LSU fans may be disappointed in the result of Saturday night's football game against Mississippi State but the basketball team landed a commitment following the game in Peabody sophomore Cedric Russell.

The 6-foot-1 Russell averaged 14.5 points last season for the Warhorses. LSU was Russell's first offer but more are sure to come for the talented youngster.
