Texas Southern nets another LSU transfer

Combs transferred to LSU from North Texas the summer after Jones was fired in Baton Rouge. The 6-foot-7, 215 pound Combs only played six games at LSU due to an ankle injury that ended his season. He was granted a medical redshirt for the 2017-18 season.

Combs was bothered by the ankle injury while at North Texas as well. His best collegiate season to date was the 2015-16 season, when he was an All-Conference USA selection, averaging 14.9 points and 10.5 rebounds per game.

Earlier this month Jayln Patterson decided to play his final year at Texas Southern as a graduate transfer.
