LSU head coach Will Wade is set to begin his fourth season in Baton Rouge; Wade has plenty of talent on the 2020-21 team with several key players returning, in addition to a top-10 recruiting class.
The Tigers also get the services of 6-foot-10 forward Shareef O’Neal, a transfer from UCLA and the son of LSU legend Shaquille O’Neal.
LSU finished 21-10 last season, with a 12-6 mark in SEC play.
