Stay the frick off of the phone !! I’m assuredly not looking for upvotes here but if our young inexperienced coach handled his business with a little more forethought NONE of this ever happens. I hate King and Alleva as much as the next guy but the blame here gets laid at WW’s feet.
Disagree?? Love to hear your argument.

I think the only hope is that he was cooperating with the feds because he got was approached by them with something else less egregious they caught him doing. I think people just need to let this thing play out. There's a long way to go and a lot of coaches are going to be involved. LSU and Wade may be a small player in this by comparison. Nobody knows for sure where this thing is going.

I agree to an extent.
I think the difference is LSU doesn't have the bagman infrastructure in place in basketball the way the bluebloods do. It's one of the many areas Wade correctly assessed we were subpar in when he took over.
Self, Calipari, K, Williams, Wright, etc don't have to "know" about these interactions or overtly direct them. There are alumni and booster networks in place that understand the recruits and players they need to take care of and they handle everything. I'm sure if Wade hadn't been caught and had been able to establish a presence here over 7-10 years he would no longer have been making those calls himself.
Just really bad luck

I disagree because of Wade's statement.
I believe there is more to the story here, as he suggested. The timing of it all is way too convenient. The media backlash against only us while Zion (and others) is still playing and no mention of their "situations", way too convenient. I will withhold judgement, as Wade asked, until the full truth comes out.

Basketball (all levels) and Soccer; the two most corrupt sports in all of history...one exception possible being pro boxing. Loved to watch the game until late 70's...two bits worth. Hopefully doesn't harm LSU across other sports.
