The LSU women’s basketball team captured the first national championship in program history this season, but coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] isn’t resting on her laurels.
The Tigers lost a couple of key pieces after the season, namely [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] and [autotag]LaDazhia Williams[/autotag], but they bring back stars [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag], and they’ve been aggressive on the transfer portal market.
LSU has been a major player in the recruitment of Louisville guard [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag], and it will host another elite transfer on campus this weekend in DePaul forward [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag]. The news was first reported by On3’s Matthew Brune.
Morrow averaged 25.7 points and 12.2 rebounds for the Blue Demons this season, earning Third Team All-American honors for her efforts. The 6-foot-1 Chicago native has two remaining years of eligibility and ranks as either the No. 1 or No. 2 player in the portal, depending on the rankings.
If LSU could land either Van Lith or Morrow (let alone both) it would almost certainly enter the 2023-24 season as the clear favorite to repeat as champions.
