LSU HC Kim Mulkey explained why Hailey Van Lith decided to transfer

Hailey Van Lith decided not to enroll her name in the 2024 WNBA draft. Neither LSU head coach Kim Mulkey nor Van Lith addressed her departure publicly until Thursday, when the LSU women’s basketball team hosted a year-end banquet inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.

“Her aspirations were to get drafted this year,” Mulkey said as per Nola.com, “and she realized, ‘I need another year, and I need to go back to a place where I can relax and get back to my normal position.’

“And what do you do? You hug her, and you wish her well.”
