Days signed with the Tigers on Wednesday morning
LSU men’s basketball coach Will Wade’s first official signee of the 2018 signing class was IMG Academy forward Darius Days, who signed with the Tigers on Wednesday morning during the first day of the NCAA early signing period.
The 6-foot-7 Days is a consensus four-star prospect and is rated No. 58 in the country by 247 Sports, No. 60 by Rivals and No. 61 by ESPN.
Days played at The Rock School in Gainesville as a junior and averaged 18.6 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.6 steals and just under a block a game while shooting 47.3 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from three-point range and 82.1 percent from the free-throw line.
He transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season.
“We have received the letter-of-intent for Darius Days and are excited to have him joining the LSU program for the 2018-19 season,” Will Wade said in a press release. “(Assistant Coach) Greg Heiar did a great job developing a relationship with Darius and his family during the recruiting process.
“Darius is a gifted scorer and shooter from range. He has shown his ability to handle the ball in several different positions at his high school and we know he has a work ethic that will fit in with what we are trying to do here at LSU.”
Days joined Scotlandville point guard Ja’Vonte Smart as official signees for the Class of 2018 for LSU.
The Tigers’ class will receive another boost on Monday when LSU will get the national letter of intent for Roselle Catholic (N. J.) power forward Naz Reid, a five-star prospect.
LSU’s class is currently ranked No. 3 in the country by 247 Sports.
