While LSU has gone all out in the transfer portal, quickly reloading the roster, several of LSU's transfer portal entries have yet to find their next landing spot. Vyctorius Miller has landed at Oklahoma State, and Corey Chest is stuck in the SEC, signing with Ole Miss, but Tyrell Ward, Mike Williams III, Noah Boyde, and Daimion Collins are all yet to find their next school.
The most interesting player to follow from LSU's roster this offseason is Tyrell Ward and where he'll end up signing. Prior to LSU Basketball's season opener, Ward was revealed to be missing the season as he stepped away to focus on his mental health. After the season it wasn't a surprise that Ward would transfer but, it was interesting to see where he may end up.
On Saturday, Tyrell Ward revealed the schools recruiting him the hardest and the former Tigers may end up playing for another former Tiger.
LSU transfer Tyrell Ward is hearing from these schools consistently, he tells @LeagueRDY:

While West Virginia, Indiana, Maryland, Virginia, and VCU all recruiting Tyrell Ward is notable, the NC State Wolfpack are the most interesting. After being let go by LSU, Will Wade coached at McNeese State for two seasons, winning an NCAA Tournament game this season. After his run with the McNeese State Cowboys, Will Wade returned to the Power 4 becoming the next head coach at NC State.
Tyrell Ward never played for Will Wade but, the two former LSU Tigers teaming up would be very interesting. The former 5-star recruit took a massive step after his Freshman year averaging 9.1 points per game finishing his Sophomore season with an incredible final 12 games. If Tyrell Ward can remain the same player he's shown to be after taking a year off, it'll be a massive addition for Will Wade and it could be Ward's best season yet.
