LSU misses the cut for top women’s basketball prospect in 2024 class

The Tigers didn’t make the top three for Sarah Strong, the No. 1 player in the 2024 cycle.

LSU has been a routine contender for elite talent since coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] arrived in Baton Rouge two years ago, but it has missed the cut for the top women’s basketball prospect in the 2024 cycle.

ESPN reported Thursday that [autotag]Sarah Strong[/autotag], a forward from Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, is down to three schools.

LSU was not among them. The No. 1 player in the nation per the ESPNW Top 100 is down to Duke, North Carolina and UConn.

The top three make a decent deal of geographic sense for the North Carolina native, and Mulkey’s squad will miss out on adding another elite player.

LSU has one commitment in the 2024 cycle from a top 100 prospect: Louisiana native [autotag]Jada Richard[/autotag].
