The new basketball recruits can’t get here soon enough. We need an injection of talent into this program and it is coming in the form of Will Wade’s first recruiting class. He has this team headed in the right direction and I’m actually excited about the future of our basketball program.

That’s whats wrong with tigerdroppings. Take YOUR negativity to the rant, this is exactly why I only do the recruiting board now.

I was kidding. Read my posts. I'm very supportive of Wade. I have full confidence in him and the program he's building. I'm sorry I didn't communicate that more clearly

About the same amount. Where do you think LSU ranks in talent in the sec?
If you think will wade is doing a bad job or is not a good coach then you’re a dumbass

Never said he was doing a bad job,but everyone keeps saying wait until he gets more talented players.Which in turn is saying he can only win if he has an talent advantage, Vandy was not more talented than lsu,and it's a fact they should have won the last 3 games

No worries Pubes. The fire Wade crowd is pretty unreasonable and very frustrating.

It's a disappointing loss today, but we will get over the hump and I'm proud of the way they fight to the end. Some things are correctable in a game by basis and some are just personnel deficiencies.

It was a nice comeback, and we had them where we wanted them. If we can finish games, we will be alright

WW needs to improve his late game coaching and/or execution.

Oh, you mean like how he did when team came back 10 or 12 down to Mich. late in 2nd half; or say when they hung around with aTm and found a way to win that game at the end; or maybe a better example was when they withstood a 2nd half run against Arkansas, then stepped on their throat to put the game out of reach and break their will.

It's amazing how some of you people are so quick to forget positive examples of the very thing you bitch about. Coaching can only take you so far. Have to have the talent and the "want to" by the players. Is Vanderbilt more talented than LSU, probably not; but it's not like there is a huge difference in the two and Bryce Drew is also a good coach. If next year Wade begins CONSISTENTLY losing games to less talented teams, then feel free to be unhappy if you wish. But LSU has been in games, and even won games this season where they had no business being in the game in the first place based on talent level.

Lol half the games he won this year he had less talent. Vandy has equal talent and a good coach and were playing at home. LSU is somewhere between 12-14 in the sec talent wise
You probably wanted to fire Saban in 2002

Whoever wants Will Wade fired needs to have their head examined and definitely don't reproduce!!!

This team will continue to struggle against team who have a big inside presence or can get to the rim. We just aren't physical enough or have the experience to defend against this type of team. We might catch teams on an off night who can't penetrate our defense or win games where we are shooting really well. LSU will win games like this but until we have a true inside game, WW teams will stuggle.

He will win some we probably shouldn't but also lose some we probably should win. When you don't have a true identity, which we don't, then those teams can fall apart at times or get hot at other times.

What I find hilarious are the same people that call for the football coaches head without any negetive results, or a team which he built but will then turn around and say well Will Wade deserves a chance. If you think one coach does but the other doesn't then you're a hypocrite that shouldn't be taken very seriously.

Of course basketball you can tend to get earlier results than in football but if you don't have at least a few real power bigs then it's tough to create a legit team, unless of course you have some of the best shooters, with an ok inside presence. We have no inside presence that can hold up against the real power bigs. Neither do we have real consistent shooters, so what he's doing with this team is pretty darn impressive IMO.

At the same time our football coach doesn't have his team built yet and is still winning and competing with teams who have had their program installed for years. People need to chill the frick out on these negetive opinion without results shite. It's lame and immature. Coaching takes time to progress. Give it time.
