The LSU women’s basketball team continued its impressive recruiting run Friday, landing a commitment from DePaul transfer forward Aneesah Morrow.
Morrow joins the Tigers a little more than a week after former Louisville point guard Hailey Van Lith, widely considered the top available transfer, announced she would join Kim Mulkey’s program.
The addition of Morrow, who has two years of eligibility remaining, bolsters LSU’s standing as the favorite to repeat as national champion next season.
Van Lith is likely to replace point guard Alexis Morris, who was drafted by the WNBA's Connecticut Sun last month. Morrow will give LSU another dominant force in the frontcourt alongside Angel Reese, the All-American who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA tournament.

The 6-foot-1 Morrow was a third-team All-American last season, when she ranked fourth in the nation in scoring at 25.7 points per game and seventh in the nation in rebounds at 12.2 per game. She has also averaged 1.5 blocks over two seasons.
The only other player to rank in the top 10 in both categories was Reese, who was second in rebounds (15.4 per game) and fifth in scoring (23.0 points per game).
Reese led the nation in double-doubles during last season with 35. Morrow, a Chicago native, ranked third with 26.
Morrow was named a third-team All-American by both the Associated Press and the United States Basketball Writers Association for the 2022-23 campaign.
