LSU has formally added four players to its official men’s basketball roster for the 2026-27 season, the school says. The players are Kansas State transfer Abdi Bashir, Kentucky transfer Mo Dioubate, UTSA transfer Austin Nunez, and Michigan State transfer Divine Ugochukwu. LSU reports that the four players are now enrolled and on campus as coach Will Wade prepares for his first season back with the Tigers in his second stint.
The roster announcements come shortly after related developments involving Wade’s move from N.C. State. Yahoo Sports reports that N.C. State confirms it is investigating potential legal claims concerning how LSU recruited Wade away from the Wolfpack. Taken together, the sources indicate LSU is moving forward with roster formation while the prior coaching transition remains under scrutiny.
Overall, LSU’s announcements focus on player signings and enrollment status for the upcoming season, while another outlet highlights that N.C. State is examining possible legal issues connected to Wade’s departure.
