Louisville women's basketball transfer guard Hailey Van Lith is on an official visit at LSU, according to a Tuesday tweet from On3 journalist Shea Dixon.
Hailey Van Lith entered the transfer portal ahead of the 2023-2024 season earlier this month, taking to Instagram to thank the Louisville community after three years with the program.
“It's been an honor over the last three years to have had the opportunity to pour my passion and heart into Louisville,” Van Lith wrote. “This city has impacted my life in so many ways and helped shape me into the person I am today.
“The Louisville community has given to me selflessly. I will never forget your unwavering support.”
A former five-star recruit out of Wenatchee, Washington, Hailey Van Lith averaged a career-high 19.7 points and 36.9 minutes per game in her third season at Louisville, highlighted by a 29-point, 5-rebound and 3-steal performance against the Virginia Tech Hokies in January. Along with Iowa guard Caitlin Clark, she was one of two Power 5 players to average at least 19 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, according to Louisville's website.
“We thank Hailey for her contributions to this program, this school and this community,” Louisville coach Jeff Walz said, via the Associated Press. “She has done everything we have asked of her over the past three years, and we wish her the very best in her final collegiate season and beyond.”
LSU took home the national championship with a 102-85 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes. Winning the title prompted a reaction from Tigers senior forward LaDazhia Williams.
“This is what we worked hard for. This is what we pushed through adversity for. It was definitely earned,” Williams said. “It just feels great. We worked on our team chemistry since we got on campus.
“We all love each other, and we all push hard for each other, so it's great.”
