Wade is an awesome recruiter no doubt. He is the best coach we have had in ages. Basketball is losing for several reasons which includes but is not limited to injuries, no offensive coaching, lack of rim protector, and shooters. He needs to hire a guru to teach an offensive concept. They really don't have one or its the wrong one. Reid is a liability and is no where near ready. He needs to work on footwork and get in the weight room. Teams since the Kentucky game are keying on him therefore our defense is regressing. They need a true point guard like all the good teams have like Auburn, Kentucky, Baylor etc...

Perhaps you forgot LSU was a good to elite offensive team for the first 4 years of Wade's tenure. It was the defense that was awful. Wade didn't forget how to teach offense. It's that the offensive approach he had in those first 4 seasons isn't effective with THIS group of players. The foundation of Wade's offense is spacing and ball screens. He puts a ton of playmaking responsibility on the guards. They are asked to create the offense. In year 1 and 2 he had the best PG since Chris Jackson on his team in Waters, along with a solid vet at SG in Mays. In years 3-4 he had Smart at PG who could create his own shot anytime he wanted. Last year he coupled that with probably the best pure scorer he's at the SG spot in Thomas.
This year LSU doesn't have that level of guard play. So when much of your offense relies on the guards creating it you are only as good as those players. You are seeing the results.
On the flip-side you are seeing the results of dogged defensive guard play (something Wade didn't really have in his first 4 years)
