LSU makes the final four for 2024 top 25 shooting guard Billy Richmond

The Tigers have already pulled off one major surprise this cycle, and they’ll look for another as Kentucky is the heavy favorite for Billy Richmond.

LSU’s men’s basketball team already has two commitments in the 2024 recruiting class, both of which rank in the top 100.

The Tigers currently have a top-20 class, but that ranking could rise even more if [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] can land some of the top players he has the team in the mix for, namely four-star shooting guard [autotag]Billy Richmond[/autotag].

Richmond ranks as a top-25 overall prospect in the country, and the Camden, New Jersey, prospect trimmed his list of schools down to four on Wednesday, per On3’s Joe Tipton: LSU, Kentucky, Alabama and Memphis.

There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Richmond, but Kentucky is the heavy favorite per On3 at 87.4% to land him. LSU has the lowest odds of the finalists at just 2.6%.

McMahon has already pulled off one major surprise in this cycle, stealing [autotag]Curtis Givens III[/autotag] from Memphis, and he’ll look to pull off another heist with a player conference rival Kentucky and John Calipari covet.
