The LSU Tigers are scheduled to begin their 2020-21 men’s basketball season this month as they compete in the Golden Window Classic.

However, before the Tigers compete in that three-day event, the early signing period begins for current high school basketball players.

In the 2021 class, the Tigers currently have one player signed in center Bradley Ezewiro. Ezewiro was actually a member of the 2020 class but reclassified to 2021.

LSU also has commitments from forward Alex Fudge, center Jerrell Colbert and guard Brandon Murray. The Tigers’ class is currently ranked No. 10 in 2021, according to 247Sports.

The Tigers and head coach Will Wade may not be done. Four-star center Roosevelt Wheeler of John Marshall High in Richmond, Va., is the highest-rated player who is expected to sign early, according to Matthew Bain of USA TODAY Sports.

Wheeler has the Tigers among his top-five schools.

The 6-foot-10 Wheeler is also considering Louisville, VCU, North Carolina State and Hampton.

Wheeler is the No. 60 overall player in 2021, per 247Sports.

The early signing period begins on Nov. 11 and ends on Nov. 18.
