The LSU women’s basketball program continues to build for a bright future, announcing the commitment of five-star recruit Jasmine Caldwell, the No. 1-ranked player in the 2025 class. Caldwell, a 6’4” forward from Dallas, Texas, chose LSU over powerhouse programs such as UConn, South Carolina, and Stanford, citing the team’s culture and head coach Kim Mulkey’s leadership as key factors in her decision.
“When I visited LSU, it felt like home,” Caldwell said during her announcement. “Coach Mulkey’s passion for the game and the team’s energy were exactly what I was looking for. I’m excited to be part of something special.”
Caldwell’s commitment is a major win for LSU, as she is regarded as a game-changer on both ends of the court. Known for her scoring ability, rebounding dominance, and defensive versatility, Caldwell has drawn comparisons to WNBA star A’ja Wilson. Her addition to LSU’s 2025 roster further strengthens the program’s trajectory as a national contender.
Kim Mulkey expressed her excitement about Caldwell’s decision, stating, “Jasmine is the kind of player who can transform a program. She’s got the talent, the work ethic, and the character to succeed at the highest level. We can’t wait to see her in purple and gold.”
This recruiting success underscores LSU’s momentum under Mulkey, who has revitalized the program since her arrival. With several other top prospects considering LSU, the Tigers are positioning themselves as a long-term powerhouse in women’s college basketball.
As fans celebrate the addition of Caldwell, the future looks brighter than ever for LSU. With their current roster excelling and the next generation of talent on the horizon, the Tigers are poised to remain at the forefront of the sport for years to come.
