LSU women’s basketball is in the mix for one of the top ranked players in the transfer portal.
Ta’Niya Latson entered the transfer portal after leading the nation in scoring at Florida State. According to a report from On3, LSU is showing interest in the guard.
In her junior season at Florida State, Latson averaged 25.2 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.6 rebounds per game while shooting 45% from the field. In her final game of the season, which was against LSU in the NCAA Tournament’s second round, Latson dropped 30 points.
Could she have played on the court of her future team? Depending on roster movement for the Tigers with the portal open and the WNBA Draft looming, Latson may be a fit for head coach Kim Mulkey’s system.
Flau’Jae Johnson’s future is unclear as she could return to Baton Rouge for a fifth year or turn professional. That would put LSU down its two leading scorers with Aneesah Morrow projected to be a first-round pick. Adding Latson would begin to address the gap on both ends of the floor.
The Tigers would get an experienced ball handler who could score in multiple ways with Latson. She gets the ball into the paint and can distribute to scorers around her while also creating havoc on the defensive end. LSU would immediately be a contender once again for next season
