[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] made it a habit of adding talent when she arrived at LSU. Whether it’s on the recruiting trail or the transfer portal, we’ve seen a flurry of high-profile additions in the last few years.
The trend continues with Mulkey adding a five-star to LSU’s 2025 class. Guard [autotag]Zakiyah Johnson[/autotag] committed to the Tigers on Sunday, giving LSU the No. 4 overall prospect in the class per On3.
ESPN is high on Johnson too, ranking her No. 13 overall.
Johnson is a Kentucky native, but nabbing out-of-state talent isn’t an issue for Mulkey and staff. After a national title and another deep tournament run, LSU women’s basketball is a national brand.
Johnson is LSU’s third addition to the 2025 class, joining [autotag]Bella Hines[/autotag] and [autotag]Divine Bourrage. [/autotag]
LSU is hoping Johnson isn’t the last marquee addition. Aaliyah Chavez, the top prospect in the country, remains an LSU target too.
As for the current Tigers, LSU begins its season on Monday night against Eastern Kentucky. Later in the week, LSU hosts a meeting with instate competition Northwestern State.
