Kim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers are continuing to work the recruiting trail hard this summer, with the team trying to build a strong roster for the long term in Baton Rouge.
The LSU staff recently traveled to check in with many key targets in both the 2026 and 2027 Recruiting Classes, with a new offer being extended.
Mulkey & Co. granted a scholarship to Montverde Academy five-star Jayla Forbes, who continues to rise as one of America’s top prospects.
The 6-foot-7 center is the No. 13 overall talent in the 2027 Recruiting Cycle, with college basketball’s “Who’s Who” extending offers.
As her career progresses, several SEC institutions, including the Ole Miss Rebels, Auburn Tigers, and Mississippi State Bulldogs, have maintained touch with her.
Mulkey and the LSU Tigers are the latest school to make an offer to the rising junior.
The program is aiming to add talent to its frontcourt, with LSU competing for Caroline Bradley, America’s No. 5 overall prospect.
Bradley, the Bayou State’s top prospect, is a high focus for Mulkey and the Tigers during the 2027 recruiting cycle, as she navigates a frantic recruiting process.
She is coming off a record-breaking recruiting season in which she was named to the LSWA 2A All-State First Team.
Bradley averaged 20.6 points, 14.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 2.6 blocked shots per game while guiding her team to the state championship game.
Mulkey and Co. have hosted Bradley for many unofficial trips to Baton Rouge, indicating that LSU has the advantage in her recruitment, but the top programs will continue to push harder.
