LSU women's basketball dipped into the transfer portal to bring in key additions for its 2026-27 roster. Head coach Kim Mulkey struck gold more than once to build her team after taking some hits.
Flau'Jae Johnson left for the WNBA while starting point guard Jada Richard and key reserve Bella Hines entered the transfer portal. The Tigers needed to rebuild their backcourt and make improvements inside.
Mulkey is no stranger to adding talent from the portal. She brought in Angel Reese ahead of winning LSU's first national championship and Aneesah Morrow before the 2023-24 season. Both are excelling in the WNAB. The Tigers' leader also brought in Kate Koval, who gave the team agility and size inside last year.
The core remains intact for LSU. Mikaylah Williams returns for what will likely be her final season doing the purple and gold. MiLaysia Fulwiley, Grace Knox, ZaKiyah Johnson, and Koval will head into year two.
Here is every player who transferred to LSU women's basketball following the 2025-26 season.
Arguably the biggest splash signing made by Mulkey, Williams fills an immediate need for LSU. After Richard left for Ole Miss, the Tigers were left without a starting point guard. Williams comes to Baton Rouge as a proven floor general.
The rising senior, fresh off an All-Big 12 first-team season with Iowa State, averaged 15.3 points, 7.7 assists, which ranked top five nationally, and 3.5 rebounds per game. Her 246 assists also finished in the national top five. A McDonald's All-American, Williams contributes in all facets at a high level.
Reynolds comes to LSU after three seasons at Florida. The rising senior guard averted 12.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game on 43% shooting from the field. She started in 97 of the 98 games over her time with the Gators.
A former McDonald's All-American, Reynolds stands at six-foot-one and brings size to LSU's backcourt. Her shooting confidence and experience against SEC competition will make an immediate impact with the Tigers.
Mulkey went across the pond to sign Mallorca, Spain native Morro. The 21 year-old played in the EuroLeague with KutxaBank Araski, where she averaged eight points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game through 25 contests.
LSU women's basketball has added several key transfers, including Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow, to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season.

The six-foot-three forward will create matchup problems for LSU's opponents. Morrow plays strong around the basket but can handle the ball and knock down perimeter shots. She shot 36.5% from distance during the 2025-26 season.

A native of Bossier City, LA, Larry can make shots at all three levels. She shot 38.4% from the field and 35% from three-point range through her two seasons with the Golden Eagles.
