Grace Knox talks about her decision to join LSU

Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers have signed four high-rated recruits from the Class of 2025. Knox, who had offers from other top programs, including USC, Texas, Tennessee and UCLA, among others, signed for Mulkey's side on Nov. 6.

She talked about her decision with On3:

“I think when I first went on my visit, I felt like there was no sense of awkwardness and there was a sense of belonging,” Knox told On3. “I felt very comfortable with everybody throughout the whole entire trip. I was comfortable during the other trips, but with LSU, it kind of just felt right within myself.”

Grace Knox will join Divine Bourrage, ZaKiyah Johnson and Bella Hines at the Tigers next season.
