BATON ROUGE — The LSU men’s basketball program announced its first signee of the spring signing period Friday after papers for Glen Oaks guard Bo Spencer were received and verified by the athletics department.
Spencer becomes LSU’s fifth signee overall for the 2007-08 season after the Tigers signed four players in the fall signing period.
Spencer, a 6-1, 175-pound playmaker averaged 22 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals for the Panthers this season and wrapped up his two-year stint at Glen Oaks with 1,159 points. He spent his first two high school seasons at Southern Lab. At the recent Louisiana High School Coaches Association all-star game in Houma, Spencer was voted the Most Valuable Player with 25 points.
“Bo Spencer is going to answer some of the questions we have at point guard,” said LSU Coach John Brady. “He comes to us from a winning high school program at Glen Oaks. Harvey Adger has done an excellent job of coaching and preparing him to play at this level. He comes from a wonderful family and he is another local player coming to our program that we expect to have a good career at LSU.”
Spencer was an honorable mention all-state selection in the state highest classification, 5A, each of the last two years.
