Overview
- LSU announced it has added former Tennessee assistant Gabe Lazo to Kim Mulkey’s bench, bringing in a coach known for top-tier recruiting and detailed scouting.
- He steps into a role opened when Gary Redus II left to become Rutgers’ head coach, and Daphne Mitchell also departed LSU to join Redus.
- LSU still has a second assistant spot to fill after Mitchell’s exit, with Lazo covering one of the two vacancies on the Tigers’ staff.
- Tennessee replaced Lazo by hiring Bill Ferrara from Florida State, continuing a swift round of offseason staff changes across major programs.
- At Tennessee, players credited Lazo as their lead recruiter for a freshman class ranked the program’s best since 2017, and reporting says he drew interest from other Power programs and the UCF head job.
