BATON ROUGE – Kim Mulkey and her LSU women’s basketball staff have been searching for post depth. They officially landed some more of it Tuesday afternoon.
Meghan Yarnevich, a 6-2 center from the class of 2025 who had originally signed with Georgia, has committed to LSU, she announced via her social media pages.

Her joining the Tigers now brings the team’s 2025 class to five players, with four officially signees in Divine guards Divine Bourrage, ZaKiyah Johnson, Bell Hines and combo player Grace Knox.
LSU’s 2025 signing class already ranked No. 1 in women’s basketball before Yarnevich coming on board. From the roster building standpoint, Mulkey needed a big in this class and she gets it late in the recruiting calendar with Yarnevich.

The Maryland native had been committed to Georgia for nearly a year and had other offers from Georgia Tech, Pitt, Cal, Georgetown, among others. Yarnevich announced her decommitment from the Bulldogs May 4 via her socials and within a week-and-a-half, she is joining LSU.
After losing Angel Reese and Aneesah Morrow to the WNBA to last two years as well as Sa’Myah Smith an Aalyah Del Rosario to the transfer portal following the conclusion of this season, depth inside the paint has been at the top of LSU staff’s priority list this offseason.
The Tigers have signed Notre Dame sophomore transfer forward Kate Koval and East Carolina graduate transfer Amiya Joyner for immediate pieces that project to play and start for LSU.
