After a rough Year 1, [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is giving the rebuild another go.
LSU has been active in the portal and has reportedly been involved with several players. McMahon landed one of the best transfers of his tenure yesterday with the commitment of [autotag]Jalen Cook[/autotag].
Cook began his career at LSU before transferring to Tulane. He averaged 18 and 19.9 points in his two years with Tulane. In 2020-21 with LSU, Cook appeared in 20 games, averaging 3.2 points per contest.
This is a big get for the Tigers. LSU struggled to score last year and lacked a dynamic backcourt presence. In Cook, McMahon now has a guy that scored almost 20 points per night over two years against decent American Athletic Conference competition.
Cook also made 2.2 three-pointers per night with the Green Wave to go along with 4.2 assists and 1.7 steals. Cook was a three-star recruit in the class of 2020 and the second-best recruit from the state of Louisiana.
