It was only a matter of time but the LSU men’s basketball roster purge has begun.
Freshman guard Brandon Murray and senior guard Xavier Pinson have both reportedly entered their names into the NCAA Transfer Portal. They’re the first players from the 2021-2022 men’s team to enter their names into the portal in light of Will Wade’s dismissal.
Murray, a Baltimore native, played in 33 games with 32 starts and made the SEC’s All-Freshman team after averaging 10 points a game and leading LSU in minutes played. I’d expect Murray to transfer somewhere closer to home, likely Georgetown especially now that Kevin Nickelberry has been added to the Hoyas’ staff.
