In a major recruiting triumph, Hall‑of‑Fame coach Kim Mulkey has landed a commitment from Divine Bourrage, the No. 5 point guard in America for the 2025 class, solidifying LSU’s status as a national powerhouse .
Bourrage, standing at 5‑foot‑10 from Davenport, Iowa, visited Baton Rouge on an official visit last weekend. She joins a loaded class that already includes Top‑25 talents like Bella Hines, ZaKiyah Johnson, and Grace Knox . Mulkey wasted no time explaining why Bourrage is a perfect fit for her system:
> “The position she plays was the first thing, we need a perimeter player… She can handle the point guard position, she can play the off‑guard. I’m just gonna enjoy that she’s going to be an LSU Tiger.”
Last season at North Davenport, Bourrage averaged a dynamic 19.8 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 5.6 apg, and 3 spg—showcasing her all-around prowess . She’s known for her terrific footwork, court vision, and defensive instincts, giving Mulkey flexibility in the backcourt.
This commitment enhances LSU’s already top-ranked 2025 recruiting class, which Mulkey recently called “the No. 1 class in America” . The quartet of five-star recruits is expected to help maintain the Tigers’ elite standing following their 2023 National Championship and recent Elite Eight performances .
LSU’s 2024–25 campaign concluded with a 31‑6 record and an SEC runner-up finish, eventually bowing out in the Elite Eight . With Bourrage onboard, they’re poised to challenge for SEC supremacy and make a deep NCAA Tournament run next spring.
Mulkey’s recruiting dominance speaks volumes. In less than four years at LSU, she’s restored national prominence—back-to-back 30‑win seasons, three straight NCAA Elite Eights, and a national title .
Bottom line: Bourrage brings elite skills, versatility, and court leadership. Combined with Mulkey’s coaching and a stacked supporting cast, LSU is shaping up as the preeminent threat in women’s college basketball.
