Divine Bourrage, the No. 12 recruit in the Class of 2025, decided to commit to LSU on Sep. 12. While she will play for head coach Kim Mulkey's side next season, she continues to produce stellar performances for her high school, Davenport North. Their 63-38 loss against Johnston Dragons had one silver lining: Bourrage's performance.
Famous basketball page Courtside WBB took to Instagram to share some highlights of the Davenport, IA native as she is seen converting tough shots, finding teammates during a fastbreak, and finishing in the paint:

Kim Mulkey calls Divine Bourrage the perfect fit
Coach Kim Mulkey traveled to Davenport to watch her signee Divine Bourrage play on Dec. 11. She talked about how the 5-foot-9 shooting guard would fit into her LSU system in a YouTube video posted by WQAD News 8:
"The position she plays was the first thing, we need a perimeter player," Mulkey said (1:02 onwards). "She can handle the point guard position, she can play the off-guard. I'm just gonna enjoy that she's going to be an LSU Tiger."
Bourrage will join Grace Knox, ZaKiyah Johnson and Bella Hines next year.
