Justin Hamilton is officially a Tiger after signing his scholarship papers Thursday, according to an LSU Athletic Department news release.
Hamilton, the former Iowa State center, will have two years of eligibility remaining beginning in the 2011-2012 season. He will have to sit out next season because of NCAA regulations.
Hamilton averaged 6.4 points and 5.4 rebounds per game last season for the Cyclones.
“Big true centers are hard to find in college basketball,” said LSU coach Trent Johnson in a news release. “Justin is a great kid and he will fit in with what we are trying to accomplish with our basketball.” —-Contact Chris Branch at [email protected]
