Kentucky transfer Daimion Collins commits to LSU

Former Kentucky forward Daimion Collins will be transferring closer to home, but it won’t be in Texas. Instead, he’ll be joining another SEC program less than five hours away from his hometown, committing to LSU and head coach Matt McMahon.

The former five-star recruit chose the Tigers on Thursday, announcing his decision through On3’s Joe Tipton.

The 6-foot-9, 210-pound sophomore averaged 1.9 points and 1.9 rebounds in 2022-23 after putting up 2.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per contest as a freshman in 2021-22. He never averaged more than 7.
