Excitement fills the Pete Maravich Assembly Center as LSU Tigers star forward Aneesah Morrow electrifies the crowd with a powerful declaration: “I’m not going anywhere.” In a moment that instantly sent shockwaves through the world of college basketball, Morrow announced her decision to return for the 2025-26 season, cementing her commitment to the LSU program and sparking championship dreams anew in Baton Rouge.
The packed arena erupted in cheers as Morrow, flanked by her teammates and Head Coach Kim Mulkey, made the emotional announcement. With speculation swirling around her future — including rumors of entering the WNBA Draft or transferring — the All-American put all doubts to rest. Her return is not just a win for LSU, but a statement of loyalty, belief, and unfinished business.
“I came here for a reason,” Morrow said. “I believe in this program, in Coach Mulkey, and in what we’re building here. We’ve got more to accomplish, and I want to be part of making history.”
Morrow’s return is monumental for the Tigers. A relentless scorer and tenacious rebounder, she averaged over 20 points and 10 rebounds last season, anchoring LSU’s offense and setting the tone with her physicality and fire. Her presence on the floor is a game-changer, and her leadership off the court is just as vital to a team with national championship aspirations.
Head Coach Kim Mulkey didn’t hold back her excitement. “Aneesah is one of the most dominant players in the country, and having her back is a gift,” Mulkey said. “She’s not just coming back to play — we’re going to build everything around her. She’s the heartbeat of this team, and we’re going to put her in a position to thrive and lead us to the top.”
With Morrow returning, and a strong recruiting class joining the fold, LSU looks locked and loaded for a serious title run in 2025-26. The chemistry, experience, and star power are all aligning at the right time.
Fans flooded social media with excitement, and ticket demand for next season spiked immediately following the announcement. Morrow’s decision to stay is more than just a personal choice — it’s a signal to the rest of the NCAA that LSU isn’t backing down.
