It's been a year since Will Wade agreed to lead our basketball program. And I know last night sucked, but let's take a look back at the last 365 days, shall we...



March 20, 2017: Will Wade Introductory Press Conference





June 5, 2017: Will Wade lands 4-star PG Tremont Waters





August 19, 2017: Bigby-Williams transfers to LSU from Oregon





November 8, 2017: Wade signs 5-star PG Ja'Vonte Smart and 4-star F Darius Days





November 10, 2017: Wade secures first victory as HC of the Tigers





November 13, 2017: Wade signs 5-star F Naz Reid





November 21, 2017: Wade and the Tigers beat Michigan in Maui for their best win of the season




December 28, 2017: Coach Wade gets career win #100 as LSU beats Memphis





January 3, 2018: Will Wade debuts the luxurious purple sport coat for the first time





January 6-9, 2018: Wade and the Tigers stun A&M and Arkansas on the road







January 26, 2018: Wade lands commitment from 5-star PF Emmitt Williams; resulting in #3 recruiting class in the country





February 26, 2018: Coach Wade refutes story questioning his recruiting tactics





March 3, 2018: Wade and company beat State on Senior Day to finish the season 17-13 (8-10)





March 14, 2018: The Tigers defeat ULL in Round 1 of the NIT; Coach Wade FLAMES Bob Marlin for his pregame comments








As shitty as last night was, it was almost expected with all the injuries/sicknesses we had. I couldn't be more impressed with how Coach Wade turned things around in just 1 year on the job. The future of LSU Basketball is BRIGHT, brothers. I can't wait to see where the Wade Train takes us!

Those white unis are so awesome. (See Michigan pic). Tiger head, striping, etc.

So clean.

Coach Wade has done more for this program than Coach O did in his first full year in charge and I dare anyone to argue that.

Coach Wade is one of the best hires (on paper) in LSU sports history alongside Saban IMO. His work ethic has been on display day in and day out. He is building a culture based on accountability and not individuality like we saw during the Johnny Jones era. With his energy and passion, he will not let players dick off and be selfish. I love it.

I fricking love Coach Wade and he will make our basketball program a winner again. If he can win and beat expectations by a country mile with some of the bad overall talent that we had this year, which is arguably worse than last year's talent, he will definitely be able to win with the talent the staff has signed.

In game energy and decision making has been incredible. You could hear his passion from the rafters every fricking game whether we played BRCC or Michigan. He has this program heading for greatness. Anyone who disagrees just doesn't really understand.

I LOVE COACH WADE

Seems like a few days ago i was hauling arse home from Shreveport on a Friday trying to get back in time for the Alcorn State game. Last night sucked but i had FUN watching this team. Honestly haven’t had that much fun since the 08-09 team. We’re on our way baws.

I hope LSU can keep Wade as long as Dale Brown was here. It will take the administration & fan support stepping up big because if he’s successful as some think he will be, there will big some big name schools coming after him.

Great thread man. Can you just change the title for the usl stuff to "Coach Will Wade drags his ballsack all over the face of usl coach, fans, and community"? That'd be perfect

First off, no one will refute that statement, you basically just told everyone the sky is blue. Congrats on your incredibly in-depth analysis of the situations.

Second, is your pecker so small that you can’t go a single thread without trying to put down O?

We get it, you hate O. Great. This thread is about Will Wade, let’s keep the focus on him.

Next years team is going to be scary good. Could go down as one of the best teams in LSU history with all the talent Wade is bringing in coupled with his coaching skill set. I think i'll be buying season tickets for next season

And yet teemike there are only 2 schools in the nation (ucla & unc) that could hang with LSU'S all time team. Wade doesn't have to go ANYWHERE to get top flight players.
