Little late and don't want to reignite this but re: the "Daigle" guy.
He has 3 accounts. They are all Ai pictures. There is a real person behind the account (likely Lonn or someone similar) who just posts bullshite and, like someone else said, hope one of the things they posted is true. They get all their info from TD/On3/other twitter trolls. Nothing they say, at all, is to be taken seriously or used as any sort of sourcing or citing. They troll a ton. Could easily be some OM people running the account (Started around the time of the Lane hiring).
Now, back to the roster. I like the idea of Nwoko coming back at a fair price. He is a smaller, more athletic KBW, basically. He needs to get better on the perimeter if he wants minutes.
I like Reed alot, but I don't know how much he fits Wade's system. Wade's bigs were either KBW like guys, guys that could take you off the dribble from the 3 pt line, or hit from deep. I don't know that Reed is quick enough to consistently get to the rim on his own, especially after multiple knee injuries. If he improves as a shooter, (say 35% from 3) he is definitely worth $$ to keep around.
I also like Thomas coming back. But again, it would have to be a fair price. Wade can likely get someone better in the portal (idk who that is, right now) if he really wants to spend.
Finally, we're back channeling with Cenac. If he enters, he's ours.

Oh thats a nice drop of sauce
Would like Nwoko, Miller, Reece and Thomas back. Reed too if everything works out. However i wont worry if everyone leaves because i know Wade will build a capable (and hopefully balanced) roster.

Why wouldn't Cenac go to the draft? He's a consensus first round pick.

Reed has solid SEC size and is a good below the rim finisher. He also an adequate defensive rebounder. However, the biggest knock on him (and Miller) is that neither plays with any type of consistent effort. That shows up most of all on the offensive glass. Wade's LSU teams were generally great on the offensive glass. Reed and Miller never have been really good offensive rebounders.
You don't necessary turn either guy away if the price is reasonable. But I don't think either is irreplaceable either.

Wade also had no problem putting guys on the bench, no matter the ranking. He didn't have many highly touted guys that didn't pan out, but even a guy like Efton Reid (top 10 player nationally I think) was 7th on that team in minutes.
So, if a guy just half asses any part of the game (unless you're Cam Thomas and scoring 25 a night), that guy will not play.
ETA: As a side note, I'm still so mad about how that Michigan game was officiated in '21. I think we were in the bonus with 14 minutes left in the second half, and Michigan managed to not commit a single foul for the next 6 minutes, despite literally drawing blood out of Cam's arm.
Cam was more likely to get tetanus than get to the free throw line in the second half.

Wasn’t tremont and some of his teammates some of the first players to use that option? Wade seemed want them to get that experience.

Saw the graphic a few minutes ago that Michigan's 5 starters are all transfers. I know there weren't very good like 2 seasons ago so it just shows you have much of an improvement you can make in the portal era. Idk how sought after those 5 transfers were, were they bidding war type of players or great evaluations? Looking forward to the improvement Wade should be able to get us in year 1.

Temper your expectations. I was told that it takes 7-8 years to build a program. Also being a nice guy is much more important than wins. Don’t be spoiled.

More good evaluations.

I AM NOT A REFS HATE LSU GUY.
However, in Wade's last year here like clockwork (especially in SEC games), 10 minutes into every game the team fouls would be LSU 8 opponent 2.
It was beyond obvious how the powers that be had it out for Wade.
Hopefully he's done enough of the BS contrition act to get everybody off of his arse.

Listen I’m just worried. We had an X’s & O’s guru and we were still light years away four years in. I’m just letting the fanbase know to not expect too much in the first decade.

Wade likes him and wants him back but there is no shot in hell he is matching that.
