LSU Lands Talented Shooting Guard Rashad King, Adding to Impressive Transfer Portal Class
LSU men’s basketball continues to make waves in the transfer portal, securing a commitment from highly regarded shooting guard Rashad King. The 6-foot-4 guard, known for his elite scoring ability and perimeter shooting, adds another dynamic weapon to head coach Matt McMahon’s growing roster.
King, who averaged 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.1 assists last season, chose LSU over several high-major programs, citing the Tigers’ fast-paced system and player development track record as key factors in his decision. His ability to create his own shot and stretch the floor makes him a valuable addition to an LSU squad looking to make a statement in the SEC.
McMahon has been aggressive in reshaping LSU’s roster through the transfer portal, and King joins an already impressive class featuring versatile forward Jordan Mitchell and defensive-minded big man Malik Thompson. With these additions, LSU is positioning itself as a legitimate contender in the conference, blending veteran experience with young talent.
“LSU felt like the perfect place for me,” King said in a statement. “Coach McMahon believes in my game, and I’m excited to be part of something special in Baton Rouge.”
King’s arrival provides LSU with a proven scorer who can contribute immediately. His three-point shooting and ability to attack off the dribble will complement the Tigers’ offensive scheme. With the SEC becoming increasingly competitive, LSU’s aggressive approach in the transfer portal could prove crucial in their push for a deep postseason run.
As the offseason progresses, the Tigers may not be done adding talent, but with King’s commitment, LSU’s roster is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing in the conference.
