The recruitment of Williams has clearly become a social media event, with LSU’s coaching staff strategically building anticipation. Redus’ initial cryptic post was followed by LSU player Mikaylah Williams directing followers to check her Instagram story, further amplifying attention on the Wisconsin star’s campus visit.
Video clips shared by users showed Williams enjoying herself at Baton Rouge’s Supper Club, a popular local venue.
The coordinated social media campaign demonstrates LSU’s all-in approach to landing Williams, who is currently ranked as the No. 3 forward in the transfer portal. With UConn and North Carolina also pursuing the defensive standout, LSU is leveraging both traditional recruiting tactics and social media engagement to distinguish their program.
Johnson’s public endorsement represents yet another element in LSU’s comprehensive recruitment strategy.
The potential pairing of Johnson and Williams would give LSU a formidable defensive identity that only a few programs could match. Johnson has established herself as one of college basketball’s premier two-way players, earning first-team All-SEC honors and third-team All-American recognition while averaging 18.6 points per game last season.
Williams would complement LSU’s existing talent with her dominant interior presence. The 2024 Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year averaged 19.2 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks per game, showcasing the elite two-way skill set that has made her such a coveted transfer.

Her shot-blocking ability and rebounding prowess would fill a critical need in LSU’s frontcourt.
Johnson’s commitment to LSU for her senior season, despite being projected as a likely lottery pick in the WNBA Draft, demonstrates her dedication to bring a title to Baton Rouge. Her quick social media endorsement of Williams suggests she recognizes the Wisconsin star’s potential impact on LSU’s championship aspirations for the 2025-26 season.
