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’s 2024 recruiting class finishes in the top 10

Matt McMahon continues to bring a lot of talent to Baton Rouge.

It’s been a slower rebuild through two seasons of the [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] era than many expected, but as we enter the 2024-25 season, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

McMahon has acquired quite a bit of talent, especially through the transfer portal, but he hasn’t neglected high school recruiting either. LSU’s four-man class in 2024 features three top-100 prospects, and that was good enough to finish as a top-10 group in ESPN’s rankings.

The headliners are power forward [autotag]Robert Miller[/autotag] (No. 72), point guard [autotag]Curtis Givens III[/autotag] (No. 75) and shooting guard [autotag]Vyctorius Miller[/autotag] (No. 76). The Tigers also added [autotag]Noah Boyed[/autotag], a power forward who ranks as the No. 4 JUCO transfer in the country.

After finishing with a losing record in Year 1, LSU was above .500 last season and earned an NIT bid. With a top-10 class coming in, the Tigers will be expected to take another leap this winter.

4-star Vyctorius Miller decommits from Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Ducks’ 2024 class is down to just one single player.

Vyctorius Miller, a four-star recruit in the Oregon Ducks’ 2024 men’s basketball recruiting class, has been released from his letter of intent with Oregon and has reopened his recruitment. This news comes less than a week after Oregon’s loss to Creighton in the round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament.

Miller is a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Arizona, where he attended the same high school as Oregon freshman Mookie Cook. With star guard Jermaine Couisnard moving on from college ball, the loss of Miller is a big one for the Ducks.

Before Miller’s decommitment, Oregon’s 2024 recruiting class was already much weaker than Dana Altman is used to. Now, Ibrahima Traore, a 3-star center is the Ducks only remaining commit in this year’s class.

To bolster the guard position, talent from the transfer portal is probably the Ducks’ best bet, since most high-level high school players are already locked up. Altman has a history of bringing in great transfers, so look out for whoever Oregon brings in.

It’s unclear where Miller will end up next season to start his college career, but before committing to Oregon, he took official visits with LSU, USC, and Cal. Enrolling at Arizona or Arizona State, his local schools, is also a possibility.

Ducks land 4-star SG Vyctorius Miller in 2024 class

Dana Altman and the Oregon Ducks landed a commitment from 4-star SG Vyctorius Miller on Wednesday night, the top player in their 2024 class.

DanaΒ  Altman landed a big win on Wednesday night, securing a commitment from 4-star shooting guard Vyctorius Miller, one of the top available players in the 2024 recruiting class.

Miller is rated as the No. 42 overall player in the class, and the No. 9 shooting guard. Coming from Chandler, Arizona, Miller stands at 6-foot-5, 175 pounds.

Ultimately, Miller chose the Ducks over LSU, Gonzaga, USC and the G-League Ignite.

Miller is the second member of Oregon’s small 2024 class, with C Ibrahima Traore signing with the team last week. It was not expected to be a big class with Oregon adding a pair of 5-star players in Kwame Evans and Jackson Shelstad, as well as 4-star Mookie Cook in the 2023 class.

LSU makes top five for 2024 top 50 shooting guard

Slowly but surely, the 2024 recruiting class is coming together.

A top 50 player in the 2024 recruiting class has trimmed his final list of schools down to five, and the LSU Tigers made the cut.

[autotag]Vyctorius Miller[/autotag] is a 6-foot-5, 170-pound, four-star shooting guard from Irvine, California where he plays for Crean Lutheran High School. The Crean Lutheran Saints finished last season 23-8 with a loss to Mater Dei in the second round of the CIF Division 1 playoffs.

The Saints start their 2023 season on November 16th as they look to win a state championship this winter. Miller trimmed his final list of schools down to LSU, USC, Oregon, Gonzaga, and the NBA G-League Ignite.

Miller does not have any crystal ball projections at this time but LSU is an 88% favorite to land him per On3. [autotag]Matt McMahon[/autotag] and the Tigers currently have two commitments for the 2024 class in four-star power forward [autotag]Robert Miller[/autotag] and four-star point guard [autotag]Curtis Givens[/autotag].

Slowly but surely, the 2024 recruiting class is coming together.
