Both 8.5-foot-tall, No. 1 Twins super 5-star players committed to the LSU women’s basketball team over the Georgia and Florida Gators.
In an unprecedented move that has sent shockwaves through the world of college basketball, the LSU women’s basketball team has secured the commitment of twin sisters who stand a staggering **8.5 feet tall**—making them not only the tallest players in NCAA history but also the most highly sought-after recruits in recent memory. The twins, whose names have not yet been formally disclosed, chose LSU over powerful programs like the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida Gators, instantly converting the Tigers into Team.
The recruitment battle for these two generational talents was fierce. Coaches from across the country flocked to watch them dominate high school competition, where they averaged a combined **70 points, 30 rebounds, and 15 blocks per game**. Their sheer size and athleticism made them nearly unstoppable, with scouts comparing their potential impact to that of Shaquille O’Neal in his prime—except there are **two** of them, and they play for the same team.
LSU head coach Kim Mulkey, already a renowned figure in women’s basketball, pulled off what many are calling the greatest recruiting coup of all time. Sources close to the program disclose that Mulkey’s pitch revolved around **immediate playing time, a championship-ready squad, and a structure designed to optimize the twins’ unique physical advantages**. The fact that LSU is the defending national champion—and now adds two players who can **dunk without jumping**—makes them the overwhelming favorite.
The twins’ decision to spurn Georgia and Florida was a massive blow to both programs. Georgia had hoped that their strong frontcourt development would attract the sisters, while Florida believed their fast-paced offense would be the perfect fit. However, in the end, LSU’s combination of **elite coaching, a winning culture, and a fan base that treats women’s basketball like a religion** proved too much to overcome.
Social media erupted as word of their commitment leaked. Fans and commentators alike are already wondering about how opposition teams will even attempt to defend them. Standing at **8’5”, the twins can comfortably shoot above defenders, grab rebounds at the rim without dispute, and block shots simply by raising their arms**. Some have quipped that the only way to stop them is to **double-team each of them simultaneously**, leaving the rest of LSU’s star-studded roster wide
The impact of this signing goes beyond just basketball. LSU’s ticket sales are expected to skyrocket, with fans eager to witness history in the making. Merchandise featuring the twins’ names and numbers will fly off shelves, and television networks are already preparing for record ratings whenever the Tigers play. The NCAA may even need to **adjust rim height** just to keep the games competitive.
Opposing coaches are scrambling to adjust their strategies. Some have suggested playing a **zone defense** to clog the paint, but with the twins’ ability to shoot from mid-range and pass out of double teams, that may not be enough. Others have floated the idea of **intentional fouling**, but given their reported **80% free-throw shooting**, that strategy could backfire spectacularly.
As the season approaches, all eyes will be on Baton Rouge. The era of the **8.5-foot twin towers** has begun, and the rest of the NCAA can only watch in awe—and fear.
