The long-awaited return of Jalen Cook has finally arrived.
LSU head basketball coach Matt McMahon said that he expects Cook will be available to make his debut with the Tigers this Saturday against Texas.
This decision comes on the heels of a restraining order placed on the NCAA stating that for the next 14 days, any athlete who has transferred multiple times will become immediately eligible. Cook fits that mold as he started at LSU before transferring to Tulane and then back to LSU.
The Tigers need him in a bad way offensively. LSU has scored only 57 points and 60 points in their last two big games. That will not get the job done in SEC play. For a team that did not win a conference game last season, LSU must find a way to score.
Matt McMahon says he expects to have transfer guard Jalen Cook available for LSU’s game against Texas on Saturday.
Says there was confusion throughout the day, but Cook will have two days to prepare for the game.
