LSU men's basketball coach Will Wade and his staff are moving quickly on Oregon transfer forward Kavell Bigby-Williams who visits officially this weekend.

The 6-foot-11 former Oregon Duck will have to sit out the 2017-18 season and will have one year of eligibility remaining.

A one-for-one transfer wasn't possible for Southeastern Conference schools until the rule was voted on and changed just a few weeks ago at the SEC Spring Meetings.

Last season Bigby-Williams appeared in 37 games with one start for the Ducks.

He has already visited Baylor, San Diego State an Wichita State.

Bigby-Williams is a native of London, England and is one of only three British players to ever appear in a Final Four. Before arriving at Oregon he was the 2015-16 Spalding NJCAA Division I Player of the Year Gillette (Wyo.) College.
