LSU women’s basketball transfers Hailey Van Lith, Aneesah Morrow earn AP Preseason Honorable Mention honors

The Tigers are the favorite to repeat after bringing in a pair of highly touted transfers.

LSU’s women’s basketball team looks primed to repeat as national champions in 2023-24 despite losing a couple of key players from last year’s squad.

A major reason for that is the transfer portal class coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] brought in this offseason, which was headlined by a pair of All-Americans last season in guard [autotag]Hailey Van Lith[/autotag] and forward [autotag]Aneesah Morrow[/autotag].

While neither was named a Preseason All-American by the Associated Press like [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag], both were named to the AP’s Preseason Honorable Mention list on Tuesday.

Van Lith was the top transfer in the country after earning First Team All-ACC and All-American Honorable Mention honors with Louisville last season. Morrow comes from DePaul, where she had 53 double-doubles in 66 career games and was named the national Freshman of the Year in 2021-22.

With another absolutely stacked roster in Baton Rouge, this could be the start of a dynasty for Mulkey.
