What makes you think Jaydawg is spitting untruths?
Is it vouching for Mark Few, Tony Bennett, and Jay Wright as coaches that have NEVER CHEATED, and yet won multiple national championships between them?
Or is it him REFUSING to make the assumption that our future NFL star littered, greatest team of all time in 2019 cheated like a motherflucker to sign those players?
Jdawg makes PERFECT SENSE to me.

It seems pretty clear that Wade was banking on the 5 for 5 passing this year, but since that's not happening until next season, he’s got to pivot. Now, he’ll be hoping a standout player from the 2027 class decides to reclassify, while also looking to snag a few solid players from the transfer portal. The rest of the roster will likely need to come from overseas talent. I wouldn't have high expectations for next years team if I were you.

lol oh it makes sense if you’ve seen other posters like him. There’s definitely a uniformity to it.

I think it's premature for anyone to have any expectations until we see (a) a completed roster and (b) how that roster may stack up to the competition (on paper until the season actually starts).

You have absolutlely lost your mind if you believe this ridiculousness.

Of course they did just like every other team that they played. Players have been getting paid longer than any of us has been alive.

TL. You need to have a conversation with him. He WILL set you straight on these matters. JWILLsomething is the poster.
I naively used to believe that virtually all top players were paid illegally pre NIL. He has opened my eyes to how RIDICULOUS it was for me to believe that it was impossible to win big without cheating in those days. I suggest you get on board with reality in college basketball recruiting. He can help you with this.
I was told that A LOT OF (but not most) top college coaches did things the right way pre NIL. Wade of course, was on the other side which is why we shouldn't have rehired him. He also added there were plenty more walking the straight line, and I asked for more names, but was told I wouldn't believe it anyway. I wish I had more than the 3 names that were given.

That fricking shite ain't happening. Its a colossal failure to this point, and thats being positive. We might not win an SEC game this year. It doesnt matter who comes at this point. We have 1 f'ing player, ONE! If youre a 5*, you are NOT coming here to waste talent and play a year with other unknowns. Its suicide on your evaluation to do so. This is no longer ha ha, he he territory. This is a massive failure and quite possibly the worst "big splash" after a big time hire, that has ever been seen in sports. Guy gets hired, and not one single big time transfer follows him here? NONE? And no current contributors stay? Complete dumpster fire with less that 10 wins, if i had to guess. How could anyone argue otherwise, as of today
The dude that calls everyone ‘kid’ is melting in april about sec wins. Hahahahahahaha

Solid approach, but the landing? Not so good

WILL WADE’S PORTAL CLASS CHECKS IN AT NUMBER 91 IN THE NATION
Wade’s portal class is currently ranked No. 91 in the nation by 247sports.com and 15th of the 16 Southeastern Conference schools as the rest of the country is leaving him in the smoke for now.
From the SEC, Texas is No. 2 with five commitments, followed by No. 4 Tennessee with six, No. 8 Texas A&M with five, No. 14 Missouri with three, No. 16 Vanderbilt with five, No. 18 Alabama with four, No. 24 Ole Miss with five, No. 38 Kentucky with two, No. 44 Auburn with five, No. 49 Oklahoma with three, No. 52 Arkansas with two, No. 61 Mississippi State with three and No. 66 Georgia with two.
Yes, I tend to believe that all those SEC teams are much stronger than us...and thru a little research, there aren't better players still left to change that.
For whatever reason, as well as he has won, his track record doesnt show stability. I assume that effects recruits trust.
Bottom line, we are NOT in good shape at this point. No splashes, no kids followed, no recruits followed, and current roster left.
Pump sunshine all you want. He better get some bodies from Europe or there will be sheer panic time.
I dont want our beloved Tigers to see that happen.

Might as well sticky this thread because it's gonna be a while before we know anything.

Dude is just spewing false concern and negative narratives he’s making up as he goes. Zero substance
Posted on 4/29/26 at 2:07 pm to ChatGPT of LA
You’re right, he’s losing every game, “we won’t win a single SEC game no matter who he signs”. Dioubate is trash and everyone else will be walk ons from Buckeye, Livonia and Church Point HS. “He’s a total failure who’s never won under NIL rules” but you’re in total support of him and love him. Now what? When we start to win and you have zero credibility left what do you do? We know a person like you will never eat crow so what insane narrative will you cook up to justify the citations you’re filling the board with all off season?

The good news is that LSU does not have to play a game for another 6 months. It's certainly reasonable to question what the approach may be given there has been so little information reported. But I'm not going to panic on April 29th. Particularly, with a coach who has a long history of building and coaching NCAA Tournament rosters.

He didn't voluntarily leave LSU after 5 years. He then left a low-major job for a major conf. job...something very commonplace in the sport that NO ONE sees as a sign of "instability". He then left NC State to return LSU. He didn't do so because he just wanted to "job hop." It's because he obviously had an affinity for LSU and powers that could control the administration of LSU moved heaven and earth to lure him back to LSU. If LSU doesn't do that over the past year Wade is still the HC at NC State.
Regardless, college sports, particularly college basketball, are totally unstable right now. Instability is the norm with significant year to year roster changes.

He says
When Wade has made the tourney 7 straight seasons, the 5th longest streak in the country. I guess that isn’t stability?

I've just glazed over those comments about his "instability." It's one of the most ridiculous criticisms of him that I've seen. IMO, if someone says that, they just aren't a fan of Wade's at all.
