ZaKiyah Johnson opens up on her desire to be a role model for little girls

Johnson, who signed for the Tigers on Nov. 3 after rejecting offers from top programs including Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona and Tennessee, among others, talked about her goal.

In a conversation with Mason Horodyski, Johnson claimed that she wanted to be the greatest from Kentucky:

"I want to be the greatest to come out of Kentucky. I want to go to the league, I want all the little girls to grow up and say, 'I want to be like ZaKiyah,'" Johnson told Mason Horodyski.

"I mean nobody ever wants to leave home. It's gonna be hard leaving my family and I think about it almost everyday but I think going down there and being able to see some of the things I see here will help me," she added.

ZaKiyah Johnson will be joined by Bella Hines, Grace Knox and Divine Bourrage at Kim Mulkey's side next season.
