LSU lands commitment from Northwestern State transfer, first addition of Matt McMahon era
LSU is undergoing a significant roster rebuild this offseason. Coach Will Wade has been fired and replaced with new coach Matt McMahon.
With possible NCAA sanctions looming like a dark cloud over the program, some players have entered the transfer portal and LSU’s recruiting classes have been completely depleted.
But, there’s some good news for McMahon. On Monday night, the Tigers landed a commitment from Northwestern State big man Kendal Coleman. Coleman announced his decision via Twitter:
