LSU men's basketball adds transfer forward Pablo Tamba from UC Davis
LSU men's basketball added another player out of the transfer portal with forward Pablo Tamba, according to a report from On3's Joe Tipton.
The six-foot-seven forward averaged 11.3 points and 5.3 rebounds while playing 27.6 minutes as a starter for UC Davis in 2024-25. He shot 58.7% from the field while also contributing at a high level on the defensive end, finishing with 37 steals and 24 blocks.
Originally from Malaga, Spain, Tamba will enter his fifth season of college basketball with the Tigers. He spent the past two seasons with the Aggies after stops at Indiana River State College and Idaho State, where he played as a freshman.
Tamba found rhythm in his second season with UC Davis and hopes to continue that success in the SEC. His commitment adds to an active spring portal period for head coach Matt McMahon. LSU also attracted ex-Mississippi State center Michael Nwoko to improve its frontcourt, which needs work following a below-average season.
