Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
Will Wade and the LSU coaching staff received some amazing news on Friday afternoon when five-star point guard Javonte Smart from Baton Rouge, LA announced his commitment to the Tigers.

Smart chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Florida State.

The 6-4, 185-pound prospect from Scotlandville Magnet HS is rated No. 6 point guard in the country and the No. 1 player from Louisianna for the class of 2018, according to 247Sports and ESPN.

Smart is LSU's first commitment for the class of 2018.


Here are some highlights from his junior season:

Will Wade is freaking killing it. Really, really excited about LSU basketball again after a few years of lethargic, emotionless leadership.

"Smart chose the Tigers over Kentucky, Kansas, UCLA, Oklahoma State and Florida State." Damn, that's a huge win.

Wait a minute-I thought Calipari could get any recruit he wanted to, from anywhere.

Definitely not true that Cal gets any recruit he wants (see Andrew Wiggins in 2013), but honestly Javonte didn't have an offer from UK yet. UK has prioritized Immanuel Quickley from Maryland as their primary PG recruit in the 2018 class.
