The LSU women’s basketball team received National Letters of Intent from three prospects on Wednesday.
Baton Rouge guard Jeanne Kenney, Mobile, Ala. post player Shanece McKinney and Houma post player Theresa Plaisance each signed on the dotted line for the Lady Tigers to make the recruiting class the 10th best in the country, according to ESPN.com.
“We are very happy as a staff with the three players we signed today,” said LSU coach Van Chancellor. “We have signed people who can shoot the basketball, people that have size, people that can defend and people that can rebound. Anytime that you can sign three of the top 100 players in America, you are excited. Our staff did an outstanding job.”
The volleyball team also signed four players in the early signing period.
Desiree Elliott, Shelby Pursley, Avery Striebel and Nicole Willis pledged to LSU coach Fran Flory on Wednesday.
Elliott, Striebel and Willis are each members of PrepVolleyball.com’s Senior Aces Top 150 for this recruiting class.
“This is a vital class to the future of our program as we replace four tremendous seniors,” head coach Fran Flory said. “All four of these signees possess outstanding athleticism and great character. They represent another step forward for our program and will be outstanding additions to our program both on the court and in the classroom.”
