LSU Hoops Adds Commitment From Israeli Center Gilad Levy

LSU basketball coach Will Wade has added some serious size to his roster with a commitment from Israeli center Gilad Levy.

Levy, 24, is listed at 7-foot-3 and has spent the past several years playing professionally overseas. He most recently played for CB Palencia in Spain last season, averaging 1.8 points and 1.8 rebounds in just over five minutes per game.

The big man also has international experience with Israel, including an impressive showing at the 2022 FIBA U20 European Championship, where he averaged 15 points and nine rebounds while shooting 75 percent from the field.

Levy gives Wade another intriguing frontcourt option as LSU continues to build out its roster for the 2026-27 season.

His college eligibility, however, could be another situation to watch considering his previous professional experience overseas.
