Wait a minute...are you trying to tell me that wade is actually trying to build a competitive basketball team THIS YEAR?! AT LSU?! Johnny jones sucked so fricking bad that it blows the mind. Wade comes in and within a short period of time is assembling a squad better than JJ had on the court when he had over 5 years to recruit. What a fricking joke JJ is/was. He's a horrible coach

You do realize Johnny Jones significantly improved the program and had a couple of talented teams due to his recruiting. They did make the NCAA tournament and the NIT, finished in the top half of the SEC with a tuba player at center and were in the top half of the league his first four years. Yes it was time for a change but give Jones credit for what was accomplished.

Wade looks like a home run hire and time will tell if he truly is. The SEC landscape is littered with numerous young coaches who came in with the same fanfare and hubris only to be replaced 4 to 5 years later.
