LSU has been on a hot streak when it comes to recruiting. The school in Baton Rouge managed to secure four five-star commits. On Wednesday, the official LSU Women's Basketball Instagram page revealed the commits via an announcement video on the platform in EA Sports style.

Coach Kim Mulkey is trying to get more high school standouts to join her squad. Bourrage, Hines, Johnson and Knox are the highest-ranking prospects to do so.

LSU's four five-star commits explain why they chose Baton Rouge

The four five-star commits explained why they chose the school on the Louisiana State University Sports website. Guard Divine Bourrage said:

“I chose to play at LSU because I feel like I can grow my game there and it felt like home. And to play for Coach Mulkey has been a dream of mine.”

While guard Bella Hines, a prolific scorer and New Mexico native, said:

“I chose to play at LSU and for Coach Mulkey because I wanted to be a part of a winning program and I know with Coach Mulkey I can do that. A big part of why I wanted to play for Coach Mulkey is because she cares more about me as a person and my education than just a basketball player.”

ZaKiyah Johnson, who previously admitted she partly chose the Tigers because of Angel Reese, said:

“I chose to play for Coach Mulkey at LSU because I know she knows what it takes to get to the top. LSU feels like home away from home.”

Forward Grace Knox said it is all about the passion and culture over at Baton Rouge.

“I would say I chose LSU because, for one I know Coach Mulkey can develop me for the next level as I saw her do at Baylor and recently at LSU,” she said.
“I love the culture on and off the court which set it apart from the other schools mostly. Of course, there’s great branding opportunities at LSU as well. Lastly, I feel like on the visit I felt the genuineness and passion in the coaching staff. There didn’t seem to be an awkward moment and could see myself thriving there next year.”

Because of the four commitments, the school now unanimously ranks No. 1 across all recruiting rankings.
