LSU’s men’s basketball team is still in search of the first commitment in the 2024, but it made the cut for yet another prospect in three-star point guard [autotag]Elijah Crawford[/autotag].
The Augusta, Georgia, native trimmed his list down to six schools: LSU, Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina, Stanford and UCF. He also announced that he will be transferring to Brewster Academy in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, for his senior season, per On3.
Crawford has his first official visit set with Stanford from Oct. 6-8. He also plans to officially visit Georgia, South Carolina and UCF, and he’s taken unofficial visits with the Tigers and Gamecocks.
At this time these are the schools I want to focus on meanwhile still being OPEN to allowing other universities to recruit me as well, so at this time these are the six schools I feel have prioritized me the most. pic.twitter.com/T1Ju3Ig1qL

“What I like about LSU is the beautiful campus! When I went on my visit I fell in love with the campus,” Crawford said. “Coach Mac also lets his guards GO which is also a great thing. I feel like I’d have the opportunity to go in there and help impact.”
Stanford is the favorite for the top-200 prospect according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, followed by South Carolina and then LSU. But coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] will hope to make up some ground as he searches for a 2024 pledge.
