re: I still love Will Wade

I have my doubts, though.
Obviously McMahon will ultimately have to prove it with results on the floor. But I think you could argue he had more success than Wade before Wade started his LSU tenure. Wade wasn't my first choice when he was hired. I thought he had done a solid job at Chattanooga before taking over a VCU program that a long history of success. He, as a HC, didn't really build the VCU program. He maintained it in his two years there. His first press conference was the first time I thought "ok. I believe in this guy."
McMahon's press conference was the opposite. I had concerns as to how he would recruit at LSU outside of, expectedly, bringing in a few Murray St. transfers. The fact that he was able to get 3 guys from last year's roster to buy in to a new staff they had never met was encouraging. Then he and his staff signed 3 (almost) top 100 HS recruits. Players they only really started recruiting to LSU about a month prior to their signings. The latter was remarkable and totally unexpected.
Can he maintain that momentum? We'll see. Will it produce results on the floor? TBD. But I will give credit where credit is due. Almost 3 months in McMahon has done as good a job as anyone could have reasonably hoped. That's not slight against Wade and what he did at LSU. But it does provide a basis for optimism in the program

I agree 100% alt, and in retrospect, I shouldn't say I have my doubts. I am very happy with what McMahon has done so far, and his won-loss is very impressive. I just know Wade was going the Scott Drew route but quicker imo. I'm just happy LSU has become relevant again and I'm behind our coach I until he proves he can't win here.
