LSU will likely argue that the 2026-27 season marks Luis' fifth in a five-year window. But the Tigers' case will mirror that of former Alabama center Charles Bediako, who was ruled ineligible by the NCAA after returning from a multi-year G League stint to play for the Crimson Tide this past season.
Friendly court rulings briefly allowed Bediako to return to an Alabama uniform and see the court before the Alabama Supreme Court denied his request in February to continue playing. Luis would likely need significant and lasting judicial intervention to play for LSU.
Madar is a former second-round draft pick of the Boston Celtics in 2020. He is a high-end role player for Hapoel Tel Aviv of the EuroLeague and Israeli league. Given his advanced age -- Madar will turn 26 in December -- he would also face an uncertain path to collegiate eligibility.
Even if he gains eligibility and winds up at LSU, an investment of that magnitude in a player of Madar's caliber is a telling indication of where things stand for the Tigers. In 16 Israeli League games, Madar is averaging 11.1 points and 3.9 assists while shooting 33.9% from 3-point range. Statistically, he fits the mold of a solid collegiate role player more than a $5 million man.

So in summary, LSU has 7 players. Two will likely be ruled ineligible. They have spent over $10 million on them. Only three of the top 85 ranked transfer players remain unsigned.
Will Wade is killing it. And by it I mean LSU fans’ hopes and dreams.
