Assistant coach Kaylin Rice recently made another visit to watch Bradley play in a playoff matchup, further strengthening LSU's efforts to secure her commitment.

The Tigers are making sure Bradley feels ed throughout the process, meeting her in person and inviting her to experience game days in Baton Rouge.
With LSU's track record of successfully g Louisiana talent, including Mikaylah Williams in 2023 and Jada Richard in 2024, Mulkey's team is well-positioned to land Bradley, who could become the No. 1 player in Louisiana for LSU in the coming years.
With the commitment of these top recruits, LSU's 2025 g class is shaping up to be one of the best in the nation. In addition to Bradley, Knox, and Johnson, LSU is also excited about other incoming talent.
