A former five-star recruit has officially departed LSU’s women’s basketball program, led by Kim Mulkey, transferring to a rival SEC school. The player, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, cited a lack of playing time and concerns over the team culture as key reasons for the move. According to sources close to the situation, the player felt her development was being stunted due to limited minutes on the court and a coaching style that didn’t align with her growth goals.
In recent weeks, LSU has seen a noticeable uptick in transfer portal entries, raising questions about internal dynamics and the long-term direction under Mulkey’s leadership. While LSU continues to bring in top talent — including a recent commitment from former Notre Dame center Kate Koval — the loss of highly ranked recruits suggests underlying friction.
This move is a significant shake-up within the SEC, as the unnamed player is expected to make an immediate impact at her new school. The transfer could also influence future recruiting battles between LSU and other powerhouse programs in the conference. As the offseason continues, all eyes will be on how Mulkey navigates the shifting roster and addresses concerns from both current and prospective players.
