They transferring because they know LSU will not be able to play in the postseason the next 2-3 years... WW's departure may be 50% of the reason for all the departures at best

Wade didn't lie to anyone. He was forthcoming about everything in that NOA. He didn't cooperate initially because Alleva wanted him to meet with the NCAA and FBI without his attorney which I would have done too. No way in hell would I get caught up with anything during an interrogation without my attorney.

The only stuff that was probably an issue was the 2020 allegations which came from an anonymous source and wasn't proven. It was said that it happened and not proven as such. Other than the initial investigation of Wade, there was nothing that came out from the 4 year investigation. That's why they kept extending it. They had nothing more and tried to find something else. Woodward could've stuck with him but chose not to because I guarantee that football was held over their heads and had to choose and naturally they did.

I don't like the way that it was handled either but I'm willing to give McMahon a chance with the hand he's dealt. I even commented on Jordy's post about being too emotionally involved in your statements. I get it he's your friend but don't trash McMahon because of the guys he's going after. You can't sell anyone a vision of LSU basketball right now until the sanctions have been announced/are over. He just needs to stop making emotionally charged statements and be impartial. I could easily see this being his problem while at ESPN radio. Just like his problems with O and Derek. I get it but after awhile it just comes off as a bitter man who was promised something, didn't get it and constantly bashes them for it.

Not 5x over.

You want to justify it by saying “everyone does it”. But don’t realize how very few get caught. So you have to be extremely bad at cheating to get caught like Wade did. He has shite all over his hands. There is no defending it if you are an AD.

If you are a podunk fan like you with nothing to lose, then sure, it’s easy,

Weird.

The notice of allegations also says Wade obstructed the investigation by refusing to turn over thousands of records, and that in three interviews with investigators he knowingly provided false or misleading information.


Because you're wrong.

Was that in the first interview they attempted with him? Because I know he didn't want to meet with them at first. And if I'm mistaken I'm sorry. But I stand my the rest of my statement regarding Jordy's remarks towards the situation.

Y'all do realize that Wade was a very below average coach correct? One of the best damn recruiters we have ever had, but just an overall bad coach. The SEC record got worse every year. Other teams in the SEC were getting better and LSU was not. Jordy wants to talk about how Kansas didn't fire Bill Self but Will Wade got canned. Earth to Jordy Wade couldn't hold Selfs jock when it comes to coaching.

Then why don’t they keep their current deals they have in place and stay to play?

If you believe this situation was caused by the AD, then you are delulional. Wade made his bed, now LSU is lying in it! No, Wade didn't do anything that the bluebloods aren't doing, he was just to Frickin stupid to hide it!

Culotta was a full-throated supporter of Ed O until the writing on the wall was too much to ignore. Because of that his opinion is forever poisoned and should never be given any credence.

He’s back on the outside that’s why he’s pissed. He was very much on the inside with Wade. But next year the basketball team is going to be historically bad. I think this guy is more of a stabilize the program guy that’s gone in 3 years once there’s something to rebuild from and then Woodward goes for a big hire.

The only thing good about his program is the occasional interesting person or coach he interviews. His rambling and cohosts are not worth much.

What do you call blindly defending the worst coach in Ole Miss history?


Why do I give schit what Orgeron did at Ole Miss? Orgeron won big at LSU in case you missed it. Then again LSU Football is light years ahead of Ole Miss.

Jordy is loving this thread. The more y’all talk about Him is better for his program

MM is here for 7 years minimum. I hope he does well. Really well and makes us forget about the program's current destruction.
