He’s an awkward chess piece
If he sticks around gonzaga they’ll find a way to get something out of him

Oh ok so you're saying he's not good enough to play at his new school , which proves my point that Wade was not this great recruiter he was made out to be. He was a star gazer who couldn't evaluate talent,see Traore at auburn, And Devin Ree who couldn't see the floor for the worst team in Louisville history.
He also recruited Naz Reid, Cam Thomas, Trendon Watford (all playing significant NBA minutes right now). Darius Days has played some minutes for the Rockets this season...who also have a 1st round draft pick Wade found in the portal as a unheralded 6th man at Cincinnati (Eason). Waters and Smart were very good college players. Brandon Murray was an All-SEC Freshman team selection, and averaged 14ppg in the Big East this season. You mention Traore and Ree, but conveniently left out Julian Phillips, who was a starter much of the year at Tenn and an All SEC Freshman team selection.
No coach bats .1000 in recruiting. But Wade hit more than he missed in terms of top 100 players. There are reasons to be critical of Wade. The players he brought in (not the means in which he got them) isn't one of them.

One team is a 3 seed at one of the more consistent powers in college basketball The other team was a 6 seed at a school that hasn’t had sustained success since the 80’s. Let me know when you see the difference.
It is a good question.
Why would a kid starting on a top 24 team not play at all on a team rated in the top 12?
There are logical reasons. Is Gonzaga stacked at his position? Is he a fit in their system? Is he a “problem”?
I do find it odd though that he isn’t playing; since he was recruited by Few.

Think about how stupid this comment is for a minute.
Multiple big schools wanted Reid out of high school, and gonzaga wanted him in the transfer portal.
Auburn and louisville won out over other places like memphis, Texas, Arizona, gonzaga, Arkansas, ucla, etc to sign ree and traore. But Wade was just a star gazer that couldn’t evaluate talent?
Yall truly have absolutely no concept of how incredibly moronic you are.

LSU last year didn't have the talent overload that everyone thinks, other than Eason, if you look at most of the kids that left they are just decent to good college players.
Yes, Drew Timme sits for no Man
Idk, feel like Few can figure something out to get the most out of him, if he can't idk who can tbh.
I don't think this is the case Efton seemed like a really good kid who had a rough childhood if I remember, and his mom would probably beat his arse if he got into trouble.
Just looking at it I wonder why Few didn't just give him a redshirt or something he has only played over 10 mins twice and one was against a d2 school I think.
