The Tigers are national champions in women’s basketball for the first time in program history, and it could be the first of several as coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag] is building a machine in Baton Rouge.
LSU is set to return many of its key players, including [autotag]Angel Reese[/autotag] and [autotag]Flau’Jae Johnson[/autotag]. However, there will be several new additions, as well, including the No. 2 overall player in the country.
Five-star guard and LSU signee [autotag]Mikaylah Williams[/autotag] is competing with Team USA at the Nike Hoops Summit. In Saturday night’s contest, she totaled 22 points, five rebounds, two assists and shot six of seven from 3-point range.

Williams is the biggest prize in Mulkey’s top-ranked recruiting class, and if this performance is any indication, she could be set to make an immediate impact on a team that loses starting point [autotag]Alexis Morris[/autotag] to the WNBA.
