In a significant win for LSU women’s basketball, head coach Kim Mulkey has secured a commitment from one of the nation’s top young talents, Divine Bourrage, a highly sought-after 2025 recruit.
The dynamic guard from the class of 2025 made her decision to join the LSU Tigers over top programs like the University of Louisville and the University of Kentucky, further solidifying the Tigers’ place among the elite programs in women’s college basketball.
Bourrage, a 5-foot-10 guard, is widely regarded as one of the top players in her recruiting class and ranks in the top-10 nationally.
Known for her explosive scoring ability, high basketball IQ, and versatility on both ends of the court, Bourrage is expected to be an immediate impact player at LSU.
Her decision to commit to the Tigers signals a major recruiting victory for Mulkey, who has turned LSU into a powerhouse in just a few seasons at the helm.
While Bourrage’s recruitment drew heavy interest from several powerhouse programs, including Louisville and Kentucky, the Baton Rouge-based LSU program made a strong impression on the talented prospect.
According to Bourrage, the coaching staff’s vision for her development, combined with the culture of success at LSU, made it the ideal destination for her collegiate career.
“I’ve always wanted to be a part of something special,” Bourrage said in a statement. “LSU has the talent, the coaching, and the winning culture that I want to be a part of.
I’m excited to work with Coach Mulkey and my future teammates to build on the success that this program is already having.”
Bourrage’s commitment is another indication that LSU is building a dynasty under Kim Mulkey, who led the Tigers to a national title in just her second season with the program in 2023.
With a strong recruiting pipeline and a championship pedigree, Mulkey’s Tigers are poised to be a dominant force in women’s college basketball for years to come.
Bourrage is known for her impressive all-around game, combining scoring ability with solid defensive skills. She has the ability to score from anywhere on the floor, whether it’s driving to the basket or hitting deep three-pointers.
Her athleticism and ability to create mismatches make her a perfect fit in LSU’s up-tempo offense and pressure defense.
LSU’s 2025 class now boasts two top-10 commitments, with Bourrage joining fellow highly ranked recruit Jazmine Young, a forward from North Carolina, in what promises to be one of the nation’s top recruiting classes.
With these commitments, LSU has shown it is more than capable of maintaining its place among the premier programs in women’s basketball.
For LSU fans, the future looks incredibly bright with the addition of Bourrage. The commitment not only strengthens LSU’s already loaded roster but also shows that Kim Mulkey’s vision for the program is resonating with the next generation of basketball stars.
