LSU lands dynamic wing for third portal commitment

LSU is back on the board, adding Rashad King on Wednesday morning, a 6-foot-6 wing from Northeastern who averaged 18.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists this season as a junior.
King shot 45 percent from the field and 32 percent from 3-point range on high volume while playing 36.5 minutes per game as the best player on the team. He brings a strong frame and experience to Baton Rouge on the wing, a key position for the Tigers this offseason. King is originally from Evans, Georgia and was named to the All-CAA First Team this year.
Things are moving quickly for LSU as the staff hopes to fill out their roster in the coming weeks. Coming off of a disappointing season, there was an urgency to reload in the incredibly challenging SEC and LSU is doing just that.
The financial backing for McMahon has made a massive difference this offseason, firmly making the Tigers players in several transfer portal recruitments and we’ve already seen that pay dividends. LSU has been linked to other players as well that we’ve talked about throughout the past week on The Bengal Tiger.

Transfer portal background information
The NCAA Transfer Portal, which covers every NCAA sport at the Division I, II and III levels, is a private database with names of student-athletes who wish to transfer. It is not accessible to the public.
The process of entering the portal is done through a school’s compliance office. Once a player provides written notification of an intent to transfer, the office enters the player’s name in the database and everything is off and running. The compliance office has 48 hours to comply with the player’s request and that request cannot be refused.
Once a player’s name shows up in the portal, other schools can contact the player. Players can change their minds at any point and withdraw from the portal. However, once a player enters the portal, the current scholarship no longer has to be honored.
