re: NIT forecast this morning (March 16)

The fact is Wade had eventual NBA talent on his team when LSU signed him.

Reath didn't go from College to the NBA, he was VERY, VERY raw when he was here, had not played much organized ball. If fact because he was so raw he went undrafted and in 2018 and it took him 6 years to develop and mature and become and NBA talent.

The fact that some, maybe just you, keep hyping him as an example of NBA talent WW inherited his first year is a seismic and honestly comical reach.

He was nothing of the sort and not even close to that when he was here and one of the reasons I'll push back on this every time. His talent when he was HERE was what WW inherited, not his talent 6 years later. Epps averaged 5 points a game over his 4-year career here (same as Fountains 4-year average in the SEC in his career), Sampson 7. I was here for Mays first year, watched every game, he was out of control and not ready for this level of ball.

So every time that list of "Really good players" is put out as some sort of proof of what talent WW inherited I will push back, because as you can see I 100% disagree.
