re: MBB Offseason '25 Transfer Portal Tracker

What's laughable is that you think Wade was being TRULY contrite when admitting his past "mistakes".

The fact is, EVERY MOTHERFLUCKING TOP PLAYER has been ILLEGALLY bought and paid for since before the John Wooden days.

It's beyond hypocritical that grown ups act like there is this rogue element in college sports that breaks the rules just because they've "bad dudes" and that certain coaches St. K at Duke and others do it the right way.

That is so far from reality, and it's why it's so hypocritical to go after a guy like Wade who was just doing what had to be done to win.

Meanwhile, all the "respected" news mouthpieces like prick vitale and gay Bilas COMPLETELY IGNORE what is going on across the board, especially at Duke.


Gay Bilas played for them. He knows exactly how the sausage is made.

There aren't many things worse than a hypocrite. I do my best to not be one EVER. I'm not perfect so I probably haven't succeeded in that. But I still try my damdest.

But Will Wade is Jesus Christ right?

We will see if we have spent enough money to overcome the coaching deficiencies.

I'm ready for the sun to come up tomorrow morning whether I want it to or not. For the record, I want it to.

I don't have to see the movie reran more than a couple of times to tell you how it will end.

I don't think it makes me wise to "know this really nice guy won't win this year". I think it makes anyone believing otherwise really stupid.

Anyone paying attention knows this really nice guy isn't a really good coach.

I'm holding out for a miracle because there's no other choice.

I and a few others on here have stated that our worst nightmare is to have this really nice guy squeeze into the tournament this year, lose first game, and then our fanbase and marathon running AD start to believe we have the right guy, whether he's really nice or not.

There is ZERO good reason that a school that has gotten the talent we have over the years shouldn't be near the top of the league, and in the tournament yearly.

Well this thread officially went to shite…

It was fun to follow the portal moves while they lasted.
Thanks to all that contributed actual news.

Here’s to McMahon proving the doubters wrong next year.

I don't have a translator handy so I'm having trouble understanding your post.

Compare the first five years of Dale (who I LOVED as a young tigah growing up in the 80s) with Wade's five at LSU. It's not even close who was better. Give Wade 25 years at the helm, and I'd love to have seen what happened.

Brady took over a truly impossible situation at LSU and did about as good of a job as could be expected, eventually making a final four.

Brady's problem was that at that time, his momma didn't even like him, much less the players or most involved with the program. He also produced McMahon type seasons way more than he produced good ones. Wade had us highly competitive every year.

Hypotheticals aren't easy to predict. I believe Wade would have won for years here, just like he has everywhere he's been. Look at Wade's career record and how he has won conference CHAMPIONSHIPS and made the big dance at every stop he's been. Then look up the definition of mediocre and see how well that matches your description of Wade's performance as a HC.

And he's about to GO OFF in Raleigh, which will further illuminate how our AD completely screwed our program into the ground. Lucky us!!!!

I’ve come back to some very interesting discussion here I see

They just want to tear it down.

Nah, your guy McMahon is doing a great job of doing that all on his own.

14-40 SEC record 14-40 SEC record 14-40 SEC record

Once again you can keep beating on that strawman but he only exist in your mind. Nobody has defended McMahon's performance, nobody has said he has done a good job, and nobody has said they wanted him to keep his job this off season. Posters here pretty much fall into 2 camps. Those who accept he is here for another year so being negative about the program does no good and want to at least be objective about our chances next year and then you have those who are too controlled by emotion and can't accept this so they have decided to troll every thread about basketball. The funny thing is the first group doesn't think coach has done any better of a job than the 2nd group they just aren't as miserable of people and don't throw tantrums.

Yeah saying he has been bad even terrible but was dealt a tough hand means he is your "guy" apparently lol.
