LSU has contacted talented Georgetown transfer Primo Spears, per report
After a season that featured LSU’s first losing record overall since the final year under Johnny Jones in 2017 and an embarrassing 2-16 mark in SEC play, no one expected coach Matt McMahon to rest on his laurels entering Year 2.
In fact, the Tigers have undergone yet another campaign of offseason roster turnover. Four players have entered the portal since the conclusion of the season, and LSU has been in contact with several experienced transfers around the country.
The latest is Georgetown guard transfer Primo Spears, who LSU has reportedly been in contact with along with a litany of other power programs
The 6-foot-3 player out of Hartford, Connecticut, shined as a true freshman at Duquesne before transferring to the Hoyas, where he was even more productive as a sophomore in 2022-23.
Georgetown transfer Primo Spears has heard from the following schools since entering the portal, he tells @On3sports:

He averaged 16.0 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds, but following a frustrating season in Washington, D.C., that featured the firing of coach Patrick Ewing, Spears entered the portal.
A player of his caliber would be a major pickup for this LSU team, especially after losing starting point guard Justice Hill to the transfer portal.
