But I dont think we are truly appreciating that Lsu MENS Basketball has the number one class in the entire country. What world are we living in?? Has that ever happened at lsu?? And pound for pound.. is Wade the best recruiter in the history of LSU athletics?

Wade has always been good at recruiting/buying talent, the problem when he was here before was his coaching on game days. We'll see if that has improved.


eta: I will now welcome downvotes from the Wade fans who can't pear any criticism of their favorite coach.

Let’s give him a few more years. Dale had a nice run from early 80’s to the early 90’s. He had 5 McDonald AA on one team.

Not sure there were rankings back then, but the Shaq, Stanley Roberts, Maurice Williamson class must have been up there.

Recruiting rankings have never been more pointless

Would love to know what the budget is versus what it was with McMahon. Not a knock on either just genuinely curious.

I get you, but even with a bigger budget, I don't know if McMahon could've pulled this off. I feel like Wade is addicted to this, McMahon i don't think was.

Yes thats amazing but were all of those in one class? I feel like wade can do that in multiple classes as well. But that was after he had established LSU as a pretty good basketball program and football was in the dumps and baseball hadnt wont the first natty yet. Wade is competing with kiffin mulkey and Jay. His facilities are horrible in comparison to the rest of the league.

Care to explain how he wins EVERYWHERE he goes including turning around an eternally horrible McNeese program with 60+ wins in 2 years, including beating a 26 win ACC team (Clemson) in the NCAA tournament???

Wade also has the 11th best winning percentage among active coaches.

Let me guess: he was provided plenty of illegal funds to pay players at MOTHERFLUCKING Chattanooga, correct???

And idiots like you claim he can't coach.

BTW, I can entertain ANY legitimate criticism of Wade. Just not the ones that don't hold water.

Buckle up and hold on tight. You're about to be severely disappointed with how elite this program is about to be over the next 10-15 years.



Can't wait to here from ya.

I may not go that far, but there is some truth. Especially in basketball where roster turnover is even more volatile than football. Mid majors are signing more top 150 players than ever before because the power conf. teams a holding back cash to pay transfers. Plus, in this instance LSU is getting little help in the ranking from football with Hudson probably being more likely to play football but still being counted as a basketball recruit as well.

They weren’t all in the same class. The class was Shaq, Roberts, and MW.
