Hines said that the place felt like a second home and that she was impressed with the family environment surrounding the program, which played a significant role in her decision to commit to LSU.

Hines and her family enjoyed a meal with Mulkey and her staff, where they talked about life, basketball and everything in between.

"(Kim Mulkey) was cracking jokes the whole time, saying her griddy was better than mine," Hines said, via LSU Reveille.

"We had a family meeting in her office, and she was just cracking us jokes and making us feel so welcomed. I’m just glad I’ve been able to get recruited by coach Mulkey."

Bella Hines also heaped praise on other LSU coaches, including Mulkey's assistant Gary Redus.

"Ever since I met Coach G, he’s always been super cool, super supportive. He’s honestly one of my biggest hype men," Hines added. "He’s a huge part of the reason why I committed."

Hines joined LSU's 2025 recruiting class, which already features five-star prospects Grace Knox, ZaKiyah Johnson and Divine Bourrage.
