One of the best basketball players in the country for the class of 2024 has trimmed his list of potential schools down to four.

One of the best basketball players in the country for the class of 2024 has trimmed his list of potential schools down to four. The LSU Tigers made the cut.

[autotag]Rakease Passmore[/autotag] is a 6-foot-5, 180-pound, four-star small forward who is ranked as one of the top 50 players in the country for the 2024 recruiting class. He trimmed his final list of schools to four schools: LSU, Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma. Passmore is from Palatka, Florida, but he plays at Combine Academy in Asheville, North Carolina.

[autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] got his first commitment for the 2024 class on September 22nd as four-star power forward [autotag]Robert Miller III[/autotag] committed to the Tigers. Miller is another guy that is ranked in the top 50 nationally.

All of a sudden, LSU has gone from having zero commitments for the class to having possibly two guys in the top 50 nationally committing to playing in the Bayou. Hopefully, McMahon can get the job done.
