LSU head coach Will Wade was speaking at his weekly Tipoff Luncheon on Thursday right as Yahoo Sports released their report that he was recorded on an FBI wiretap discussing the commitment of a player with middleman Christian Dawkins.

After the Luncheon, Wade took questions from local media about the report.

We know that ALL the schools are doing it. Who was LSU competing against for Smart? However, Wade is some stupid to discuss this openly on a phone. Using his own phone was especially stupid. Get a GO Phone for stuff like this.

Oh, GO AUBURN!! GEAUX TIGERS kick Vandy's ass. And win the SEC. FUK THE REST OF THE SEC AND NCAA AND FBI. THIS IS A CROCK OF BULL shite.

Well, personally I don't give a fuk because it is nothing anyone doesn't know is going on EVERYWHERE. The kid Zion at Duke turned down anything offered by any other school because he is playing for Duke. I am sure he just went to Duke and took nothing after he was telling other schools what he wanted from them. Yeah right. Ha-ha-ha!!

Here's the thing..... He's guilty as sin and he knows it. You can just see it in his eyes that he knows he's screwed. However, that does not give the FBI the right to play daddy in this situation. That is reserved for Alabama and only Alabama.

you can see "it" in his eyes? That ranks right up there with the absolute stupidest cliche in the history of mankind: gut feeling. Cops ought to trash the polygraph and just use you.

No you cannot see it in his eyes. You are seeing what you want to see. If they had a damn thing on him, anything that could wipe this season from the record books, Wade would have stepped down by now. They have nothing on him except people and their own speculation. Everything that was said was vague. These reporters are making crap up and outright lying to make a name for their self. If Arizona and LSU were reversed it's be Sean Miller they'd be attacking and not LSU. These media dumbasses don't know what is in the wiretaps except what was already played in open court. They are just making a big deal about the same shite because of where LSU is right now.

Why an FBI tap?? Was he really doing something that bad in being a first year coach that they had to tap in??

The tap was on the other guy. Wade just happened to be talking to him after the tap was put in place. They didn’t tap all the universities involved but just some of the guys at the shoe companies that were paying the players.

FBI is corrupt and will wire tap when they want to. The people on the other line are to remain masked until a warrant is issued, but they thumb their nose at that. Federal justice system has become a system with favorites and separate rules depending on who they're going after.

Offer to mentor a future student and his family is against Ncaa rules now?

One of the kids involved is Zion Whatever who plays for Duke. Ok, if anyone offered the kid anything he obviously turned it down to go to Duke. I suppose the kid just went to Duke because he loves Coach K and Coach K didnt do anything wrong? Lol.

Wade's actual comment: "Are you NOT entertained?" frick yes. Up that man's contract on your way out, Joe.

Definitely a witch-hunt with actual acquisitions.

Isn't this the same old news that was revealed previously.This is the same information that we have already heard. Except for which players name that was included. Trying to tarnish this man because he is successful. Meanwhile,some coaches recruit like this annually. With zero suspicion,I guess that's normal.

A great offer probably meant playing time...its very vague material... If the FBI wants to take someone out, they will spare no expense or resources...
