re: How can anyone defend the conversations from the tapes?

There may be some loophole that clears Wade. But let’s all be honest here. We know what was going on.

We can speculate because we know that these players are paid. But we are just speculating because what’s on the tape isn’t proof.

No, we dont. We haven't even heard the full, un-edited version of the tapes. We simply need to wait until all the facts are out. NOT snippets of transcripts leaked to the media.

Dude this could have been early on in his recruitment when WW didn’t have much momentum for the program and he wanted to get attention to it how ever possible knowing others were throwing money at him to simply gain interest and then had a real conversation with the recruit followed by dropping the whole so called offer and middle man. The offer could have been anything from a full scholarship, to a promise to make an NBA roster after training with Wade, to promise to win the SEC, a joke or a pair of shoes with an LSU logo??? No one knows that.

It’s not a sin to talk about these things to gain interest from recruits to get them on campus then go the legal route. It was a very short snippet of I’m sure a much longer, more detailed conversation. Why leak only bits and pieces that implicate the man instead of the hole thing leaving no doubt one way or another. There’s likely a “damn strong” reason they leaked the worse sound bites of WW because the rest would leave no doubt that it was innocent conversation. You have to ask these questions because if you don’t then of course your conclusion would be guilt. That was the point of releasing those sound bites right before the SEC/NCAA tournament.

There’s some dirty awful people out there who really want to hurt LSU as a program and kill this thing before it starts. WW was turning things around quickly and some folks didn’t like that. Call me crazy but the media is known for this type of behavior so forgive me if I’m skeptical of the timing and way in which this was delivered to the nation with unnamed sources while LSU is being singled out amongst the true lies and deception. Imo this is an attempt to distract from the real scandal in college basketball and our institution leaders bent the knee to these clowns exactly the way it was intended and planned.

Then if WW is actually guilty there was still some real dirty deeds happening behind the scenes to sink the LSU basketball program and single us out as the fall guy. Demonize LSU as if we’re what’s wrong with the system. It just seems awfully convenient to me.
