The LSU women’s basketball is in the midst of an NCAA Tournament run as it looks to defend its national title, but coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] has already set her sights on building a competitive roster next season.
On Monday, the Tigers landed a commitment in the transfer portal from Arkansas swing guard [autotag]Jersey Wolfenbarger[/autotag]. The 6-foot-5 junior from Fort Smith, Arkansas, is a former McDonald’s All-American and five-star recruit who ranked No. 7 nationally coming out of high school.
Wolfenbarger appeared in 65 games with 26 starts, but she left the Razorbacks program before the 2023-24 season and formally entered the transfer portal last week.
