It took a whole seven weeks for Will Wade to attempt to skirt NCAA rules in his return to LSU.
Former St. John’s wing RJ Luis Jr., who went undrafted in the 2025 NBA draft, signed with Wade and LSU for the 2026–27 season, according to multiple reports. Luis, who signed two-way contracts with both the Celtics and Jazz in the last year, will almost assuredly be ruled ineligible by the NCAA to return to college after a one-year hiatus. But that didn’t talk Wade, of “strong-ass offer” fame, out of moving forward with the recruitment. Luis likely will file a lawsuit against the NCAA in an attempt to be allowed to play the 2026–27 season, the last year in his five-year eligibility clock.
