Hailey Van Lith is arguably one of the best female college basketball players around today. She has several years of experience playing the sport as well. Lith represented Team USA in four FIBA Tournaments between 2018 and 2019 winning the gold medal each time. The point guard from the University of Louisville is also very talented in scoring proficiently.
In high school, she recorded the first-ever quadruple-double in Cashmere’s basketball program history. Her stat line in high school was 24.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.3 assists as well as 3.8 steals per game. Hailey Van Lith was close to unstoppable at one point. She led Cashmere high school to the Class A1 State title averaging those numbers, as a freshman.
Lith was also named Gatorade Player of the Year as a junior in high school averaging 34.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game. She eventually became a five-star recruit who committed to Louisville over various other decorated institutions. Lith also had offers come from several other sports programs. Right now, after three years with Louisville, she has entered the transfer portal.

After entering the transfer portal, there were several rumors about Lith potentially joining Clark in Iowa. But it turns out Hailey recently paid a visit to Louisiana State University. The Tigers are currently coached by legendary NCAA coach Kim Mulkey, who helped her team win the title against the Hawkeyes. Lith currently has her eyes on the prize as well which is why she visited LSU.

2023 NCAA Champion, Angel Reese sent out a very cryptic tweet after Lith visited LSU. She tweeted the emoticon of a face with one eye peeking through its hand. Even though that’s all the tweet said, he could have been about Lith’s visit. If they both end up in the same team, the Tigers will have another shot at winning the title. Lith will certainly be a boost on offense while Reese worked in the post and on defense.
