ZaKiyah Johnson’s choice to commit to LSU is indeed a powerful step for both her and the Tigers. She’s arguably one of Kentucky’s most prestigious players but also a top national prospect, so her decision will undoubtedly elevate LSU’s profile in women’s basketball.
Johnson narrowed her choices to three including Kentucky and Louisville. The Sacred Heart star turned down offers from other elite programs like UConn, South Carolina, and UCLA.
Johnson sees something special at LSU, and it’s a testament to the direction LSU’s program is heading. Her tenure at Sacred Heart Academy has already shown her ability to lead and succeed at a high level, and her development at LSU will be something to watch closely. Her commitment could make waves not only for her future but also for the overall strength of the team.
