LSU Women's Basketball Assistant Coach Gary Redus II Lands Head Coaching Job In Big Ten

LSU women's basketball assistant coach Gary Redus II is expected to be named the new Rutgers women’s basketball head coach, according to multiple reports.

Redus has spent the last four seasons as an assistant under Kim Mulkey and is regarded as one of the top recruiters in women's college basketball. Per LSU bio:

Redus is an up-and-coming assistant coach and recruiter who was named to the 2020 WBCA “Thirty Under 30” list. Known for his elite skill in identifying and securing talent, Redus has been a crucial piece to the Tigers’ success since coming aboard. For the second time since he arrived, Redus helped recruit the unanimous No. 1 freshman class that included all five-stars (Bella Hines, Divine Bourrage, Grace Knox, and ZaKiyah Johnson).

In his first season at LSU, Redus made an immediate impact. He quickly helped the Tigers secure ESPN’s top ranked recruiting class during his first fall in Baton Rouge. He worked closely with LSU’s guards every day in practice who developed into a lethal group that could run the offense, score at all three levels and defend at a high level. His first-year contributions helped LSU find its stride as one of the nation’s top teams. The 2023 season marked Redus’ first year during his coaching career in which he reached the NCAA Tournament, but the Tigers were poised to do more as he helped lead them to their first national championship victory.

Prior to his time at LSU, Redus was an assistant at SMU, Vanderbilt, and Delta State.
