Any insiders or posters heard anything about Dedan Thomas Jr staying with LSU since Wade has been hired? I know it’s early, but any thoughts or discussions regarding Wade retaining Thomas?

Don’t waste money on someone that is that injury prone

He wants more $
My guess if Florida will come after him

I thought Reese did some nice things during sec play
Will see if Aggies come after him
He and the Aggie coach have strong ties

If funny how a college player who was hurt for the meat of the conference season thinks he deserves to get paid more the following season in addition to what he earned for sitting his arse on the bench this season. This model is unsustainable and I look forward to the spigot being shut.

Not worth the money he wants. I feel like he bamboozled McMahon too.

The biggest issue is that he'll probably sign before he is fully recovered. Seems pretty risky.

Let Thomas go. And Reese. And Miller. Clean slate with no stench left over from the McMahon regime.

Is the portal open yet? I know he announced but don’t think it opens until after the title game. Regardless his foot injury will continue to degrade and we have options. Go get Larry Johnson out of Mcneese, he’s a bigger more athletic guard who can defend. Much more suited to Wade’s style.

Following an injury plagued season for himself along with the lack of team success why wouldn't he look for the best situation for himself. No NBA career promised..Take the LSU glasses off.

I've been saying that. Once the writing was on the wall with the record in SEC play that dude wasn't coming back

Exactly. As a famous grass eating football coach would say he doesn't have the chest.

Idk why we would want him back, good riddance, first sign of adversity and he will get "injured" again.

Why pay someone who fakes an injury and sits out the year,and then is the 1st guy to transfer!

So he thinks the program will still be just as bad even with Wade getting hired? Sounds like he just doesn’t want to be here regardless.

That is up to the General. Thomas is a Private.
