Mjracle Sheppard is headed to her third college basketball program in as many years after the former LSU women’s basketball guard has decided to transfer to California, according to On3‘s Talia Goodman.
Last season with LSU, Sheppard averaged 3.9 points and 2.3 rebounds through 32 games. She scored in double figures in five games, and scored a season high 12 points in her first start of the season in the SEC tournament against Florida.
Sheppard, the No. 86-ranked player in the Class of 2023, according to HoopGurlz, started her career at Mississippi State. With the Bulldogs, she averaged 5.1 points and 2.1 assists per game. She scored a career high that freshman season with a 14-point output against Jacksonville State. She also snatched 7 steals against Kennesaw State. Sheppard scored in double figures in three games at Mississippi State.
Sheppard’s departure was a part of a significant overall for Kim Mulkey’s LSU roster. The team will only return five players next season: Flau’jae Johnson, Mikaylah Williams, Kailyn Gilbert, Jada Richard and Izzy Besselman.
Some key new additions for the Tigers include former South Carolina guard MiLaysia Fulwiley, Notre Dame forward Kate Koval, Eastern Carolina forward Amiya Joyner and three five-star 2025 recruits: wing Grace Knox, guard ZaKiyah Johnson and guard Divine Bourrage. Four-star signee guard Isabella Hines will also join the roster next season.
