LSU makes final 5 for 4-star 2025 shooting guard

LSU is a finalist for yet another top 2025 prospect.

[autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] and his coaching staff have found themselves in the top 5 for a four-star shooting guard in the 2025 recruiting class.

[autotag]Kayden Edwards[/autotag] is a 6-foot-3, 170-pound, four-star shooting guard from Fort Worth, Texas, where he plays for Duncanville High School. The Duncanville Panthers finished last season with a 19-10 record and with a loss to Wylie East in the playoffs.

LSU joins USC, Colorado, TCU and Oklahoma State in the top five for the talented shooting guard. There are no crystal ball projections for Edwards at this time but TCU is a 25% favorite to land him per On3’s recruiting prediction machine.

LSU currently does not have any commitments for the 2025 recruiting class in basketball but McMahon has the Tigers in the hunt for a lot of the top talent in the class. Edwards would be a great addition to the Tigers team but there is still some time before he signs his name to the dotted line.

One of the best players in the 2025 recruiting class is in LSU’s backyard. [autotag]Chris Cenac[/autotag] is a 6-foot-10, 230-pound, five-star Center from New Orleans where he played for Isidore Newman. He has since transferred to play for Link Academy in Branson, Missouri.

Recently, Cenac narrowed his list of final teams down to 12 and LSU made the list. LSU joins Arkansas, Alabama, Auburn, Baylor, UConn, Houston, Kentucky, Louisville, Michigan State, Tennessee and Texas in the list of finalists.

There are no crystal ball projections to land Cenac at this time but LSU is a 45% favorite to land him according to On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine. [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] has not secured any commitments from the 2025 recruiting class yet but Cenac would be an incredible pickup.

McMahon will be entering his third season on the Bayou this winter and his team improved a lot from year one to year two. We will see how much of a jump his team takes in year three.

Elite shooting guard recruit includes LSU in top 7

LSU is in the mix for one of 2025’s top point guards.

Matt McMahon’s rebuild of LSU basketball is trending up after strides were made on the court and on the recruiting trail last year. The progress is continuing as LSU remains involved with several blue-chips in the 2025 class.

One of those names is four-star guard [autotag]King Grace[/autotag], who included LSU in his top seven. The news was reported by 247Sports and Cincinnati, Mississippi State, Oklahoma, SMU, TCU and Texas A&M joined LSU.

According to 247Sports, King is the eighth-ranked point guard in his class. All four major recruiting services rank King as a top-100 overall prospect and a top 10 player in the state of Texas.

The 2025 recruiting cycle has yet to heat up, but in the last cycle, McMahon signed the No. 13 overall class. With LSU in the mix for prospects like King, the Tigers could finish in the top 15 again. The 2024 class was headlined by blue-chip guards [autotag]Vyctorius Miller[/autotag] and [autotag]Curtis Givens[/autotag].

LSU struggled with guard play early in McMahon’s tenure, so it’s promising to see the backcourt depth being built up. It’s tough to make a tournament run without a bonafide floor general running the point.

LSU basketball a finalist for 4-star power forward

LSU is still searching for its first commitment in the 2025 cycle.

LSU men’s basketball coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is still looking to get over the finish line with his first commitment in the 2025 cycle, but the Tigers are recruiting several targets hard and made the list of finalists for another on Tuesday.

Four-star Canton, Mississippi, power forward [autotag]Jamarion Davis-Fleming[/autotag] trimmed his list to four with LSU making the cut alongside in-state programs Ole Miss and Mississippi State as well as James Madison.

Davis-Fleming ranks just outside the top 100 nationally and is the top player in the state of Mississippi, according to On3.

Based on recent projections, LSU’s prospects don’t look great here. The Bulldogs are a heavy favorite, sitting at 99.9% according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine.

However, LSU still has some time to sway him after making his list of finalists.

Blue-chip men’s basketball recruit set to take official visit to LSU

Matt McMahon and LSU basketball are making progress on the recruiting trail with a four-star forward.

LSU basketball is picking up steam with a top-100 forward, according to On3. [autotag]A’Mare Bynum[/autotag] has locked in his official visits and LSU made the cut.

Bynum, a native of Nebraska, will visit LSU from September 27-29. The basketball program won’t have much going on that weekend, but it coincides with LSU football hosting South Alabama. A game in Death Valley should help to make a strong impression on Bynum.

Bynum told On3 he’s looking for a school where he can showcase his versatility as opposed to just playing on the block. LSU will have some stiff competition. The other schools on Bynum’s list are all in the midwest with LSU being the lone SEC program.

According to the On3 Prediction Machine. Nebraska is leading the way right now. On3 and 247Sports both rank Bynum as a top 100 player and top 15 at his position.

LSU’s recruiting saw an uptick under [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] last cycle. The Tigers finished with the No. 13 overall class in the country and a top-five class in the SEC.

McMahon signed three blue-chips in 2024 and if LSU takes another step on the court this year, he should sign more in 2025. Bynum’s name is one to watch in that regard.

Top 150 LSU basketball target set to announce commitment Wednesday

The Tigers could pick up their first commitment in the 2025 cycle on Wednesday evening.

LSU men’s basketball coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is still searching for his first commitment in the 2025 recruiting cycle, but that could be set to change on Wednesday.

Four-star power forward [autotag]Colt Langdon[/autotag] will announce his decision live on the On3 Recruits YouTube channel at 6 p.m. CT. The 6-foot-7 Millbrook (Raleigh, N.C.) prospect has narrowed his list of finalists down to LSU, Notre Dame and Butler.

Langdon ranks No. 123 nationally according to the On3 Industry Rankings and sits just outside the top 100 in On3’s own rankings. He recently discussed the Tigers with On3’s Joe Tipton.

“Coach (Ronnie) Hamilton talks with me almost every day,” he said. “I talk some with Coach (Casey) Long too. The head coach (Matt) McMahon calls me now almost every week. So they’re really consistent with their contact from the whole staff. I’m looking forward to taking another unofficial down there really soon.”

[autotag]Ronnie Hamilton[/autotag] has since left to be an assistant at Louisville.

Butler currently holds a crystal ball to land Langdon that was placed by 247Sports on Monday, but the Tigers are a slim favorite to land him according to the On3 recruiting prediction machine.
