Ryan Hampton is the one that's been discussing reclass.

Some names to put on yall's radar that NC state insiders were talking about before Wade left:

Bassala Bagayako- Played in the same league as Thjis De Ridder, Virginia's best player this season, and was told he was basically a done deal to NC state before Wade left. LINK


Wade’s in Spain to watch Bagayoko and some other guys in the FIBA Euro Cup Final tomorrow

Hampton is one. I forgot the other kid's name off the top of my head. Maybe King Something? Highly rated guy.

Nc state fans say LSU is offering McNeil 4 million. Apparently money is no problem.


They are wrong. If McNeil comes here then some other players fell through bc Wade doesn’t like the lack of defense. And also it will not be for 4 million lol

Think that game is in Spain. Saw some twitter guy mention Istanbul also so I'm a little confused.

Either way, if Bagayoko is the target he'd be a nice piece. Declared for the NBA draft but sounds like a guy that will likely not go through with draft and play college basketball next season.

Wade may not be crazy about his defense, but someone on roster is going to have to score. I love some of the names thrown around (including Dioubate and Bagayoko) because of their defensive versatility, but their scoring contribution comes from high screen/roll or offensive put-backs. Someone has gotta be able to shoot the ball from outside.

Not sure if this is Goodman just talking or he knows something, but this would be a great addition and fits Wade...

I don't think he knows anything, just trying to make a joke.

There are 4 pools waiting right now - 5-5 players - draft entries who will withdraw (May 27 is the deadline) - overseas players - NBA sub league players with eligibility left Bottom 2 groups can decide anytime before the semester but portions of those groups could be waiting on what happens with the first 2.



Thank you for the response.

So, how does this work exactly? They are making professional money in Europe but can come over to the states and play college ball?

There is almost ZERO CHANCE Wade has no plan, and we won't have a competitive roster on the floor in October. He's been successful everywhere he's been, and that's unlikely to change, no matter how much these WDS figs are praying for it to happen.


I’m rooting for Wade to put out a competitive roster. I think it’s just the sitting around waiting and no to very little information flowing around. Everyone is sitting there like that Jeff Bridges meme.

Get paid there. Get paid here. There’s no more amateur athletics.

Idk how serious the Diang smoke is, but that would be an enormous pickup.

There are “fans” on this very board that hope we miss out on him just to continue peddling a false narrative.

Sad.
