LSU hoops makes the cut for 4-star point guard Nyk Lewis

The top-50 national prospect officially visited Baton Rouge in June.

LSU men’s basketball is still trying to land its first 2025 commit, but coach Matt McMahon and staff have now made the cut for yet another top prospect in the cycle.

On Thursday, four-star point guard [autotag]Nyk Lewis[/autotag] trimmed his list down to six teams, and the Tigers are a finalist alongside Creighton, Xavier, Seton Hall, Michigan and Georgetown.

Lewis ranks as the No. 36 overall player nationally and the No. 5 point guard. The Washington, D.C., prospect officially visited LSU back in June, and there are no clear favorites for him with Seton Hall holding just a slight lead according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine.

LSU has had a slow start to the cycle, but a commitment from a top 50 prospect would certainly give it quite a bit of momentum.

LSU basketball hosted top 40 point guard for visit Tuesday

The Tigers are still looking for their first commitment in the 2025 cycle.

LSU men’s basketball coach [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] is still looking to add the first commitment in his 2025 recruiting class, but it may be making progress toward that goal after a Tuesday visit with one of the cycle’s top prospects.

[autotag]Nyk Lewis[/autotag], a four-star Washington, D.C., prospect who ranks as the No. 38 player and No. 5 point guard nationally, is wrapping up his trip to Baton Rouge, and it seems LSU may have made an impression on the coveted prospect.

He previously visited Xavier last week, and he has upcoming visits set for Seton Hall and Michigan, which will take place later this month and in August, respectively.

High school recruiting has been a strength for McMahon so far, and he landed the No. 15 class in the 2024 cycle. While he has no commits right now, Lewis would be a nice start.

There are currently no crystal ball predictions to land him or clear favorites per the On3 recruiting prediction machine, though Xavier holds a slight lead.
