Kim Mulkey, LSU Women's Basketball Set to Check In With No. 2 Point Guard in America

Pomfret (Md.) Sidwell Friends School five-star guard Autumn Fleary continues her rise as one of the top prospects in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle as she navigates a busy offseason.

Fleary, the No. 10 overall prospect in America, has Kim Mulkey's LSU Tigers firmly in the mix as she evaluates the contenders in her process this summer.

The 5-foot-6 guard took an official visit to LSU in March with Mulkey and Co. hosting her for a multi-day stay in Baton Rouge.

The coveted 2026 prospect recently trimmed her listed last October with the LSU Tigers not making the cut, but fast forward just a few months later and the program was back in the mix after turning up the heat.

Fleary revealed finalists including Duke, North Carolina, Notre Dame, Clemson, Arizona, TCU, UCLA, Virginia Tech, Virginia, Florida, Miami and Maryland.

Now, she's made another cut to her list with the LSU Tigers a program to keep tabs on.

Fleary took to social media to reveal a top four consisting of the LSU Tigers, North Carolina Tar Heels, UCLA Bruins and Duke Blue Devils.

It's a strong list of schools that Mulkey and Co. will compete against, but following an official visit in March, the Tigers are making a positive impression as a contender.

During Fleary's official visit to LSU, she had the chance to talk one-on-one with Mulkey, meet the current roster, and go through a photoshoot, she took to social media to showcase her official visit.

Now, Mulkey and the LSU staff will be on the road once again this weekend evaluating top prospects and targets with a check-in with Fleary on the docket, according to Rivals.

Fleary is set to compete in the Nike EYBL event in Chicago with top college coaches and evaluators set to be in attendance. That includes Mulkey and her LSU staff.

The Maryland native has become a priority recruit for the LSU Tigers. She's a crafty guard that thrives at going downhill with the ability to finish inside. The piece that will intrigues LSU is the way Fleary can create for others.

Fleary has the North Carolina Tar Heels firmly in the mix with the LSU Tigers set to battle the blue-blood program down the stretch.

247Sports' Evaluation: "I watched Autumn Fleary of Team Takeover compete at an elite level during the USA Basketball U17 trials. Her performance in Chicago at Nike Nationals was just as impressive as it was in Colorado Springs.

"Fleary consistently excels at getting downhill and creating opportunities for the multiple high-level players on Takeover's roster. She plays with pace and creativity, making it difficult for opposing defenses to prevent her from executing her moves off the dribble.

"On the defensive end, Fleary is more than willing to lead the press and create chaos for the other team in the process."
