I came here to read about it and was surprised to see there wasn't a thread about it, unless I am overlooking it, but I even searched and nothing came up.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
Johnny Jones has received his first commitment as head coach of LSU, a week after taking over the Tiger basketball team.

According to ESPN's Gary Laney, the new head coach secured a letter of intent from Shavon Coleman, a Howard College and former Thibodaux High School basketball star.

The 6'6", 195 pound Coleman will help fill a big void for the Tigers after the departures of Storm Warren and Justin Hamilton.

Coleman averaged 14.6 points and 6.8 rebounds as a sophomore for Howard.

Coleman was being recruited by LSU, Oregon State, Oklahoma and Texas Tech, among others.

Coleman is the 8th ranked juco player. Hammink signed too, a top euro prospect.

To me it is damn impressive that Jones comes in this late and turns this class around. Developing recruits takes years and he comes in after national signing day and picks up a couple of guys that should be able to contribute this late? I think we are in for some talent to start coming back to Baton Rouge for basketball.
