LSU basketball offers 4-star 2026 point guard
Matt McMahon and his recruiting staff traveled to McKinney, Texas, to extend a scholarship offer to a four-star point guard. Cameron Lomax is a 6-foot-1, 165-pound, four-star point guard from McKinney where he plays for Heritage High School. The Heritage Coyotes finished last season with a 22-12 record and a loss to South Oak Cliff in the playoffs.
