LSU WBB: Five-Star Target Includes Tigers in Final Five Schools

The LSU women's basketball staff has been all across the country this fall as they continue checking in on their top targets in the 2024 recruiting class.

Kim Mulkey and Co. have hit the recruiting trail with force, and after hosting the Top 3 players in America for visits to Baton Rouge, "closing time" is inching closer for this program.

Over the weekend, the No. 3 prospect in the 2024 class, Jaloni Cambridge, revealed her final five schools with LSU making the cut alongside Baylor, Florida, Louisville and Ohio State.

The Tigers received an official visit from Cambridge this fall as LSU turns up the heat for the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 players in the country.

No. 1 - Sarah Strong

No. 2 - Joyce Edwards

No. 3 - Jaloni Cambridge

Now, Mulkey's program has made the final cut as Cambridge locks in on making a decision.

The reigning National Champions have even taken to Twitter to voice their opinions on the current targets with Angel Reese getting in on the action.

The No. 1 Player in America: Sarah Strong

Sarah Strong is at the top of LSU's "wish list" for good reason. There are ties to LSU with Strong previously playing ball with current freshman Mikaylah Williams and this staff has done its homework on her game.

The No. 1 player in the 2024 class is fresh off of a visit to UCONN this month where the prized prospect met with Geno Auriemma and Co. up north.

As it stands, this is a battle between LSU and UCONN for Strong's services. Sources familiar with the situation believe a decision should come soon for Strong as LSU continues turning up the heat for their top target. LSU Country will keep you updated on a commitment timeline.

The No. 2 Player in America: Joyce Edwards

Joyce Edwards has been well traveled this fall. She's taken her official visit to LSU and has also taken visits to Texas A&M and South Carolina.

A South Carolina native, the Gamecocks have emerged as the team to beat for Edwards. Following Edwards' visit to College Station last weekend, LSU got in front of Edwards before she took her trip to South Carolina over the weekend.

There is no timeline set for Edwards and a decision, but like Strong, we'll keep you in the loop regarding a commitment date.

New Visit Date in the Works: Aaliyah Chavez

The No. 1 prospect in the 2025 class was set to make her way to Baton Rouge for an official visit to LSU two weeks ago, but Chavez is looking to reschedule her visit after a conflict changed plans. She will look to get in a trip to campus in the coming weeks.

Chavez, a 5-foot-9 point guard out of Texas, included the Tigers in her Top 10 schools with a visit still in the works.

The numbers are significant for Chavez when it comes from a production standpoint. She averaged 30 points per game on 55% from the field as just a sophomore, but it gets better. From three-point range, Chavez knocked down 47% of her deep balls. As a freshman, she averaged 27 points a night.
