The Final Domino Has Fallen: Mwani Wilkinson Becomes 11th LSU Player To Transfer

by Staff Reporter

April 1, 202284 Comments

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

LSU sophomore forward Mwani Wilkinson is entering the transfer portal and is the 11th and final player to depart the team since Will Wade was fired.

There are now no remaining scholarship players from this year’s team on LSU’s roster.

Wilkinson, a former four-star recruit from Bishop Gorman in Las Vegas, Nev., started in 30 games for the Tigers this past season, averaging 4 points and 3 rebounds per game.

This is why it's hard to care about basketball. The players don't give a shite about the team and university.

Truth

It's important to remember that firing Will Wade was about more than just basketball. Keeping Will Wade was a threat to the football program due "loss of institutional control" allegations.

People don't understand this man. LSU will never risk the football program for a basketball coach.

The NCAA grouped Basketball with Football for the very reason to get Will Wade. I wish I had never heard Will Wade’s fukking name. I am sure LSU Football will get a minor slap on the wrist now that LSU has done what they had to do with Will Wade but had they not the NCAA would have gone after the Football program. Let’s lay blame where it truly belongs and that is with the Joe Aleva Administration. Aleva gave us Will Wade. Aleva was in charge while the Title IX crap was going on. Aleva let the Women’s Basketball program twist in the wind for years. Aleva was the biggest piece if shite masquerading as an Athletic Director in the entire country. Scott Woodward was hired by big money to come in and clean house and clean up Aleva’s fricking mess. This exactly what he is doing and he is doing exactly what he was hired to do.

This is actually unbelievable that all 11 scholarship players from one team have left. Hard to fathom.

BayouTiga•44 months

Why is that? Money gone, player gone. Next best deal, here I come!

rob62•44 months

Yes but we should support these great “student ath-a-lekes”. Half of them can’t spell LSU.

luciouslou•44 months

This is what they need anyway, a complete reset

College basketball is nothing more than a network of bordello. With a bunch of 18-19 year old kids getting exploited by agents and Adam Silver. LSU is just the landlord and the coach a mere caretaker

For some reason I kinda like the ole “rip the bandaid off quickly” as opposed to slowly peeling it off. Time to start healing

Not about the name on the front of the jersey anymore.

It hasn't been for a long time. There's no loyalty to the Purple and Gold. It was always loyalty to a green-tinted picture of Ben Franklin.

Will Wade caused this entire debacle and is probably behind the scenes telling the players to leave and possibly even helping them find aother team.

Mrtommorrow1987•44 months

How in the frick does this even happen. All 11 players lol

MojoTigerBalls•44 months

LSU probably knows that everyone of them received improper payments to come to LSU and with the FBI and NCAA digging so much, I don’t want anybody on the team that will cause them to have to forfeit future victories. Better to break ties at this point.

rob62•44 months

Mojo that is a good point.

HangmanPage1•44 months

Lol Mojo there are no future victories

The announcers will have a field day next season talking about this every game

Rolo182•44 months

It’s a metaphor that defines the character of these players - when the going get’s tough, you quit.

tigersquad89•44 months

No it’s not. They were recruited by a coach and he was fired. So they are seeing what else is out there. This is perfectly reasonable.

Mizzoufan26•44 months

Huh? None of them came for LSU, they came for the money and illegal incentives wade passed on to them. When wade leaves and that train ends of course they are going to leave

Tigers4Lyfe•44 months

@tigersquad89 All 11????

“ averaging 4 points and 3 rebounds per game.” How did this clown start 30 games?

Pretty sure the new coach wants his own players.
