Former LSU basketball guard [autotag]Cam Hayes[/autotag] is returning to his home state of North Carolina.
The Greensboro native announced his commitment to East Carolina on Tuesday. He will have one remaining year of eligibility with the Pirates.
A 6-foot-2 player who started his career at NC State, Hayes transferred to LSU after two seasons and was one of the biggest transfer commitments for new coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] last offseason. He appeared in 31 games for the Tigers this season, making 18 starts.
Statistically, it was the most productive of his career as he averaged 8.1 points and shot 40% from the floor, both the best marks he’s had in college.

However, he decided to follow many of his teammates into the portal following a disappointing Year 1 under McMahon. He’s one of seven players to enter the transfer portal since the conclusion of the season.
