Top 2023 LSU signee Mikaylah Williams shines with Team USA at Nike Hoops Summit

Williams is the No. 2 overall prospect in the country in the 2023 recruiting class.

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.

LSU women’s basketball picks up commitment from top player in Louisiana

Kim Mulkey continues to build a machine in Baton Rouge.

LSU just won its first national championship in women’s basketball, and the program is showing no signs of slowing down under coach [autotag]Kim Mulkey[/autotag].

The Tigers signed the best recruiting class in the nation in 2023, and LSU just landed the first commitment for its 2024 class, point guard [autotag]Jada Richard[/autotag]. She is the top prospect in the state according to the Louisiana girls rankings.

The 5-foot-7 Lafayette Christian Academy prospect isn’t ranked nationally, but she held offers from power conference programs such as Ole Miss and Arizona State. With her commitment, Mulkey has landed Louisiana’s No. 1 prospect in back-to-back classes.

With the Tigers set to return much of their 2022-23 team and add even more talent, this team should clearly be one of the early national title favorites next season, too. If Mulkey can continue to restock with players like Richard, the ceiling will remain as high as it is right now.
