LSU has secured a commitment from highly regarded point guard Reese Alston for the 2027 recruiting cycle. Both outlets report that the move adds another top-25 prospect to coach Will Wade’s incoming group, with CBS Sports also noting Alston is the first five-star Wade has landed since returning.
The two reports describe Alston’s background as the son of Rafer “Skip 2 My Lou” Alston, a former NBA player and known streetball figure. ESPN frames the announcement around LSU landing Alston as a “prized” recruit and highlights that he becomes Wade’s third top-25 recruit in the 2027 class. CBS Sports additionally emphasizes Alston’s national ranking and positions him as LSU’s first five-star for that cycle, while still stating he is the third member of the 2027 class.
