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.

Why did you post this? His response was no response.

What’s funny is this breaks and the word cash was used to get Zion and no one cares!

Different programs play by different rules.

I am certain Duke didn't do anything for the same kid who was asking for shite from every other school. Lol.

Free Drinks•75 months

I will die for Will Wade. Deny, deny, deny

jpainter6174•75 months

frick Pat Forde, Pete Thamel, and Dan Wetzel!!!

rob62•75 months

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.

ApexTiger•75 months

He doesn't appear to be worried about it

theOG•75 months

What could he do about it now?

CanebreakCajun•75 months

Always, and I mean always assume someone is recording you.

In today’s era of college sports, it’s worth being a little dirty. Championships if you get away with it, and minimal punishment if not. It’s not like LSU is worse off than they were pre-Wade.

Hell, Penn State ran a child prostitution ring, and they’re competing for titles just a handful of years later.

Eff it. I say we double-down on it and pay WW big bucks. I, for one, am VERY entertained.

19•75 months

Definitely a witch-hunt with actual acquisitions.

ApexTiger•75 months

Can we get confirmation the FBI agents involved are not biased? Let's see their texts...

LSUtwolves•75 months

Huh? Moron

ApexTiger•75 months

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...

magicman0001•75 months

Seriously.. Mom and kid were gonna get playing time, too? Get real.

rob62•75 months

Could be talking about giving Mom tickets. Lol.

rob62•75 months

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!!

tubucoco•75 months

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

koLSU86•75 months

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.

SoulGlo•75 months

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.

Clockwatcher68•75 months

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

lsucoonass•75 months

He’s confident, nothing major to see here.

GeauxsomeMeaux•75 months

Doesn’t look good, but we’ll have to wait and see. Hopefully there’s not enough “evidence” to cause real trouble.

BTRDD•75 months

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.

rob62•75 months

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

19•75 months

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

Zeek•75 months

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.
