  "account": "Following a series of eligibility court cases across the country, LSU men's basketball currently lists only four active players on its roster, according to a team spokesperson who spoke to The Daily Advertiser on September 9. These four players are guard Abdi Bashir Jr., forward Mouhamed Dioubate, guard Austin Nunez, and junior guard Divine Ugochukwu. Both Skyy Clark and Donovan Dent, UCLA guards granted a fifth year of eligibility via temporary restraining orders from a California judge, are also regarded as potential additions to the Tigers' roster.\n\nPresident of LSU has assured that the football roster is locked, and this issue has been deemed moot. RJ Luis Jr., another player signed by LSU, remains uncertain in terms of eligibility. Despite Louisiana's court ruling in his favor for a fifth year in college, a recent court filing by the Southeastern Conference in an Alabama federal court may hinder his return.\n\nAlthough RJ Luis is technically eligible due to the judge granting him an injunction, the ongoing legal issues with LSU football suggest that his chance to play for the Tigers this season is unlikely.",
