the nation — both standing a surreal 8.5 feet tall. The towering sisters, dubbed the “Sky Sisters” by fans and media, have officially committed to the LSU Tigers, choosing the reigning SEC powerhouse over elite offers from Georgia, Florida, and virtually every top program in the country.
The announcement came via a viral livestream that instantly trended on social media, with the twins unveiling purple-and-gold LSU jerseys in front of a roaring crowd. Despite their freakish height grabbing immediate attention, scouts and analysts say it’s their skill, athleticism, and basketball IQ that truly set them apart.
“These aren’t just tall players — they’re generational athletes,” said ESPN recruiting analyst Darryl Mays. “They can shoot from deep, run the floor like wings, and their court vision is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. At 8.5 feet tall, you’d expect them to just camp under the basket — but these twins play like oversized point guards.”
The twins, originally from Tacoma, Washington, have dominated every level of play, posting eye-popping stats throughout their high school careers. Between them, they average a combined 48 points, 36 rebounds, and 12 blocks per game. Coaches have described their chemistry as “telepathic,” and their presence on the court has turned games into spectacles. With multiple dunk highlights, buzzer-beaters, and triple-doubles already under their belts, the twins have become a sensation far beyond just basketball circles.
Their decision to join LSU is being hailed as a major win for Head Coach Kim Mulkey, who is building a dynasty in Baton Rouge. “They’re special,” Mulkey said in a press release following the commitment. “They bring a level of athleticism, size, and personality that we’ve never seen before in this sport. They’re game-changers — not just for LSU, but for women’s basketball as a whole.”
LSU fans are already buzzing with anticipation. Social media erupted with hashtags like #SkySisters and #GeauxGiants, while ticket interest for the 2026 season has reportedly spiked overnight. Merchandise sales featuring their silhouettes are already in development, and rumors are swirling about endorsement deals that could make them the most marketable athletes in women’s college sports history.
For the twins, their decision came down to culture, coaching, and championship potential. “We want to make history, and LSU felt like home,” one of the sisters said during the livestream. “We don’t just want to play the game — we want to elevate it.”
With their commitment, the Sky Sisters aren’t just changing the course of LSU’s program — they’re reshaping the narrative around what’s possible in women’s basketball. From court dominance to cultural impact, their arrival marks the dawn of a new era. And if their high school careers were any indication, the rest of the NCAA better look up — way up.
