The Tigers continue to be one of the most active teams in the country in the transfer portal after a rough season in Baton Rouge that saw a large group of players depart following its conclusion.
LSU has already landed a couple of transfer commitments, and it could be making progress toward a few more. The Tigers will host Syracuse guard transfer [autotag]Joe Girard[/autotag] for an official visit this weekend.
A four-year starter for the Orange from Glens Falls, New York, Girard averaged a career-best 16.4 points this season. He averaged in double figures scoring three of his four years in central New York.

LSU has a lot of work to do to get back to being competitive in the SEC, but it’s clear [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is searching far and wide as he undergoes another rebuild.
