Will Wade has likely picked up his most consequential signee for his first transfer portal class since returning to LSU.

TigerBait has confirmed that former professional guard RJ Luis Jr. has signed with LSU.

The 6-foot-7 guard started his collegiate career at UMass before transferring to St. Johns, where he was named Big East player of the year in 2025

He averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds for the Red Storm during the 2024-25 season.

From wiki on his pro career.

On June 26, 2025 after being undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, Luis signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz. On August 6, Luis was traded alongside an $8 million trade exception to the Boston Celtics in exchange for Georges Niang and two future second-round draft picks. He was waived on October 15, before the start of the season. Following his cut, Luis signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Celtics' NBA G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics.
