JUST ANNOUNCED: Kim Mulkey Just Revealed LSU Tigers women’s basketball football’s NEW Roster – FULL Details Inside!
LSU Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey has formally revealed the team’s new roster for the next season, a startling revelation that has rocked the college basketball world. Fans can get a thorough look at the newcomers and returning players who will don the purple and gold in hopes of winning another championship after the announcement was made earlier today.
The Tigers are well-positioned to continue being a dominant force in women’s basketball thanks to a combination of top recruits, seasoned veterans, and well-known transfers.
First and foremost, the Tigers return several key players from last year’s squad, which made a deep postseason run. Leading the charge is All-American forward Angel Reese, whose dominant presence in the paint and relentless energy have made her one of the most feared players in the nation. Reese, who averaged a double-double last season, will once again be the cornerstone of LSU’s offense and defense. Alongside her is dynamic guard Flau’jae Johnson, whose explosive scoring ability and lockdown defense make her an invaluable asset. Johnson’s growth over the past year has been remarkable, and expectations are sky-high for her junior campaign.
Point guard Last-Tear Poa is another returning star. Mulkey has relied heavily on his reliable ball handling and court vision. The Tigers’ offense will depend heavily on Poa’s ability to manage the tempo and distribute the ball. Aalyah Del Rosario, a forward who had glimpses of excellence during her rookie campaign, is also anticipated to make a big improvement in her sophomore year. She is a possible breakout prospect because of her size, athleticism, and developing skill
While the returning players provide a strong foundation, it’s the newcomers who have generated the most buzz. LSU’s recruiting class is nothing short of spectacular, headlined by the nation’s No. 1 overall recruit, guard Mikaylah Williams. A five-star phenom, Williams is a versatile scorer with deep range, elite ball-handling, and the ability to take over games. Her arrival instantly elevates LSU’s backcourt and gives Mulkey another lethal offensive weapon. Williams isn’t the only freshman making waves, though. Forward Janae Kent, another highly touted recruit, brings length, athleticism, and a high motor to the Tigers’ frontcourt. Her ability to defend multiple positions and finish around the rim will make her an immediate contributor.
But the roster upgrades don’t stop there. Mulkey and her staff have also been aggressive in the transfer portal, landing several impact players who are ready to compete for a national title. The biggest splash comes in the form of former Louisville guard Hailey Van Lith, who shocked the college basketball world by committing to LSU earlier this offseason. Van Lith, a proven scorer and playmaker, brings veteran leadership and clutch shot-making to Baton Rouge. Her experience in high-pressure situations, including multiple NCAA Tournament runs, will be invaluable for a team with championship aspirations.
