LSU men’s basketball coach Johnny Jones picked up the second member of his 2014 recruitment class when four-star center Elbert Robinson announced his commitment on Tuesday.
Robinson, a 7-foot, 322 pound center from Lakeview Centennial High School in Garland, Texas, joins three-star forward Aaron Epps in the Tigers’ 2014 class. Robinson is the second 7-footer Jones has targeted in as many years, as the Tigers brought in Australian center Darcy Malone last spring.
Robinson is ranked No. 51 overall by Rivals.com, and he opted for LSU instead of Ohio State, Nebraska and Georgia Tech. As a junior, Robinson averaged 14 points, 12.5 rebounds and six blocks per game.
