LSU makes cut for Five-Star Plus+ Chris Cenac's top 7 schools
Five-star Plus forward Chris Cenac has trimmed his list from 12 schools to seven on Wednesday night. The New Orleans native is the No. 7 player in the nation on On3’s Industry Rankings, shooting up after an outstanding stretch over the summer. Now, Cenac has began taking his official visits and has now further clarified his recruitment.
Cenac’s top seven schools are Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Houston, Kentucky, LSU, and Tennessee.
So far, Cenac has completed official visits to Houston, Auburn, Tennessee, and Kentucky. He has his official visit date to LSU set for Nov. 9 and plans to make his college decision by the end of November.
LSU’s recruitment
The Tigers have been recruiting Cenac longer than any other program, with him being from New Orleans and having made several unofficial visits before he left the state to play his senior season at Link Academy in Missouri.
LSU’s staff has made Cenac the No. 1 target on their board and has been in constant contact with him, but with his explosion over the summer, the Tigers now face hefty competition to keep the top player in Louisiana in the state. The staff has the late visit in November to help them bring it home, but there’s still a ways to go.
In a previous interview with On3’s Jamie Shaw, Chris Cenac discussed LSU.
“My relationship is good with the staff. The whole staff reaches out pretty much all the time. They’re still building their program. I want to see this year what they do this year, with the team they have. They have great facilities down there. How up to date their facilities are stood out to me.”

What he’s looking for in a school
In a previous interview with On3, Chris Cenac noted what he is looking for in his future college program.
“I’m looking for a school that will develop me the most and help me get to the next level,” he told Shaw. “I’ll want to have a great relationship with the coaches, trust there. And I’ll want to be looking for an NBA type system, spreading the floor, playing four or five out. I’m open to any school around the country really, location won’t matter.”
Cenac’s Scouting Report
“Chris Cenac has a great frame. It is projectable with long arms and natural fluidity. Cenac has good touch with good hands. He is a threat to step out and knock down a shot with his feet set. He needs to continue working on his balance and feet on the shot, but the release is consistent. Cenac is an excellent area rebounder. Making a concerted effort to high point and secure every board. He still needs strength, especially to his core and base. There is defensive upside. Cenac has a fluidity when he moves. He can open his hips and slide his feet. He also has natural timing around the rim. Now it is all about learning the angles, rotations, and footwork on that end. There is a high ceiling with Cenac as a lot of his tools translate to the highest levels of basketball. It is all about reps and development. He is still on the younger end for his 2025 class.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
