Joe Alleva Comments On Will Wade After LSU's Win Over Yale

by Staff Reporter

Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

Following the Tigers 79-74 win over Yale in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva commented on the Will Wade situation with Jeff Goodman of Watch Stadium.

quote:
“I don’t know how deep this goes,” Alleva told Stadium after the win. “That’s the problem, and Will’s refused to talk to us. That’s the hardest part for me.”

Two weeks ago, Yahoo Sports reported that Wade had a conversion with runner Christian Dawkins in which he spoke about a “strong-arse offer” he made in the recruitment of freshman Javonte Smart. Wade remains suspended, but Smart was reinstated prior to the SEC tournament after sitting one game.

“I wish he’d come in and just tell the truth,” he added. “Just tell me what went on. I can handle the truth even if it’s bad.”

Probably not the best time to be making these comments.

Try to get enough sleep. Note that I wrote "try". Many former students remember their sleepless nights spent studying. But still, chronic lack of sleep leads to many negative consequences, and the head will not work at full capacity. LINK / It’s hard how to force yourself to learn, when in my head there are only thoughts - about sleep. Therefore, try to plan your time so that you can get enough sleep.

Hey Joe . . . shut your incompetent mouth.

Why does Joe Alleva hate the U.S. Constitution?

JA is a fricking clown. I come from an entire family of LSU alumni including former scholarship athletes and none of us will set foot on campus again until this clown is gone.

JA is so full of shite. You don't bring in a third party to witness your conversation when you don't know what the outcome is going to be. Auburn is dealing with the same situation and their coach is coaching because their administration is not run by total incompetence. they're waiting till after the season to discuss media reports of improper benefits. And I'm sure the NCAA won't be in the room for the initial internal meeting.

I agree with the longtime LSU drunk, I mean supporter. Clean this swampy arse house of Athletics and get new leaders committed to LSU

That would mean he has balls. He surrendered those a long time ago.

Fire this fumbling,bumbling,clown show, Take the drunk F.King with you Joe!!!!

This was intentionally done to throw the shade on Will Wade while he knows LSU will be implicated in the OLOL Foundation/FBI investigation and he has tacit knowledge of the kickbacks to the players families.

rob62•74 months

OLOL has nothing to do with this.

blueboy•74 months

His comments reek of self-protection and assumption of guilt. He is definitely in "throw-under-bus" mode.

HotBoudin•74 months

So Joe, do you want to tell the truth about your last football coaching search? I thought not. So keep your trap shut about this also. You are obviously covering your own rear end. Those of us whose ticket and donation dollars fund your salary have a single thought: "Fire this moron".

DenhamTiger2015•74 months

I am the search :/
