LSU Women’s Basketball Rebuilds Roster for 2026‑27 Season

Coach Kim Mulkey adds Jada Williams and Noa Morro as the team aims to strengthen defense and interior play

Roster Overhaul Ahead of 2026‑27 Season

LSU's women's basketball program is reshaping its roster for the 2026‑27 season as Coach Kim Mulkey looks to replace departed players with fresh talent.

The centerpiece of the overhaul is the addition of point guard Jada Williams, a rising senior transfer from Iowa State who brings a defensive mindset and playmaking ability.

Williams not only guards opponents but also creates scoring chances, having assisted more shots per game than any other Division I player last season.

Complementing the backcourt, the team welcomes Noa Morro, a 21‑year‑old forward with professional experience in Spain, capable of operating both inside the paint and on the perimeter.

Morro’s shooting touch includes a 38 % success rate from beyond the arc on three attempts per game in Spain, adding a new dimension to LSU’s offense.

Mulkey emphasizes defense, rebounding and interior scoring as the core of the new identity, while the mix of returners, transfers and a freshman promises depth.

The coaching staff still has one or two scholarship spots to fill before the roster is finalized, indicating that the final pieces may arrive in the coming weeks.
