LSU lands the No.1 center and No. 5 overall player in the class of 2027, Caroline Bradley from Oak Grove, Louisiana.

Bradley chose LSU over Notre Dame, South Carolina and the 2026 national champion, UCLA.

Bradley is the 2026 Louisiana Gatorade Player of the Year and is only the sixth girl in Louisiana’s history to get the honor in multiple years.

Being from Louisiana, Bradley says she is very familiar with LSU and enjoys the school’s atmosphere.

“Anytime I’m able to go down there and watch a game, it’s nothing short of incredible every time.”

A big factor that went into Bradley’s decision was player development as the post player has basketball aspirations that transcend the collegiate level.

“The game is ever evolving, so somewhere that the coaches know how to progress my game and develop me to where I’m not only successful in college, but have an opportunity to be successful in the league.”

With Bradley’s commitment, Coach Kim Mulkey continues to dominate recruiting as highly touted players choosing to come play in the PMAC has become routine.
