If it wasn’t already readily apparent, it is now: [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] is building an absolute machine at LSU.
The Tigers women’s basketball team — which is already the odds-on favorite to repeat as national champions in 2024 — got even better on Friday as former DePaul forward [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag] announced her commitment to LSU via the transfer portal.
Morrow was one of the best transfers available in the entire country alongside Louisville’s [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] (who also committed to LSU). She broke out as a freshman with the Blue Demons in 2021-22, being named the national Freshman of the Year by several outlets that season.
She also earned All-American honors in each of her first two seasons.

As a sophomore this past season, Morrow averaged 25.7 points, 12.2 rebounds and two assists. She started all 66 games she appeared in with DePaul over the past two seasons.
She narrowed her list of finalists down to USC and South Carolina. She visited the Trojans last weekend and was set to make a trip to Columbia this weekend, but her plans have now obviously changed.
With Morrow’s addition, Mulkey has now landed two proven transfers to help offset the losses of [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] and [autotag]LaDazhia Williams[/autotag], who were selected in the WNBA draft.
Now, the rich are getting even richer as Van Lith and Morrow will join a team that includes returning stars [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag].
