Top 100 power forward sets September official visit with LSU

LSU will play host to Matt Gilhool in September as it looks to land its first 2025 commitment.

LSU’s quest for its first commitment in the 2025 men’s basketball recruiting class continues, but it remains in contention for several of its top targets and will soon play host to one of them for an official visit.

The Tigers made the list of finalists for four-star power forward [autotag]Matt Gilhool[/autotag], who ranks as the No. 77 player nationally. Gilhool has now set a trio of official visits starting with Georgia Tech (Aug. 31), followed by LSU (Sept. 7) and Iowa (Sept. 14), according to On3.

Gilhool already took an official visit to Syracuse last October. On3 currently considers the Orange the favorite, though they aren’t among his top seven.

LSU seems to have some ground to make up with the Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania, prospect, but it will have the chance to do so when it plays host to him in the fall.
