Divine Bourrage talks about her decision to choose LSU
With offers from over 30 programs including Miami, South Carolina, Illinois, Missouri and more, Divine Bourrage talked about her decision to choose LSU with On3 in September 2024, commending Mulkey:
“I like how Kim Mulkey is with her players,” Divine Bourrage told On3 after her visit. “She’s really loving with them, and I feel that’s what a player needs. Then I’m heavy on the family aspect, and I think that’s what stood out the most.
“It’s a dream come true. I’ve been a big Kim Mulkey fan for a long time, so when they hit me up and offered me, I almost cried about that. I’ve talked to coach Mulkey a lot over the phone, and she’s big on family, so it makes sense she’s like that with her players.”
Divine Bourrage will be accompanied by other top prospects, including Grace Knox, ZaKiyah Johnson and Bella Hines.
