Mikaylah Williams, the No. 1 women’s basketball recruit in the Class of 2023, committed to LSU on Friday.
She is ranked as the top prospect by ESPN HoopGurlz.

“In order to take my game to the next level and to continue to learn and grow as a young woman, there’s only one place that I wanted to be. Home. I’ve decided I’ll be attending the Louisiana State University,” she said in a video posted to Twitter.
