re: Main LSU basketball recruiting targets are no longer leaning towards LSU

If Wade stays I care very little about next year. Enough talent to make the tournament and continue to build for the future.

Exactly. The recruiting class is of little importance at this point if Wade stays. If Wade is fired or leaves we lose Smart, Williams and Days. Taylor and Mays would be the only two I see staying.
Even if sanctions are handed out because of suspicion or "lack of institutional control" or whatever and the administration somehow grows a backbone to stick with Wade... It would not be nearly as bad as him being fired or leaving.

Recruiting would recover the year after if Wade is around. Plus at that point he'd have more experience in getting some "strong arse offers" made/delivered a little more covert like.. Lord knows the NCAA understands this ain't amateur sports, we just can't have it out in the open or their entire organization is a sham.

Make no mistake though.. if Wade is out the next 4 years or so will be much worse than Jones/Johnson years. At least it might lead to a new AD though.. Which would probably be worth it in the long term.
