Being good at both is brag worthy, not just one. There is enough data that shows hardware-winning teams are generally elite at both.

BINGO. You don't have the level of success Wade has had everywhere he's been if you're not a good coach.

These clowns on the rant just hear the same bullshite over and over, PRAY that it's true, and run with it.

Like Wade is just lucky everywhere he goes.

I don’t know who, but I was told its a big time player. Will leak tomorrow


Why would it be a leak instead of an announcement? If it is a leak, then it would have to be a for a player they can’t formally announce, such as Niang.

The "Boot Up" has been coming after public announcements. They announced several staff positions today; it could be for that.


I still think it was for the staff additions. It was posted just after the last staff post for Shawn Eddy. Go scroll the timeline:

Thank you very much for keeping us grounded and humble on the recruiting news. No need to get to get too excited. It only sets up disappointment for later!

LSU hasn’t publicly announced a commitment yet. Everything has been leaks and then Will/staff will repost.

Isn’t Kevin Thomas still on the team? Nobody is really talking about him, but I suspect he’d be a depth guy at this point who can take a little time to develop in the system.

Gonna stop you right there. This is a bullshite line started years ago by people who don’t know shite about basketball. And now people still run with it. It’s absurd and untrue. Wade ran multiple different offenses over his first time here to suit his roster. Which is EXACTLY what a good coach does.


Let me stop you right there. You missed the point of my post and go ahead and show me the skins on the wall that prove he's a great Xs and Os coach?

He is an outstanding roster and schedule builder. My point was that these really aren't debatable. I also wasn't saying he's not a good Xs and Os coach. Of the attributes I was talking about, I would not categorize Xs and Os as being "pretty elite" and was stating that if there is something to question, it would be that one.

I know basketball and I don't need you to point to one Sweet 16 appearance and one SEC title to try to tell me he is an elite Xs and Os coach, or point to changing offenses based on personnel as being elite. You won't convince me of that at this time and I'm not going to take your word for it because you think someone said that years ago and you classified it as "absurd."

Anyway, I'm in Wade's camp and also think that Xs and Os are partially a function of time and experience and hope that he'll become pretty elite there as well.

No, you need to provide proof of how he isn’t. You made the claim

He asked out of his NLI. Hasn’t chosen a new team yet.

I think he would have been announced sooner, but there are some questions about his eligibility.
