Jordan Mickey committed to LSU after a home visit earlier this week from Tigers coach Johnny Jones.

"My relationship with Coach Jones is very good and that was important to me," Mickey said. "I've gotten very familiar with LSU and I love the atmosphere of the football games.

"Having a chance to play right away was a big factor for me. I wanted to be able to help a program as soon as I could."

Mickey, a 6-foot-8, 223-pound forward, chose the Tigers over offers from Ohio State, Oklahoma State and SMU.
