Javonte Smart, one of the most coveted prospects in the 2018 college basketball recruiting class, announced Friday he's committed to LSU.
The point guard confirmed his choice of the Tigers on social media:
Smart is a 5-star prospect who ranks as the No. 17 overall recruit in the 2018 class, according to the Scout.com player rankings. He's also listed as the fourth-best point guard and the best player at the position from Louisiana among next year's incoming group.
The Scotlandville Magnet High School star has all the tools to become a high-impact player at the collegiate level and a potential lottery pick.
