LSU Lands Elite Transfer Guard | College Basketball News

LSU’s basketball future just got a major upgrade with the signing of UCLA transfer Donovan Dent, a senior guard averaging 13.3 points and 7.6 assists last season — and he’s got a fifth year of eligibility thanks to a temporary restraining order against the NCAA. Dent, who previously starred at New Mexico as a Mountain West Player of the Year, is expected to start at point guard immediately. He’s joining fellow UCLA transfer Skyy Clark, a seasoned starter with over 100 games under his belt, as LSU rounds out its 2026-27 roster with proven talent including Divine Ugochukwu, Abdi Bashir Jr., and Mouhamed Diabete. With eligibility decisions pending for international recruits and RJ Luis’ case looming, Coach Wade is assembling a loaded team poised to make noise next season.
