LSU football has added10 commitments this month. They’ve climbed to 17th in 247 sports national rankings. Four of the commitments are receivers and Preston Guy of Tiger-Bait-dot-com says LSU remains very much in the hunt for the nation’s top receiver, Brother Martin’s Easton Royal…
Cut 18 (15) “….would be bad”
Royal is a Texas commitment, but LSU is giving the five-star prospect something to think about.
The Pelicans used their only pick in the NBA draft to select St. Aug grad Jaron Pierre Junior in the second round. The New Orleans native averaged 18 points a game last season for S-M-U. In 2025, he was named the Conference USA Player of the Year as he averaged 22 points a game for Jacksonville State.

Division One college athletics has adopted an age-based eligibility model that will result in athletes having a five-year eligibility window. No more redshirting or waivers. The eligibility clock begins at either an athlete’s first semester in college or when they turn 19, which ever comes first.
It basically means, you can’t play college athletics if you are 24 years or older. LSU has received commitments from five overseas pros, four of whom are 22 or older. Hunt Palmer of ESPN Baton Rouge says their eligibility clock would have already started under the new rule.
