The turnover within the LSU basketball program continued on Friday.
Shortly after the Tigers landed a commitment from Nevada center transfer [autotag]Will Baker[/autotag], guard [autotag]Cam Hayes[/autotag] became the seventh player to enter the portal since the end of coach Matt McMahon’s first season.
A transfer addition last offseason from NC State, Hayes appeared in 31 games and made 18 starts. He averaged 8.1 points and 2.3 assists, but he shot just 40% from the field.
It was the best season of Hayes’ college career statistically, but he struggled with inconsistency. Still, he finished in double figures scoring in 12 games during his lone season in Baton Rouge.
LSU guard Cam Hayes has entered the NCAA Transfer Portal, per @JamieShaw5.

McMahon had to undergo a heavy rebuild when he took this job last offseason, and now it seems he’ll have to do so once again as he prepares to enter his second season at the helm. Luckily, the Tigers have already picked up a pair of wing transfers in [autotag]Jordan Wright[/autotag] from Vanderbilt and [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag] from Tulane, who returns to LSU after signing with the Tigers out of high school.
