Aundre Hyatt was a top recruiting target for Steve Pikiell in the class of 2019, but the competition was fierce. The 6’6” forward had over a dozen high major offers and the Bronx native ultimately chose to begin his collegiate career at LSU.
After redshirting his first year in Baton Rouge, the former 3-star recruit played in 53 games over the previous two seasons, which includes starting 15 games last year. He averaged 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game for the Tigers.
While he only averaged 3.5 shot attempts per game, Hyatt established himself as a versatile player who was reliable and steady, rarely making mistakes.
