Another one of those players is following McMahon to Baton Rouge.



Former Racers guard <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/trae-hannibal-114328/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Trae Hannibal</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/thetraehannibal/status/1509727146352205826">took to Twitter</a> to announce his commitment to the Tigers on Thursday night. He’s the second former Murray State player to join back up with McMahon after <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/justice-hill-68959/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Justice Hill</a> committed earlier this week.

Hannibal started his college career at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/south-carolina-gamecocks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">South Carolina</a>, meaning he’s no stranger to SEC basketball. He played two years for the Gamecocks, averaging 4.8 points per game in 46 appearances over that time. His numbers got a little better with Murray State when he averaged 9.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game in 34 games for the Racers in 2021-22.



He played a big role off the bench as Murray State rattled off a 31-3 record this past season to make the NCAA Tournament, where the Racers defeated San Francisco in the first round. Ironically, San Francisco coach Todd Golden also <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/florida-gators/news/florida-basketball-officially-announces-todd-golden-hire-san-francisco-head-coach-sec/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">took the jump to the SEC</a>, taking over for Mike White at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/florida-gators/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florida</a>.

It didn’t take long for former Murray State guard <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/justice-hill-68959/">Justice Hill</a> to make up his mind after entering the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/transfer-portal/wire/basketball/2022/">transfer portal</a> earlier in the month. Hill has announced that he will head to the state of Louisiana and <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/lsu-tigers/news/former-murray-state-guard-justice-hill-makes-decision-on-his-future-lsu-tigers-transfer-portal/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">join his former head coach</a> Matt McMahon at <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/lsu-tigers/">LSU</a>.



The sophomore guard ranked No. 49 in the <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/transfer-portal/top/basketball/2022/">On3 Transfer Portal Rankings</a>. Hill put up big numbers in his second season with the Racers and helped lead them to an NCAA tournament berth. He and the Racers made it to the second round of the big dance after defeating San Francisco, but lost to this year’s Cinderella story, Saint Peter’s.



Hill announced his decision from his social media account with this post.



“I’m beyond blessed and grateful for the opportunities that I’ve been presented with these past few days. But all in all, I’m committed to the people that have been committed to me! #GeauxTigers,” <a href="https://twitter.com/JuiceHill/status/1508927329971712009">wrote Hill via Twitter.</a>



Hill originally committed to <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arkansas-razorbacks/">Arkansas</a> as part of the 2019 class. He only spent one semester with the Razorbacks before entering the portal and transferring to Salt Lake Community College. he joined Murray State ahead of the 2020-2021 season, and turned into a key player for the Racers.



<a href="https://www.on3.com/news/star-murray-state-guard-justice-hill-enters-ncaa-transfer-portal-arkansas-razorbacks-college-basketball/">Hill announced his decision</a> to transfer via his Twitter account on Monday.
