It’s unbelievable that a program that has produced 4 Final Fours and Hall of Famers Shaq, Pettit, and Maravich has fallen to these depths

You can thank Wade for being reckless.

It had to happen. The program needed to rid itself of the Wiretap Willy shite smell

Yes...
It's embarrassing that kids leave because a coach got canned.

So why are they leaving? No more money... they don't want to earn anything with the new coach... what is it? I'm glad they all left.

I expected this to happen once it was announced Wade was let go.

Not sure why you expected something different

I’m not embarrassed. In fact, I’m relieved that LSU basketball will no longer be under NCAA investigation.

Regardless of how we feel about the NCAA, LSU chose to participate, and in doing so abide by the rules of the organization.

I’m not much of a excuse maker. I don’t give a shite what the blue bloods do or how other schools operate.

I’d had enough.

Direct deposits stopped hitting. Would you keep working for less than agreed to?

It’s all on Will Wade. He recruited a bunch of mercenaries who have no sense of team. I understand guys transferring who have a shot going somewhere and being a big time contributor, but some of these guys are lower tier SEC caliber and have no business in the portal.

I think this is the whole point people are missing. That’s not that impressive. This isn’t guys leaving North Carolina, Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, etc. Nobody on the roster this past season was here for LSU.

Not really this is called 25% cleaning house 75% kids these days are more loyal to the coach than school. Hit the portal and land the right guys and we could be about the same level team

I guess I’m in the minority, but I like it. How do we know those players weren’t promised monetary incentives under Wade? Program needed to be purged and gives LSU a huge opportunity for a build from scratch storyline. Does anyone on this board accept challenges in their lives?

Perfect storm of a coach being fired for violations and the introduction of the transfer portal

It’s brutal

What?!? What?!?

This is so bad. Again, where you 5-30 years ago watching/discussing LSU Basketball? Non-existent.

We don’t really know what the “situation” was with all of Wade’s players. Let’s just start with a clean slate and move on.

Did you not see the football departures? Why is this surprising to you? Delusional? Yes.
