Hailey Van Lith is becoming increasingly popular with college basketball fans and her latest appearance on the court offers an explanation as to why she is tipped for a big future in the WNBA.

The 22-year-old has already proven she is not afraid to stir the pot after making the switch between the University of Louisiana and Louisiana State last summer, joining the likes of Angel Reese and Mikayla Williams on the LSU Tigers roster.

However, her transfer from one side of the state to the other has produced conflicting results in a turbulent campaign for the Tigers.

Reports of in-fighting between team-mates and head coach Kim Mulkey have only added some fuel to the fire, and yet the Tigers could still clinch the title this season.

Van Lith may not be as well-renowned in the NCAA as Reese, who is known as the ‘Bayou Barbie’ due to her lucrative endorsement deals and Baton Rogue upbringing.

But she is still a popular figure with the fans at least, and her most recent viral video sent them into fits of laughter.

During an in-game team talk with her coach, Van Lith looked bewildered and confused as Mulkey ran through the instructions on her clipboard.

Fans noticed the footage on social media and reacted with hilarity, claiming she had ‘no idea’ what to do with the tactics her coach had prepared.

It is safe to say Van Lith is not a shy character after posting images on her social media accounts.

And the fans clearly love keeping up to date, as Van Lith now has 941,000 followers on Instagram, edging ever closer to the one million landmark.

Van Lith prefers to spend her free time traveling abroad, recently posting images from her vacation in Italy, and attending boat parties wearing bikinis that leave little to the imagination.

But after her forgettable moment during the game, and LSU’s recent back-to-back defeats to Mississippi State and South Carolina, she will be hoping to put things right against Florida on February 4.
