It’s been a slower rebuild through two seasons of the [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] era than many expected, but as we enter the 2024-25 season, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic.
McMahon has acquired quite a bit of talent, especially through the transfer portal, but he hasn’t neglected high school recruiting either. LSU’s four-man class in 2024 features three top-100 prospects, and that was good enough to finish as a top-10 group in ESPN’s rankings.
The headliners are power forward [autotag]Robert Miller[/autotag] (No. 72), point guard [autotag]Curtis Givens III[/autotag] (No. 75) and shooting guard [autotag]Vyctorius Miller[/autotag] (No. 76). The Tigers also added [autotag]Noah Boyed[/autotag], a power forward who ranks as the No. 4 JUCO transfer in the country.

After finishing with a losing record in Year 1, LSU was above .500 last season and earned an NIT bid. With a top-10 class coming in, the Tigers will be expected to take another leap this winter.
