After a frustrating first season for the Tigers under coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag], it was expected to be an offseason of change. That has been the case so far as LSU lost starting point guard [autotag]Justice Hill[/autotag] to the transfer portal, and he’s been joined by a depth player in the frontcourt.
Center [autotag]Kendal Coleman[/autotag] will be heading elsewhere after one season in Baton Rouge. A transfer addition last offseason from Northwestern State, Coleman averaged a double-double in 2021-22 but couldn’t carry that success to the SEC.
He averaged just eight minutes per game this season with just 2.3 points and 2.1 rebounds, and he’ll hope he can get a bigger opportunity elsewhere. His departure puts a lot of impetus on the development of younger players in the frontcourt like [autotag]Jalen Reed[/autotag] and [autotag]Shawn Phillips[/autotag].
