Friday was a big recruiting day for the LSU football and men’s basketball programs. Coach Les Miles received a verbal pledge from the state’s top ranked recruit, Warren Easton wide receiver Tyron Johnson. The six-foot-one, 190-pounder, caught 94 passes for 1,589 yards and 17 touchdowns this past season.

On the hardwood, five-star and the second ranked shooting guard in the country, Antonio Blakeney announced his plans to play at LSU. He joins the number one prospect in the country, Ben Simmons in LSU’s 2015 class.
