[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] took LSU from a middling SEC program to the top of the sport in just two years.
Much of that success can be owed to LSU’s recruitment of the transfer portal. The national title team was headlined by transfers like [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag].
At media days on Thursday, Mulkey was asked how LSU separates itself from the rest in that department.
“The portal’s changed everybody,” Mulkey said, “It’s something that you have to embrace, just like NIL’s changed everybody.”
Mulkey credits her staff, saying the assistants do most of the work in the portal.
“It’s not me. I’m maybe a deal closer…but at the end of the day if you don’t have a good staff that just really, really understands and works at recruiting, they’re not gonna knock your door down to come play for you,” Mulkey said.
LSU lays claim to the top-ranked transfer haul again this year. With the additions of [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] and [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag], the Tigers added the nation’s top two transfers.
“We’ve done a lot of good recruiting quickly,” Mulkey said.
