Will Wade and the LSU coaching staff received some amazing news on Friday afternoon when five-star point guard Javonte Smart from Baton Rouge, LA announced his commitment to the Tigers.

Smart chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Florida State.

The 6-4, 185-pound prospect from Scotlandville Magnet HS is rated No. 6 point guard in the country and the No. 1 player from Louisianna for the class of 2018, according to 247Sports and ESPN.

Smart is LSU's first commitment for the class of 2018.

Kid got game, baw.

The look on coaches face says "I'm one of the baddest motha tuckers of all time." I love the confidence.

Bringing back the magic.

How's his paint ball game??

NamariTiger•105 months

Stfu , so what , the kid has swagger and a little cockiness to him. Last players to have that was Ben Simmons ,Marcus Thornton , Tyrus Thomas and Glen Davis . We need that fierce attitude and skills

catfish 62•105 months

Not really a fierce attitude to smack your fingers into your temple when you make a 3pointer, but OK

Vastmind•105 months

As far as celebrating goes, don't give a damn if he scratches his gouch after every shot. He might be another Chris Jackson and I don't know you youngsters remember what he did running down the court

lsu480•105 months

If he did that it would be so awesome

beantown•105 months

Oh this is that sign language kid, good pick up. Will be fun for deaf fans all around.

Womski•105 months

Dat dude out on fo his city

kjntgr•105 months

Does he ever make a shot and just go back and play D? Are his hand gestures a part of every made basket?

TygerDurden•105 months

That is quite annoying. Hey look at me! I did something great. Just play the damn game. Let that speak for you.

Nix to Twillie•105 months

Most of the time he does nothing. Watch it again.

Gumbo1•105 months

Boom! Welcome aboard to the GEAUX TIGER NATION Javonte!

LSU Patrick•105 months

Holy shite. Wade is killing it!

eddieray•105 months

I hope Javonte's Smart

catfish 62•105 months

What's with the lame little celebrations after every single play? Lol

chadzthename•105 months

I absolutely agree!

Nix to Twillie•105 months

Wait a minute-I thought Calipari could get any recruit he wanted to, from anywhere.

PhillyFan1994•105 months

Definitely not true that Cal gets any recruit he wants (see Andrew Wiggins in 2013), but honestly Javonte didn't have an offer from UK yet. UK has prioritized Immanuel Quickley from Maryland as their primary PG recruit in the 2018 class.

Lexman1•105 months

Great news after the arrests yesterday. The last time we got local recruits of this magnitude we did pretty good. I suspect more are on the way!

stewie•105 months

Yuge!!

YellaPurp•105 months

If only we could've did this with Football after 2011. Instead we held on to Les too long. Good hire Joe.

Prosecuted Collins•105 months

After an undefeated run to the ship?

OzChuffnugg•105 months

Hmmm...interesting thought here. Comparing an undefeated trip to the championship to one of the worst seasons in LSU basketball history. Not sure I get how they relate, but good get!

Mouthulcer•105 months

You sir/ma'am are an idiot.

God dammit coach Wade, u got me. Im all in now.

LSUTigerBait07•105 months

Kid is good. happy he's coming here, but dude acts like a prima donna in the clip.

RightWingTiger•105 months

I havent seen any other highlights of this kid but hopefully their not all like this one. If they are i think Wade will settle the younster down a tad and coach him up to be an all sec PG.

toratiger•105 months

Hold that TIGER!
