re: Wades recruiting strategy

disagree that the whole team is positionless.. we are down low though for sure. Too many times playing 5 out.

Watford is the one guy playing true to his position. When you account for size-skill-athleticism

You look most successful team models across the nba & college, & there is a system in place with defined roles. When you have that structure, it’s easier to understand your deficiencies.

In LSU’s case, I feel like Wade’s is not quite as pointed.

You can run & jump & score, but you may not have a true position? Ok, you’re in!

Think Waters was that guy. Smart is good enough though he’s score first.

Waters was fully capable of being that at times. Most of time chose not to.

Smart has been really good, the best player on the team actually. But Cam Thomas next to him is just redundant. It doesn’t work.

This years Smart with last years Mays would have been Chef’s kiss

Don’t disagree but not sure there are a ton of guys like that in college ball, especially the SEC (which is what I concentrate on most obviously plus Big12)

I’m speaking more like Smart & Mays who stick around & get better.

Not 1-2 year guys getting picked in the 2nd round. They are flawed, which is why they go in the 2nd round, for one. That reflects on the court in college. And then it leaves the program unstable in the process. I understand the model, but very few tier 3 basketball schools are good at it.
