Former St. John's guard RJ Luis Jr. has committed to LSU, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

The Miami native began his career at UMass before transferring to St. John's for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 seasons. He started in 32 games during the 2024-25 season, averaging 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds, and was named the Big East Player of the Year.

Luis Jr. went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft and signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz, and then was traded to the Boston Celtics. He was waived before the start of the season and signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Celtics' NBA G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics.

Now, he's headed to Baton Rouge but will need to go through the eligibility process.

Can you sign an NBA free agent to a college roster if they have eligibility left?

I don't imagine they'd be chopping it up if not.

Gotta feel bad for the multiple classes of HS kids who have no chance at making a D1 roster these days

I think all players should be allowed to go back to college to play if they went undrafted. They should do away with the "forfeited eligibility" status. With the increased scholarship numbers in football, teams have the room if needed. Now if they naturally ran out of eligibility and had to go pro or into the job market, that's different.
