Luis Jr. one of several not on LSU's roster amid eligibility concerns

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- RJ Luis Jr. , the 2025 Big East player of the year who previously signed contracts with NBA teams, is not a member of LSU's 2026-27 team amid eligibility concerns, coach Will Wade said on Tuesday. Wade, who spoke to reporters via a video call after his flight to SEC media days was canceled due to dense fog, said his team will follow SEC "protocols," despite Luis winning a preliminary injunction in a Louisiana court that gave him clearance to play this season after signing multiple two-way deals in the NBA.
