Women’s college basketball received much more attention than ever before and it’s all thanks to the stars littered throughout the nation.
Angel Reese and the LSU Tigers, along with Caitlin Clark, took over the sports world during the National Championship game.
However, Hailey Van Lith is another superstar in the college basketball world.
Her role in Louisville has been vital for their success, even though the Cardinals haven’t been able to win a championship.
But on Thursday, Hailey Van Lith shocked the sporting world after announcing she’s transferring to LSU, per Bleacher Report.

At the end of the day, Hailey Van Lith joining LSU is bad news for the rest of the nation.
With that said, we’d like to just skip to March next year if we can. LSU, Iowa, South Carolina, and all the teams in the between are going to make women’s college basketball a prime-time sport for spectators.
Keep an eye out for any official statements from LSU or Hailey Van Lith herself.
