Above average recruiter but a very average to below average developer of talent. He just doesn’t seem interested in perimeter defense which in the age of the three ball will get you beat. I also find the lack of defensive rebounding ability of this team (and most previous teams of his) to be concerning.

I'll ride as long as our expectations are this high to win. When these dumb threads stop after losses it will be concerning

This is not true

He definitely can not get these guys to play defense tho. That Texas tech game could be a make or break game for the season if they come in and hold us to sub 40% shooting and win by double digits.

He is a great recruiter and an above average coach. For our basketball program that is probably the best we can get. Keep us entertained in between Football and Baseball

I worry we’ll be good enough to avoid this for a long time, but we won’t be much better. The equivalent of 8-4, 9-3 football seasons over and over.


Which is light years away from where the hoops program was

For a football and baseball school as so many of you say we are, what you stated above is good enough

S- name just a few players (besides Skylar) that have really made strides under Wade. Can’t be one or two because a true developer of talent would be making everyone a better player. Nobody really gets better, plain and simple. If you really want to drill down, name anyone that’s better defensively. You can’t, because good defense is more of a team concept that an individual’s ability. Wade does not teach this concept. It’s a fair assessment of his time at LSU.

Do you not understand where this basketball program was before he got here?

We are past this now. He is now in his fourth year and he claims that this is his most talented roster. When you add in Wade's success in the previous two years the expectation has changed on what this team should be.

Smart has improved (last 2 games notwithstanding)
Watford has improved
Emmitt progressed
Taylor’s offensive game improved
Even Graves became a serviceable player

We already know whatever it is he is trying to do defensively is not working and whoever scouted UK and thought pressing after every made bucket was a good idea should be flogged

This was a small portion of the LSU basketball fan base. Fan is short for "fanatic", and there is that small element among the LSU sports supporters.

Most reasonable fans realize that Wade has his weaknesses (and every coach has his weaknesses). With basketball, you have to wait until tournament time to see how good the team is ultimately going to be.

"One and done" has made college basketball coaching a lot tougher. Player development has to be done under much tighter time frames (and this is an issue in this odd COVID year).

We’re very close to it not being good enough anymore. We were gonna be in the tournament last year before covid, and I still think we’ll get in this year. That’s 3 years in a row. Time to start aiming a little higher.
