LSUDad Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 One of LSU basketball's top commits has reclassified and will join the Tigers immediately BY PATRICK MAGEE | STAFF WRITER PUBLISHED AUG 20, 2021 AT 10:30 AM | UPDATED AUG 20, 2021 AT 11:19 AM LSU head coach Will Wade coaches against South Carolina, Saturday, January 16, 2021, at LSU's Pete Maravich Assembly Center in Baton Rouge, La. Patrick Magee Author email The LSU basketball program made a significant addition to its backcourt Friday with the announcement that Justice Williams, regarded as a top 2022 prospect, has reclassified and will be eligible to play during the 2021-22 season. Williams will be in classes when the semester starts Monday and start workouts for the new season, LSU announced Friday. Williams is a 6-foot-3 combo guard from Philadelphia who spent his junior season at Montverde Academy in Florida. “We were very excited when Justice committed earlier this summer and we knew there was an opportunity for him to enroll early,” LSU coach Will Wade said. “He is a combo guard who can score at all three levels and has great vision off ball screens. Justice is an extremely hard worker who has been a part of winning teams everywhere he has played. He will be a great fit with our team and program.” Williams, a four-star prospect, committed to the Tigers earlier this year over offers from Alabama, Auburn and UConn. He was rated the No.3 shooting guard in the Class of 2022 by 247Sports.com. "This will afford me the opportunity to develop my physicality on and off the court with high-level athletes on a proven SEC TEAM," Williams said in a tweet. "I'm looking forward to taking this next step that will prepare me for my ultimate goal of playing in the NBA." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
