ZaKiyah Johnson, who ranks fourth in the shooting guard position and first in Kentucky, received offers from Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, Tennessee Volunteers and Arizona Wildcats, among others.
However, she chose to sign for LSU on Nov. 3 and talked about her decision with the Courier Journal.
“I’ve always kind of been an on-the-go type of person," Johnson said. "I like to move around a lot, whether it’s with family or my friends. LSU felt a lot like home, but I know it’s far so I can be on my own. I’ll be comfortable, but I’ll also have that challenge of taking the responsibility of being on my own and having to do a lot for myself.”
