No. 9-ranked Reese Alston commits to LSU and gives Will Wade first five-star for 2027 recruiting cycle

No. 9-ranked recruit Reese Alston, son of former NBA player Rafer 'Skip 2 My Lou' Alston, has committed to LSU's basketball program for the 2027 recruiting cycle. The five-star prospect becomes the third member of LSU's 2027 class and the first five-star recruit landed by head coach Will Wade since his return to the program. Alston's commitment marks a significant early win for Wade in rebuilding LSU's recruiting pipeline.
