In a significant development in women’s college basketball recruiting, the nation’s top-ranked high school player has committed to Louisiana State University (LSU), choosing the Tigers over prominent programs such as Kentucky, Louisville, and Alabama. This decision underscores LSU’s growing prominence in women’s basketball under the leadership of Coach Kim Mulkey.
The commitment adds to LSU’s impressive recruiting efforts in recent years. In November 2024, the Tigers secured the No. 1 ranked women’s basketball recruiting class, featuring four five-star recruits: Divine Bourrage, Bella Hines, ZaKiyah Johnson, and Grace Knox. These players were highly ranked across various recruiting platforms, with Bourrage and Johnson placing in the top 15 nationally.
The recent commitment is expected to bolster LSU’s roster, providing depth and talent that could impact both the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and national competitions. As the Tigers continue to attract top-tier talent, their presence in the national spotlight is poised to grow, reflecting the program’s upward trajectory and competitive aspirations.
