7. LSU Tigers
Even with the losses of Angel Reese and Hailey Van Lith, the Tigers were loaded with talent. Then Kim Mulkey went into the portal and grabbed a bunch more. As if Flau'jae Johnson, Aneesah Morrow and Mikaylah Williams weren't enough, LSU will also have Shayeann Day-Wilson, the 2022 ACC freshman of the year at Duke and Miami's leading scorer this season, Kailyn Gilbert, Arizona's top scorer before leaving the team after 23 games, and Mjracle Sheppard, who led Mississippi State to an upset of LSU in January. Jersey Wolfenbarger, a 6-5 former McDonald's All-American who sat out last season after two years with Arkansas, is also headed to Baton Rouge. This is another LSU team with Final Four potential, and Johnson, who looked like the Tigers' best player at times in the NCAA tournament, might be on the verge of being a star. Previous ranking: 7
