Will Wade is going to be a hot commodity for any college basketball program...

I wish Tulane would reach out

He'll be able to get a bigger job than Tulane, but that would be great if Tulane grabbed him.

He’ll be the next coach at Clemson. Maybe not this offseason but next.

Vandy would be stupid not to hire him. They’ll be firing Stack soon and WW is from Nashville

Imagine the angst on this board if Bob Marlin retired and UL Lafayette hired Wade.

I think he wants to immediately jump back into a major conf. But I also think he will be selective and look for the right opportunity. I know he is from Nashville (and maybe home is a big pull for his family) but I don't think he looks at the Vandy job as the right opportunity. Wade knows NIL is paramount and I believe there are questions that Vandy is willing to fully invest in that game.

Louisville is going to be the top job. I think Wade will want to be in the running, but I would bet they have their sights set higher than Wade (namely, Chris Beard). Clemson would obviously have some intrigue for him. Oklahoma St. may be a dark horse because they have some tradition and some money. The Big 12 is going to be an afterthought in football moving forward, but it should still be a really good basketball conference with the likes of Kansas, Houston, Baylor, Arizona, etc,

Given the jobs likely to become available, I think Clemson and OSU will be the most realistic

Of course, he is under a show cause until June 2025 and any school that hires him will get extra NCAA oversight. That might scare a few schools, especially those with major football programs, away.

You dont think P 5 schools will back off due to the NCAA stuff? Or is what he did back then now legal with NIL etc? I dont recall the specifics but wasnt he bragging about paying players?

Probably not until next year and his show cause expires.

That would be great for Tulane but terrible for LSU. Dear God don’t let it happen.

People who think Will Wade will get a bigtime job are either naive or are fooling themselves.

The issue isn't that he may or may not have recruited improperly; it's the fact that when the LSU Board of Supervisors called him in to discuss the situation, he lawyered up and refused to talk to them. He openly defied LSU.

Anyone that hires him, has to consider what the worst case scenario might be. In his case, it's not losing seasons, or even probation- it's that he may potentially do that to you, too.
