LSU is among the final five schools for 2019 4-star guard Lester Quinones.
The 6-5 shooting guard revealed his updated list on Wednesday, with the Tigers joining Michigan, Maryland, Memphis, and Indiana in the group.
Georgia did not make the cut after previously being in the mix.
Four-star senior Lester Quinones is now down to five: Michigan, LSU, Maryland, Memphis, and Indiana. Cuts Georgia and Ohio State.
Michigan’s John Beilein, Memphis’ Penny Hardaway, and LSU’s Will Wade will be in this Friday for Quinones, a source told @Stockrisers.

Quinones is rated as the No. 9 shooting guard and No. 64 player overall in the 2019 class, according to 247Sports.
LSU currently has two players signed in the class, with 3-star combo guard James Bishop and JUCO shooting guard Charles Manning set to join the program.
However, given that several players from this year’s SEC championship team have already declared for the NBA draft, Will Wade and company may have to continue adding new talent to the roster.
Wade was reinstated as the team’s head coach on Sunday after being suspended back in early March.
The Tigers also made another notable move by hiring Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward after Joe Alleva resigned from his position.
