The five-star recruit was mulling over multiple offers from top-tier programs such as Kansas, North Carolina and Virginia.
“Efton will make an immediate impact for us on both ends of the court,” said head basketball coach Will Wade in a press release. “He is very skilled on the offensive end. Efton has tremendous touch and footwork around the rim to pair with an expanding perimeter game. Defensively, his size and length will give us the rim protection that we need. We are very excited to welcome Efton, Maria and Alex to the LSU family!”
For LSU basketball, it’s an exciting time to get recruits into the building as it works toward getting back to the Final Four for the first time since 2006.
