CJ Walker, a 6-7 small forward in the 2019 recruiting class, has received an offer from LSU.

The Orlando Christian Prep product has picked up previous SEC offers from Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt.

He also has offers from teams such as Florida State, Georgetown, St. John’s, and Virginia Tech.

According to 247Sports, Walker is rated as the No. 26 small forward and No. 88 player overall in the 2019 class.

LSU currently has no commitments for next year’s class, but does boast a top five group for this year.

Will Wade and company have signed four highly-heralded 2018 prospects, headlined by 5-star big men Naz Reid and Emmitt Williams. Four-star combo guard Ja’Vonte Smart and power forward Darius Days will also join the mix.

LSU loses seniors Duop Reath and Aaron Epps from this year’s roster, as well as junior guard Brandon Sampson, who chose to enter the NBA draft and sign with an agent.

The Tigers went 18-15 in Wade’s first season in Baton Rouge, which included advancing to the second round of the NIT.
