Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Will Wade and the LSU coaching staff received some amazing news on Friday afternoon when five-star point guard Javonte Smart from Baton Rouge, LA announced his commitment to the Tigers.

Smart chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Florida State.

The 6-4, 185-pound prospect from Scotlandville Magnet HS is rated No. 6 point guard in the country and the No. 1 player from Louisianna for the class of 2018, according to 247Sports and ESPN.

Smart is LSU's first commitment for the class of 2018.

"Smart chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Florida State." Damn, that's a huge win.

Coach just had to tell him he would let him throw as many gang signs as he wanted and the kid was ready to sign

lsu480 showing how fricking stupid he is

eddieray•82 months

This signing may encourage a few more top prospects to consider LSU for 2018

Will Wade is freaking killing it. Really, really excited about LSU basketball again after a few years of lethargic, emotionless leadership.

Hold that TIGER!

Kid is good. happy he's coming here, but dude acts like a prima donna in the clip.

RightWingTiger•82 months

I havent seen any other highlights of this kid but hopefully their not all like this one. If they are i think Wade will settle the younster down a tad and coach him up to be an all sec PG.

Freddy238•82 months

God dammit coach Wade, u got me. Im all in now.

If only we could've did this with Football after 2011. Instead we held on to Les too long. Good hire Joe.

After an undefeated run to the ship?

OzChuffnugg•82 months

Hmmm...interesting thought here. Comparing an undefeated trip to the championship to one of the worst seasons in LSU basketball history. Not sure I get how they relate, but good get!

Yuge!!

Great news after the arrests yesterday. The last time we got local recruits of this magnitude we did pretty good. I suspect more are on the way!

Nix to Twillie•82 months

Wait a minute-I thought Calipari could get any recruit he wanted to, from anywhere.

PhillyFan1994•82 months

Definitely not true that Cal gets any recruit he wants (see Andrew Wiggins in 2013), but honestly Javonte didn't have an offer from UK yet. UK has prioritized Immanuel Quickley from Maryland as their primary PG recruit in the 2018 class.

catfish 62•82 months

What's with the lame little celebrations after every single play? Lol

chadzthename•82 months

I absolutely agree!

eddieray•82 months

I hope Javonte's Smart
