The LSU Tigers women's basketball program has made a significant move to bolster its coaching staff, securing a key hire from the ACC. Head coach Kim Mulkey announced the addition of Fitzroy Anthony as an assistant coach, filling a crucial vacancy after the departure of two assistants to Rutgers.

Anthony arrives in Baton Rouge with an impressive resume built over 11 seasons with the Miami Hurricanes. During his tenure, Miami became a consistent force, making six NCAA Tournament appearances and recording six 20-win seasons. His eye for talent is undeniable, having developed 10 All-ACC players and two future WNBA draft picks.

His recruiting prowess is a major asset for LSU. As Miami's recruiting coordinator since 2021, he immediately signed two top-20 prospects. Anthony's deep roots in the talent-rich South Florida area, cultivated through stints at Florida Atlantic, Coral Springs Charter School, and the competitive AAU circuit, will be invaluable for the Tigers' future recruiting efforts.

Notably, Anthony's AAU experience includes coaching the Miami Suns in the prestigious Nike EYBL, a program sponsored by LSU legend Sylvia Fowles. This connection to the Tigers' storied history adds another layer to his fit within Coach Mulkey's championship-caliber program.

For a team with championship aspirations, securing a coach of Anthony's caliber is a strategic win. His proven track record in player development and recruiting in key regions signals LSU's intent to remain at the pinnacle of women's college basketball.
