"The official site lists guards Divine Ugochukwu, Abdi Bashir Jr., and Austin Nunez, plus forward Mouhamed Dioubate, for the 2026-27 season under coach Will Wade, who returned to LSU this year after coaching stints at McNeese State and NC State. Wade is focusing on transfers and international players pending NCAA eligibility review, reports suggest more players could join soon, with tough games like Gonzaga in November ahead."
LSU's men's basketball program roughly has $12.5 million for the 2026-27 season.
