That’s what he’s saying now because people had to correct him. He was very eager to jump on the portal is closed, what’s Wade going to do now?!?

Don’t let the backtracking fool you. Dude creates his own narrative and shifts at will. He won’t admit it or take ownership, it’s the badge of honor for losers. Yes, I’m calling him a loser due to his lack of accountability.

Nobody corrected me. The portal closed last week.

What is Wade going to do? I just said he has to go to Europe or try for G League. You know why? The portal is closed. If there were guys in it that either he wanted it or they wanted to go to LSU, it would have been DONE BY NOW. You know how I know that? Bc I can look at the exact dates he put together his NC State roster. I also follow college basketball and there are usually very few impact transfers that finalize after May 1. The few that are are all NBA draft pullouts. Which Wade got 1 guy like that last year. 1… LSU needs at least 6 more guys.

This is a disaster and the solution isn’t coming from the portal.

The portal isn’t closed and there are over 2,600 players in it. Your scenario that there are no players left is laughably untrue.

What does this have to do with this upcoming season and lsu’s ability to win????

OMG.

10 pages of responses on a subject that has already been posted several times with many responses already made on THOSE threads. Do y’all ever get tired of blathering your opinions on something?

I’m sure that 3 extra days is all the difference….

I am going to be honest. I came home, got high and read it as his last year at McNeese. I have no problem wearing that one.

If these guys all know where they're going by now, why are so many still in the portal when they can sign with whoever they want right now?

That’s a pretty easy answer: It doesn’t fit his narrative.

Just look at the dates, you goober. At NC State, he had most of his team signed by now. Since that is an exact and absolute correlation to this season at LSU, there is zero hope according to “do the fukn math”.

It’s difficult to even pretend to take some of these guys seriously, Lun.

And you don't think that there's any way that Wade has 4 or 5 of those committed to him?

The strategy is obvious, he’s waiting on guys like Allen and other top guys remaining and if he doesn’t get em he’ll go for type like the players he had on his last team here (Gaines, Pinson etc.). He can win with offense or defense so either way we’ll be improved but maybe a conf contender if things go our way.

Same. That dude was like a Forrest Gump’s Box of Chocolates idiom injected into a basketball player.

Frenetic as all hell.

Never seen a guy who could change the temperature of a game so quickly. Unranked player, 6-2 with a +6 wingspan, elite speed, springs, a nightmare on the ball and a worker. He was the guy who made that D go.

Of course it does. The true context is that it’s April and people are judging Wade,’when in totality the same people found every excuse in the book for CoachMc 4 years into his tenure. That’s the context. Loose rims, tired legs (playing 2 games in 4 days), get real.


The reason I think there’s a fair criticism is because we got a significant boost in NIL according to administration, some have said 12-15m…only 11 of the top 100 transfers remain unsigned. We lost the #19, #84 overall transfers to the portal as well as Reed and Reece who went to better programs. So I do think it’s fair to be concerned with things as it sits right now.

Will we fill a roster? Yes. There’s a chance we get Graves for a kings ransom, but what other impact player has even expressed interest outside of that? LSU is ponying up the resources to win right now, that is clear. So it’s more than fair. I’m curious to see how it shakes out.
