Wade also took over a dismal program left over by Jones in an era without current transfer rules and immediately turned the program around.


Wade also had t e good fortune to get Tremont Waters on the rebound from Georgetown after they fired Patrick Ewing. Credit to him for this signing, but without Waters its doubtful they have a winning record. This is not to demean Wade in any way but just to point out dame fortune can smile on you sometimes. To be fair perhaps Wade had built a prior relationship with Tremont even though he didn't sign him then and was later able to cash in when he got the LSU job. McMahon's first season here may have ended a lot different if Ja Morant was just a few years younger and ended up a Tiger. No matter what you think McMahon has righted the ship and will have the program back in the Big Dance and challenging the top teams for SEC superiority.

Tremont Waters was also the first guy Will Wade paid. 120k was the cost to get the program back on track

There is no evidence to suggest that McMahon will come close to Wade's success at LSU. Only the unsupported hopes of the McMahon sycophants have that faith.

Part of being a successful coach is getting good players consistently. Wade was able to do that at all of his head coaching jobs including his current one. McMahon has not been able to do that at LSU. Bringing up Ja Morant as McMahon's big recruiting accomplishment at his one prior head coaching gig has not translated to his results at LSU thus far.

I hope McMahon is successful here, but I am not holding my breath.

Or maybe Wade is just a great recruiter and wins every motherflucking place he goes, almost instantly.
