LSU basketball picks up commitment from JUCO shooting guard: source says

LSU coach Will Wade added another piece to the 2018 signing class on Wednesday afternoon when junior college guard Marlon Taylor committed to the Tigers, a source confirmed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune.

JucoRecruiting.com first reported the news.

Taylor also had offers from Fresno State, Florida Atlantic, Xavier and Middle Tennessee State among others.

The 6-foot-6, 210-pound Taylor could play shooting guard, small forward or power forward for the Tigers next season but is likely to see time just at the 2- and 3-spots.

A native of Mount Vernon, New York, Taylor played one season of prep ball at Forest Trail Academy before signing with Panola Junior College in Carthage, Texas.
