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.
Thought top-150 ‘25 @GonzagaHoops Nyk Lewis was great as an off-ball mover today. Quick cuts to the rim of timely lifts off penetration for CnS 3’s. 13PTS on 6 FGA’s along w/ 6REBS.
Departs for LSU tonight. Seton Hall later next week & Michigan on the docket in early Aug.

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.
