LSU's pursuit of elite transfer Jada Williams reflects the program's aggressive roster reconstruction under coach Kim Mulkey.Storrs TodayKim Mulkey and the LSU Tigers women's basketball team are hosting top-10 overall transfer guard Jada Williams for an official visit this weekend. Williams, who spent the last season at Iowa State, is one of the top available players in the NCAA transfer portal and is considering the Tigers along with other top programs like Baylor and North Carolina.
Why it matters

Now, the dynamic guard is considering a move to Baton Rouge to play for Mulkey and the Tigers.
