"Let’s goooooo," Stewart wrote.

Knox is ranked the sixth overall prospect in the Class of 2025 by ESPN. She forewent offers from the Texas Longhorns and the USC Trojans, discussing the faith she had in LSU coach Kim Mulkey while making her decision.

"I think I can go to the next level with the coaching of Kim Mulkey,” Knox told On3. "I think she has what it takes to take me to the next level and help me develop my bag. I think that another big reason is, along with all the schools, I could have great branding opportunities.
"I just feel like LSU exceeds the expectation as of right now in basketball. I feel like it’s the best place to be if you want to be branded correctly and for your name to be out there."

The addition of Knox strengthens the Tigers' 2025 signing class, which is currently the best in the nation. Besides Knox, their signing class also includes 12th overall prospect Divine Bourrage, 13th overall prospect ZaKiyah Johnson and 30th overall prospect Isabella Hines.
