LSU Tigers women's basketball head coach Kim Mulkey lost Angel Reese to the WNBA draft this year but recruited a few key players, including former Miami Hurricanes guard Shayeann Day-Wilson.

In a recent video posted on social media, Day-Wilson showcased her hooping skills while performing drills as she geared up for her debut season with the Tigers.

Shayeann Day-Wilson began her collegiate journey with the Duke Blue Devils in 2021. During her freshman season, Wilson was named the ACC Freshman of the Year by the conference's coaches. She averaged 12.7 points and 3.7 assists per game in her debut collegiate campaign.

Shayeann left Duke after two seasons to play for Miami in 2023–24. She averaged 11.9 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. She will join Kim Mulkey's team for the upcoming season.

Apart from Shayeann, the LSU Tigers also managed to bring in Kailyn Gilbert from Arizona and Mjracle Sheppard from the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

The addition of these three players will help bolster the roster as the Tigers look to contend for the national title.

"We could not be more excited to add Shayeann, Kailyn and Mjracle to the LSU family," Mulkey said. "The three of them will add a combination of experience and depth on the perimeter for us and will bolster our roster to continue to compete at an elite level."

Following last season's Elite Eight loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes, can Mulkey lead the Tigers to another national championship this upcoming season? Let us know in the comments below.
