RJ Luis - Eligible to play once again Luis is eligible to play college basketball for LSU once again after the SEC decided to comply with the NCAA and their ruling to allow state's court ordered temporary restraining o...

Impact Luis will be able to suit up for the Tigers this upcoming season due to this ruling, paving the way for his fourth season of college hoops. The 6-foot-7 forward previously signed a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz but decided to return to the college ranks. In his last college season with St. John's in 2024-25, he was a prolific scorer, averaging 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per game. He will now look to compete for a starting role in LSU's frontcourt without the distraction of ongoing eligibility questions.

Former Celtics, Jazz Player RJ Luis Jr. Cleared By Judge To Play For LSU

RJ Luis - Eligible for 2026-27 Luis has been granted eligibility for the 2026-27 season, per On3.

Impact Luis, who committed to LSU back in May, has been granted eligibility for the 2026-27 campaign through a preliminary injunction. He previously signed a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz, effectively joining the professional ranks, but he'll now return to school for what will be his fourth year of college hoops. The 6-f7 forward Luis was a problem at St. John's last season, averaging 18.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals on 44/75/34 shooting splits.

Donovan Dent - Picks LSU Dent will transfer to LSU, per Joe Tipton of On3.com.

Impact The point guard has had a wild summer. Dent announced his retirement from basketball, only to re-enter the transfer portal when it became clear he could secure a fifth year of eligibility -- and another NIL paycheck. The former New Mexico and UCLA standout is coming off a solid season with the Bruins in which he averaged 13.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.7 steals. His efficiency took a dip, as he posted 41/25/66 shooting splits, but he still immediately raises LSU's floor and ceiling as one of the most experienced, dynamic point guards in the sport.
