The LSU Tigers are having an incredibly exciting year off the field as Lane Kiffin takes over at the helm of the football program, while Will Wade returns to coach LSU Basketball after his first era ended in scandal, leading to his firing. Both coaches are now in Baton Rouge for a reason as the results on the field haven't been nearly good enough leading to Brian Kelly and Matt McMahon's firing.
As LSU looks to get back to it's winning ways, the Tigers are going to need to start building better rosters. While Lane Kiffin and Will Wade love the Transfer Portal, both will also push to pick up major commitments via the High School ranks.
