re: looks like julian philips is going to end up at Auburn

There's no way Will Wade is pushing kids to Auburn to spite LSU. No chance. He may tell kids good things about Bruce Pearl and help Auburn in that way, as the two are good friends, but I don't see him trying to screw LSU by pushing players deliberately to a rival just for the sake of hurting LSU. I think he still has very fond thoughts of the program overall and a lot of regret over how it ended for him.
