LSU basketball set to host 5-star Louisiana forward for official visit

The Tigers will play host to one of the top prospects in the 2025 class later this fall.

LSU basketball and coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] are still looking for the first commitment in the 2025 cycle, but they’ll have the chance to sell one of the best players in the class who also happens to hail from the state of Louisiana.

[autotag]Chris Cenac[/autotag], a top-15 player nationally from the Link Academy in New Orleans, will take an official visit to Baton Rouge the weekend of Nov. 9, according to a report from On3’s Matthew Brune.

The Tigers are currently the slim favorite to land the 6-foot-10 power forward, according to the On3 recruiting prediction machine. Cenac previously visited Baton Rouge unofficially for last season’s upset win over Kentucky, and he’ll be in town for the weekend of the Alabama game this time around.

Cenac is a major priority for the Tigers and would give them a very talented player to build the class around.
