Whether you like the transfer portal era or not, if you're an LSU fan you have to like the way the Tigers have been active in it as promised so far this cycle. Wednesday, LSU picked up its third prospect with the addition of Rashad King, a 6-6 guard from Northeastern. King joins Mississippi State center Michael Nwoko and UNLV point guard Dedan Thomas as transfer portal additions for the Tigers. Of course, the portal works both ways. Wednesday, the LSU women lost their second at least part-time starter, as veteran point guard Last-Tear Poa announced her intentions to leave the program.
