In what was seen as one of coach Matt McMahon’s biggest recruiting wins last offseason, he convinced freshman guard [autotag]Justice Williams[/autotag] to exit the transfer portal and return to LSU following the firing of coach [autotag]Will Wade[/autotag].
But after seeing a relatively small role on the court in 2022-23, Williams has entered the transfer portal once again. He becomes the fourth LSU player to announce his intention to transfer, joining [autotag]Justice Hill,[/autotag] [autotag]Kendal Coleman[/autotag] and [autotag]Corneilous Williams[/autotag].
Williams appeared in just 23 games as a sophomore this season, making seven starts and averaging 3.3 points, 1.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists. He missed five games early in the season due to injury and averaged just 15.7 minutes.
A former four-star recruit and top-60 prospect in the 2021 recruiting class, Williams is sure to see some interest in the portal.

Changes this offseason were expected after a frustrating Year 1 for McMahon, and it seems like it will be another year full of turnover for this program.
