I'm sure that one of the first 5 things Wade does when he gets here is sit Antonio down and start recruiting him.

God I hope so.

either way, its gonna take Wade 2 years to get this thing the way it needs to be. Big Johnny left us the same way Trent left us. with almost nothing

Absolutely! Plus this draft class is way to packed with studs. He'd be way better off coming back and bettering his draft stock imho

Blakeney shouldn't go anyways. He'll go undrafted.

I'll get the strippers lined up to convince him.

I can agree, but it still isn't in great shape right now

I don't think that's true in the slightest. We don't have a good forward on the roster. Reath and decent and the rest are bench/role players.

We do have several guards that are SEC caliber.

I doubt it but I hope Wade has already called him and asked, or begged, for a meeting with him.

Anyone know if he's still around campus. He may have checked out already.

If you are expecting a huge turn around in year one you are kidding yourself. we have some good kids here, but Im not expecting a full NCAA tourney run next season, I would love it YES, but Im hoping for us to be a .500 SEC team and make the NIT. Then in year 2 for Wade take the next step to the NCAA Tourney

They've all been waiting like us.

Heard AB wants to come back. This type of hire probably helps.

For real. There was some talent on this year's team. Depends on who stays, but the cupboard isn't bare

Not sure if he stays but he's going to be very disappointed if he leaves unless he can get a deal in Europe.
I just hope Wade has a big man or two in his pocket.

Not if everyone stays. just because Jones was awful and the players quit on him doesn't mean their aren't good pieces here. Blakeney is an All
SEC talent. Sampson is incredibly athletic. He just needs to be molded. Mays showed flashes of being a very good PG. Reath has a nice skill set for a raw 6'10" player. There are pieces to build from

VCU has 4 guys committed. 2 are 6'9" PF's (LSU recruited one of them). They also have a 4* PG committed. If LSU can add some size next season, I think they could compete (not win) in the SEC

He did

Johnny left a few players that I think could be great ballplayers with some coaching, namely Skyler Mays
