LSU set to go in-home with 4-star forward
LSU Basketball will go in-home on Wednesday with 2024 Combine Academy (N.C.) four-star small forward Rakease Passmore, On3’s Jamie Shaw reported on Tuesday.
The Tigers are among the many teams after Passmore, who averaged 16.5 points per game last weekend for Garner Road on the Adidas circuit. LSU offered last July.
The 6-foot-5 prospect is now the No. 49 player in the 2024 On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average which utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He has added offers from the likes of Kansas, Wake Forest, Illinois, Texas A&M, College of Charleston, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Georgia, Virginia, USC, Houston, Oregon and is receiving interest from Duke.
Last year, Passmore played in 31 games and averaged 13.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He shot 51 percent from the field and 38 percent from three-point range. The Goats went 36-5 and won the Hoop State Championship.
LSU target Rakease Passmore scouting report
“Rakease Passmore is a lengthy and highly explosive wing. At 6-foot-5, there is talk of him having a 46-inch max vertical jump. When he gets a head of steam, he attacks the rim with bad intentions. Passmore is much developed as a shooter. The release is high and consistent. He needs to develop creating off the bounce and building consistency, getting the ball into his shot pocket off the live dribble.
“Passmore has a high-level work ethic, which is evident by his rapid improvement over a short amount of time. He averaged 21 points playing with the Garner Road program on the Adidas 3SSB 16u Circuit. There is a massive upside here, and the work is showing to reach his vast ceiling.”
