Donovan Dent Joins LSU After NCAA Legal Win | College Basketball News

Donovan Dent, UCLA’s dynamic guard averaging 13.3 points and 7+ assists, is officially heading to LSU — a move that could anchor the Tigers’ backcourt for the 2026-27 season. His decision comes after a landmark NCAA legal battle granted him an extra year of eligibility. LSU’s coach Will Wade is already building around Dent, adding former UCLA teammate Skyy Clark and Big East Player of the Year RJ Luis Jr., who’s also awaiting NCAA clearance. The Tigers are also bringing in four international forwards, all on hold for eligibility approval. Dent’s journey? He played three years at New Mexico before UCLA, where he earned Mountain West Player of the Year honors — and now he’s coming back for one more run.
