He went after him very hard. Haggerty and Williams play different positions. Maybe Haggerty kept upping his price or wanted guarantees, who knows. But he is not going to get a player he really wanted. He missed. He will still have a really good team.

Yes. And then a different high dollar player committed instead.

The money pool is the money pool. You should be very well aware of this concept after your new hero’s limp across the finish line to round out his portal class.

Haggerty had been leaning heavily toward NC State, but with the Wolfpack securing Williams, a move to Raleigh now seems unlikely unless Haggerty is willing to accept a reduced NIL deal. At this point, his next steps remain uncertain.

Your newfound worship of McMahon has completely inhibited you from being capable of having serious discussions about anything remotely related to lsu basketball at this point

What a sick burn.

If we’re talking about misses, McMahon has MISSED THE NCAA TOURNAMENT the last three years.

Haggerty seems to be the real loser in this situation, unless Kansas State continues to outbid itself and pays him $3-4 million. But yes Wade wanted him, but sometimes you have to be willing to walk away.

It’s not that deep lmao Will Wade whiffed on what’s been his top target for months. Will Wade is still a beast on the recruiting trail. Both are true. Both can be admitted. If using the word “whiffed” sets you off, I apologize, he “missed”

It is amazing how sensitive some people are when talking about a coach who hasn't been here in years and admitted what he did was wrong. Honestly have more respect for him on the latter.

Honestly he probably sets the stage on recruiting next year because he clearly got a ton of NIL to spend. He probably had enough money for Haggerty but decided against setting the market so high in year 1.

Man you’re weird. Do you get how hypocritical you are? You are claiming that someone is a poster’s “hero” because they are optimistic about the season, but that poster also said tournament or they get fired. To you, that is putting them on a pedestal. So I cannot see reality because I’m obsessed with McMahon

Whereas…you hate the coach so much, you have made him into a villain and cannot see the trees through the forest. So you have done the same thing just opposite ends of the spectrum. Understood?

Why would you post Williams commitment?

Yes, I’m aware he committed there. But because he got Williams doesn’t mean he didn’t want Haggerty. He has been chasing Haggerty and couldn’t close. I even said, in my last post, but you are so dick riding for a former coach you apparently can’t read…Haggerty was probably negotiating for too much and they couldn’t agree. But again…since the tournament ended and Haggerty entered, that has been Wade’s #1 guy. He didn’t get him. Cool, he got a forward…he wanted Haggerty too. Follow? You are sooooo upset that WADE DOESNT MISS!!! Why are you so upset we say Wade missed on him?

This irony is laughable

It is WILD if someone says they hope we do well this year, possibly have some hope for the team, they have now idolized a coach. All while there are people willing to die and freak out daily for a coach that hasn’t been here going on 4 years.

I loved Wade, he is gone. People who still mention and often bring up Will Wade when talking about about the upcoming season of LSU basketball are a) idiots b) shouldn’t be in discussions about LSU basketball since he is the coach of an ACC school and c) on a personal note, I will gladly not talk basketball with because they only know Will Wade and I enjoy discussing LSU basketball. So, I will enjoy seeing you out the discussion. Bye

I agree, Haggerty seems like a headache and they already have good guards, they probably avoided a potential disaster. And as Sham said, they probably couldn’t agree to just outrageous numbers. Wade likes to walk the walk so he can show what he can do with a strong roster, then give some hope to those boosters and get more wild next year

It AMAZES me how many posters on this board actually take to heart that bullshite contrition speech Wade gave at his NC state press conference.

He was either smart enough to figure out on his own, or his agent told him to play that part in order to portray himself in a better light, and you and others have bought that crock. You even intimated you were proud of him for realizing and admitting his mistakes. Mission accomplished for Wade.

ANYONE who isn't retarded and has been paying attention knows that every top player has been paid for since at least the 70s.

Pssst!!! Coach gay at puke was the worst. He was just so far removed from the chicanery that his hands always appeared clean, and he had idiot mouthpieces like dork vitale singing his praises 25/8, and amazingly, a lot of fans are naive enough to gobble it up.

Wade was doing what all big time coaches ALWAYS DO. He just didn't have LSU hiding it for him, and now he's been presented as the poster boy for what's wrong with college athletics. It's absurd, and it's cost us a great coach and a great future.

All we can hope for now is a miracle from McMahon (good luck with that ), or finding another coach as good or better than Wade. They're obviously out there, I just have doubts about our administration hiring and keeping him.

Correct. It’s not difficult to see what you’re doing.

Will Wade elected to use the money intended for haggerty on a different player of at minimum equal caliber. That’s not whiffing, it’s making a choice.

quote:

If using the word “whiffed” sets you off, I apologize, he “missed”

Both are equally incorrect. But I do look forward to long list you are surely compiling of all the players McMahon whiffed/missed on based on your incorrect use of the words in this situation.

It’s even more amazing that the guy who thinks Johnny jones is a better coach than will Wade and Darius days would’ve been better off transferring away from lsu for his senior year would believe anyone will ever take his opinions on basketball seriously.

Glad you finally understand that.

Making him into a villain? Oh that’s right, I forgot you think it’s the fan’s fault that Matt McMahon is 14-40 in the second after 3 years.

quote:

Why would you post Williams commitment?

You have to be either so beyond hope biased or so incredibly stupid to be this wrong about the links I posted.

Which is it?

quote:

But because he got Williams doesn’t mean he didn’t want Haggerty. He has been chasing Haggerty and couldn’t close

He stopped chasing haggerty when he got, at worst, an equal caliber player.

If he stopped pursuing haggerty after settling for a player of Michael nwoko’s caliber then yall would have a point.

But he didn’t, and yall don’t. I’m just not sure if you’re too stupid or too biased to understand why.

quote:

but you are so dick riding for a former coach you apparently can’t read

It’s funny that you don’t even see one of your fellow McMahon dick riders is the reason this is even being discussed, because he couldn’t pass on what he incorrectly thought was a chance to make Wade look bad.

quote:

But again… If he stopped pursuing haggerty after settling for a player of Michael nwoko’s caliber then yall would have a point. especially if he was then pretending nwoko was some important get that is going to be a difference maker for his team like I’ve seen some doing.

Follow? Nah, too biased or stupid for that

quote:

Wade misses plenty. He didn’t miss here.

Why are you so upset we say Wade missed on him?

Why are you so upset at being expected to be accurate?

Why are you so upset at being accurately labeled a McMahon pumper?

You’d be better off not misusing words you don’t understand the meaning of.

It’s even more wild that you pretend that’s all youve been doing for the last few months.

I’ll ask you again, who was the person that introduced this topic to this thread?

Yes, we know how important failing at gatekeeping discussion around the 14-40 coach youve decided to worship is to you. I’ll apologize in advance for letting you know it’s still going to happen.

Wade was light years better than Jone here at LSU. Not sure where you got that from.

As for the 5 year old comment, I thought that it might have been in Days' best interest to go to a team that would make him more of a focus in their offense. That isn't exactly rocket science and I have no idea why you think it is notable and keep bringing it up.

Still waiting on some nugget of insight from you.

No Coach K definitely paid players to go to Duke, just like every other successful coach at every other program in modern history. The stupid play on words/names that people do on this website are just not very clever or funny 99% of the time. I mean, coach gay, that's some shite I would expect to find scribbled on a stall in a middle school locker room.

Coach hasn’t brought in a speedy guard yet. Miller was fast but struggled protecting the ball once the lane was cutoff.

Are we fighting for any true guards?

You're right. Jones was much better overall.

Yea, I’d want people to forget how stupid I was if I said something like that too.

Instead he stayed at the school he worked his arse off at for 3 years, was the senior leader of a tournament team, led the team in FGA, and was an all conference player.
