Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
LSU men's basketball coach Matt McMahon landed a big transfer commitment on Thursday from Kentucky forward Daimion Collins.

The 6-9, 210-pound sophomore forward from Atlanta, Texas, spent the past two seasons at Kentucky but did not see much playing time. He averaged just 1.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 25 games coming off the bench.

Collins is a former five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American.

Collins is the fifth transfer to join the program this offseason joining Carlos Stewart (Santa Clara), Will Baker (Nevada), Jordan Wright (Vanderbilt), and Jalen Cook (Tulane).

At 6'9" with his arm length he should be a rebounding machine

People bitching about him signing a former 5 star Mcdonalds All American. The stupidity never ceases to amaze me.

LSU basketball now building with top guys that didnt pan out and have decided to transfer. In the meantime Women's team getting transfers that are top notch wanting to win championships.
