LSU Basketball Thread

LSU adds the #8 PF in the country this week with the commitment of Emmitt Williams bring LSU to #3 in the country and #1 in the SEC. Williams has been described as a "high energy" player who over the summer averaged 17.1 points and 11.3 rebounds while shooting 63.1 percent from the field and 48.3 percent from 3-point range. This commitment was expected much sooner, but he faced sexual battery and false imprisonment charges during the early signing period and teams backed off publicly. The charges have since been dropped.

Thus far they're adding PF Naz Reid, SG Ja'Vonte Smart and best friend of DB Kelvin Joseph), PF Darius Days and now PF Emmitt Williams to this recruiting class. PF Kavell Bigby-Williams is a transfer from Oregon that is sitting out this year and will play next year and there have been rumors of adding JUCO transfer C Yuat Alok. LSU is NOT going to get pushed around the paint next season.
