It was a bit of a slow start on the recruiting trail in 2025 for [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] and the LSU men’s basketball team, but they’re closing strong.
The Tigers added a commitment from four-star point guard [autotag]Jalen Reece[/autotag] on Wednesday night over Cincinnati and Providence. The No. 65 player nationally and No. 10 point guard per the 247Sports composite rankings, Reece hails from Oak Ridge High School in Orlando.
The Florida native becomes the third player to join LSU’s 2025 recruiting class alongside power forward [autotag]Matt Gilhool[/autotag] and shooting guard [autotag]Mazi Mosley[/autotag]. All three players rank inside the top 100 nationally, and LSU’s class currently ranks second.
After a disappointing Year 1, the Tigers closed strong to finish 17-16 in 2023-24 including a 9-9 mark in SEC play to earn an NIT bid. Now, McMahon is hoping to push for an NCAA Tournament bid in Year 3.
