8. LSU Tigers

This is a program that has landed several five-star prospects in recent years, including star wing Cameron Thomas (who led all freshman in scoring last season), and center prospect Efton Reid this offseason. You can always expect head coach Will Wade to get the best talent, including already landing top-50 small forward Devin Ree in the 2022 class.

And if you including top-100 incoming freshman Alex Fudge already part of the roster and the wing position is pretty much taken care of. It’s not that Livingston wouldn’t improve things but the point guard and power forward positions are much bigger needs that have to be addressed. I doubt he’ll be a priority much longer.

7. Georgetown Hoyas

The Hoyas have one of the younger rosters in college basketball next season, including five-star shooting guard Aminu Mohammed. While there may be growing pains for next season, the core of Mohammed, point guard Dante Harris and freshman center Ryan Mutombo joined by someone like Livingston would be good enough to contend in the Big East the following year.

Of course, things can change once again for Georgetown, as they’ve had plenty of ups and downs in the Patrick Ewing era. The lack of consistency may be an issue for a one-year player, along with there just being more reliable options for Livingston to consider.
