re: LSU WBB transfer portal thread

Posted elsewhere but here’s an ESPN article from November about incoming recruits for those interested.

1. LSU Tigers

Highest-ranked commit: G Mikaylah Williams(No. 2)
Previous ranking: 1

Kim Mulkey had the No. 17 recruiting class for the 2022 class and then added impact transfers in the offseason. She followed that up with the No. 1 2023 class, led by superstar Mikaylah Williams. Williams has won gold medals in both 3x3 and the FIBA U17 World Cup. She is a physical guard who is arguably the best one-on-one isolation player in the class. The addition of No. 7 Aalyah Del Rosario pushed LSU to the top spot. Del Rosario is the top true post in the class. She has soft hands and a nice touch out to the top of the key. She is a physical presence inside and passes very well out of the double team. Her club teammate and No. 44 Angelica Velez is a shifty point guard with an East Coast flair to her game. She sets the table for others and runs the show. No. 73 Janae Kent is a wing/forward with nice mid-range game and the ability to knock down the 3-point shot. She gets on the glass well

Here is the current roster with freshman added and no attrition from last year. WBB you are able to have 15 players so that leaves 3 spots available.

G Last-Tear Poa 5-8 JR.
G Kateri Poole 5-8 JR
G Flaujae Johnson 5-10 SO.
G Mikaylah Williams 6-0 FR.
G Angelica Valez 5-7 FR.
G. Izzy Besselman 5-10 SO.

F Sa’Myah Smith 6-2 SO.
F Angel Reese 6-3 JR.
F Amani Bartlett 6-3 JR.
F Alisa Williams 6-2 SO.
F Aliyah Del Rosario 6-5 FR.
F Janae Kent 6-1 FR.

One transfer player not mentioned worth a look is G Lexi Donarski 6-0 SR. from Iowa State. Averaged 13.2 points per game, 3.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Able to hit from 3 and was 2022 Big12 Defensive Player of the Year.
