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.

On3 is showing the following players for LSU:

Nunez (ASU->Ole Miss->ASU->UTSA->LSU)

Bashir Jr. (Monmouth->KSU->LSU)

Ugochuckwu (Miami->MSU->LSU)

Dioubate (Bama->Kentucky->LSU)

Vaughns (NBA Global Academy->LSU)

Luis (UMass->SJU->Utah Jazz->Boston Celtics->LSU)

Santos (NBB->Franca->Atlanta Hawks->ULM->Tel Aviv->LSU)

On3 ranks them as the #72 portal class and #88 recruiting class.

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.

Anthony Edwards (Georgia) has been in the NBA for six seasons.

He is younger than Santos.

Just slipped through the cracks for 8 years.

Imagine the culture shock going from Tel Aviv to Baton Rouge. But one thing will remain the same, he will still be surrounded by people who want to kill him.

"It's ok if it's my team that has a g league player"

College sports have turned into the wild west, of course Wade is going to test the limits, that is why he was fired the first time.

Willy, you’ve got it bad. Take a break. It’s not my fault LSU had the 15th best program in the big three sports this year.

He’s going to be ruled eligible in a court case held in Louisiana. Cry about it.
Yes, Louisiana version of the Trinidad Chambliss case.

We already got an LSU Alumnus Judge standing by and ready to go..
