Meghan Yarnevich played for Howard High School and Bullis School before joining LSU. She attracted the attention of several college basketball programs after becoming a four-star prospect in high school. She initially committed to the Georgia Bulldogs under coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson but rescinded her commitment on May 4.

Kim Mulkey and LSU soon pounced, making Yarnevich the fifth member of the Tigers' incoming freshman class. She joined Divine Bourrage, Bella Hines, Zakiyah Johnson and Grace Knox in the list of LSU's talented newcomers.

Mulkey leaned on her experienced players last season, with Aneesah Morrow, Flau'jae Johnson and Mikaylah Williams each averaging more than 31 minutes per contest. The trio accounted for more than half of the Tigers' points in the 2024-25 NCAA campaign.

Richard displayed her offensive prowess when she helped LSU record a 117-44 victory over Charleston Southern on Nov. 12, scoring 11 points and issuing six assists in 26 minutes of action. She displayed perfection in that contest, shooting 4-of-4 from the field, including 3-for-3 from beyond the arc.

Richard made two appearances in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, averaging 2.8 points and 0.8 boards in the wins over San Diego State and Florida State. It will be interesting to see how incoming freshman Meghan Yarnevich will fare for LSU in the 2025-26 NCAA season.
