LSU women’s basketball hosting pair of five-star prospects this weekend

LSU is in hot pursuit of a pair of top-five prospects in the 2024 class.

[autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] has accumulated an embarrassment of riches when it comes to talent in Baton Rouge, and the list of big-time names to come through LSU’s women’s basketball program may be about to get even longer.

Mulkey and the Tigers are gearing up for a big-time recruiting weekend in which they will host a pair of five-star prospects and top-five recruits in the 2024 class, according to a report from LSU Country’s Zack Nagy.

[autotag]Sarah Strong[/autotag], the No. 1 player in America, and [autotag]Kate Koval[/autotag] — who ranks No. 5 overall in the class — are the headliners.

LSU seems to be the favorite for Strong, a North Carolina native who recently competed in Hungary alongside 2023 Tigers signee [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag] in the FIBA U18 3×3 World Cup.

Koval, who hails from New York, has also been a priority target for the Tigers in the cycle, and it seems to be shaping up to be a battle between LSU and Notre Dame for her services.

The Tigers held recent in-home visits with both prospects, per Nagy.
