According to Dan Wetzel there is tape, that was not admited into evidence, of Will Wade discussing a 2019 recruit with a defendant named Christian Dawkins. Wade tells Dawkins he can “get you what you need.” Wetzel says he means money for the recruit (Balsa Koprivica). But Wetzel also admits that because the tape was not admitted into evidence he has little context.

Read his entire thread.

Hopefully it’s fake news.

So why was it not allowed as evidence if it's so cut and dry?

We have no connection to adidas at all, why would wade be involved in this?

Uhh, that’s pretty bad

But LSU is small potatoes in this case. Will should keep his head down and keep quiet.

We all know every D1 school pays their players - both football and basketball - in some form. Hopefully we dont get fricked.

Gestapo bastards.

You took Tito Horford from me.
You tried your damndest to take John Williams
You kept Stanley and CJ apart freshman year
You gave us shite for Lester Earl


You can pry Will Wade and what we are building from my cold, dead hands.

Hopefully the person at the NCAA is ignoring this.

Look I love Will Wade and LSU basketball but you have to be dirty to be competitive.

I’m fine with ya being dirty because I want to win and it’s the NCAA’s fault everything is fricked. Not Will Wade or LSU’s.

Are we dirty? Absolutely. Look at our class last year.

Do I blame Will Wade? Hell no. I’m all for it.

In this era, it’s a must .... not an option.

Sounds like Will playing with the big boys and keeping his nose clean. Not admitted into evidence? Cool. Prove something and I’ll be nervous.

Say what y’all want, you don’t get this many recruits and get this much better out of nowhere. Nothing will come of this, but I’m just saying.

Basketball recruiting is filthy. I wouldn't doubt wade or any coach fudged a bit to get a recruit. Nature of the business
