Apart from LSU, the other teams in Edwards' top-10 mix are:

• Washington
• USC
• Tennesse
• South Carolina
• Notre Dame
• North Carolina
• Florida State
• Florida
• Duke

Meanwhile, Mulkey's LSU team comes off an Elite Eight run, falling to Caitlin Clark's Iowa Hawkeyes. Moreover, the program has a huge void to fill as Angel Reese to the WNBA this year. Moreover, their star point guard Hailey Van Lith has transferred to TCU Horned Frogs.

Edwards' acquisition is expected to provide a significant boost to any team she ends up joining, with the forward's potential described as "essentially limitless" by ESPN.

Kim Mulkey will face an early challenge during the 2024-25 season

As Kim Mulkey returns for her fourth season as the LSU Tigers coach, her team will be competing in the Basketball Hall of Fame Women’s Showcase this year as well. The Tigers played Colorado in the Hall of Fame Series in 2023 and were at the end of a 92-78 upset in the season opener.

In this year's 11th edition of the HoF event, LSU play Seton Hall on Dec. 17 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut. The last time the two teams faced off was in 2010-11 when the Tigers clinched a 58-40 victory.

The Tigers embark on the coming season with eight familiar faces from the last year. On the other hand, the Seton Hall Pirates will take the court with a relatively fresher set of faces, having added nine new players to the roster.
