Would be a better hire than I was expecting. The good thing is that he isn't an alum of a blue blood, or has any ties with a major basketball program. If LSU pays him, I wouldn't see him leaving for Clemson.

Make the move, Joe.

S- I would also like to try for Pasternek but we may have to wait too long for him. It would be a risk.

He replaced Shaka Smart at VCU?

The VCU tree hasn't been very fruitful when moving to major conferences.

Shaka Smart and Anthony Grant both had slightly more success than Wade and it didn't translate in a bigger conference.

That said, he'd be a better hire than many of the other names thrown around. He could also stay around a long time of it works out because he's only 34.

He's young...only 34. But he was able to turn things around at Chattanooga. He's also done well at VCU. I'd be on board with this if it transpired.

Give me Mike Rhoades if we're going for former VCU guys. This is uninspiring to me.

People try to connect the lines too much in coaching trees. Every situation is different. Just because Smart and Grant didn't work out very well doesn't mean Wade would have the same misfortune. I personally think that would be a very good hire, but like I said no one knows for sure.

Would be an awesome hire! Motivates, understands the X's and O's and has relationships in strong basketball states.

The fact that Wade wasn't on the flight back to BR with Alleva is not a good sign.

Aka his agent threw this out to ESPN, wade will get huge raise and contract extension at VCU, and alleva will give the job to Kent Lowe when he gives an awesome PowerPoint presentation

This would be a great hire if I'd actually possible. Even though some posters seem to hope Alleva makes a bad decision so they can be right about him, I think Wade would fit in nicely
