RJ Luis, the 2025 Big East Player of the Year at St. John’s, has signed with LSU out of the NCAA Transfer Portal, according to On3’s Joe Tipton.
Luis went undrafted last year after forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NBA Draft. He was signed to a two-way contract by the Utah Jazz in June before being traded to the Boston Celtics in August as part of a package for forward Georges Niang.
He was later waived by the Celtics in October and ended up signing an Exhibit 10 contract with the team’s G-League affiliate. He didn’t appear in any G-League games though, and is now looking to reboot his college career after a handful of other players who went undrafted have returned to the college level.
Earlier this spring, Texas A&M signed G League guard Bryson Warren, who skipped college entirely to play for Overtime Elite. Warren averaged 19.8 points and 5.0 assists for the Westchester Knicks before committing to the Aggies.
Luis, who was a second-team All-American in 2025, is hoping to take a similar path back to the college level after a disappointing start to his pro career. He did enter his name into the transfer portal last spring while going through the draft process, and is heading to LSU in the midst of a wave of eligibility uncertainty in college hoops.
