LSU got active in the transfer portal yet again this year.
[autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag], who’s entering the second year of his rebuild, didn’t really have a choice. LSU lost a lot itself, and the Tigers need to add more talent as McMahon looks to mold the team in his image.
On3 named LSU a winner of the transfer period. The Tigers added [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag], [autotag]Will Baker[/autotag], [autotag]Carlos Stewart[/autotag], [autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag] and [autotag]Hunter Dean[/autotag].
Four of those five averaged double-digit scoring at their previous stop last season. Dean, the lone player below that mark, still averaged 8.7 points and 6.1 rebounds.
LSU’s getting much-needed production across the board.
On3 mentions that much of McMahon’s new talent is native to Louisiana. That could help LSU establish an identity within the state.
The most intriguing player in this class is the point guard, Cook.
The guard began his career at LSU under [autotag]Will Wade[/autotag] before flourishing at Tulane last year, where he averaged 19.9 points and 4.9 assists.
