The NIL gap is kind of a useless number with no context.
If you gave Pirate Queen $500k to go buy male whores with, he may struggle to spend it all because he looks like this
Even some male whores have standards and don’t want to bang this dude. So he struggles to spend his more modest budget and is only able to use half of it. They’d rather take the money from ones that don’t look like retarded midgets. So others may spend more but it’s because they can. McMahon can’t use his allotted budget because he sucks and can’t bring in talent worth paying.
You really want to sit here with a straight face and tell me LSU has been completely unwilling to spend on basketball and that crap roster is purely due budget problems ? Some are buying it I guess so whatever

Hunt is a part time employee of LSU. He’s not going to call for someone to lose their job.

It was a bad hire. It was a cheap hire. They got what they paid for. He's the lowest paid HC with the lowest buyout in the conference. The contract isn't what's wrong in this situation. He was paid market value for being the worst coach in the league, which is less than everyone else in the league. I honestly have no idea why this narrative keeps getting repeated on here.

Year two certainly the recruiting part of year two LSU BB still had the probation over hang.

Nah, it was $755k per player and Cenac got $4 billion, not $4 million.

Firing Will Wade is why we shite the bed in the SEC

Hunt is right. Nobody gives a crap about basketball so you can't lose sleep over it

i dunno that we can rule out it being money and support from the admin.
will wade yelled about this all the time, he said the school didnt help him win at all. he managed to win in spite of them because he is the best coach in America.
I bet if you asked will wade if its hard for McMahon to succeed because LSU doesn't support mens basketball, he would say yes.

However, hard to succeed =/= dumpster fire.

Oh no. Monetary support is definitely a problem but it's not the problem. McMahon is about to go into yr 4 and the only development he has to show for his whole tenure is Jalen Reed, who's maybe honorable mention all conference level.

will wade says development doesn't matter anymore. every year is a new team with new players. you cant install a "system" where freshmen show up and suck and then by junior year they are all-sec. thats not how it works anymore. now its about building a roster from near scratch every year. like Kentucky.
player development is less important than roster building. which means money.

Wade knows how to work the portal, McMahon doesn't so he better know something about development. His whole defense is that they wouldn't have sucked arse if they had the two biggest recruits he signed, Reed and Ward.

NIL is definitely not the cause of McMahon’s failure.
Any coach could likely perform better with higher-level talent than they currently have.
We’ve watched his teams for 3 years. We have not seen undertalented teams playing fundamentally sound basketball and giving max effort.

Based on the up vote / down vote ratio you’re working I don’t think this went as you had hoped. Mouth breathers gonna mouth breath but the adults understand the process. And just when you thought you had a grasp on the subject…BAM!! Another down vote.
Posted on 3/24/25 at 6:47 pm to MasterofTigerBait
His best team lost to Nicholas and was down by 28 in that game but I guess Nicholls just had so much more talent than we did. The only people who think money is going to fix this just so happen to not know anything about basketball. Isn’t that strange?

Not a great process if you’re doing a total rebuild in year 4 after 3 shite seasons.

almost every team is doing a total rebuild. rebuild doesn't mean anything anymore because teams go from good to terrible and back every year. Kentucky built an entire roster from nothing. south Carolina went from coach of the year last year to worse than McMahon this year. Mizzou was 0-18 in conference last year and made the tournament this year. every year is a new start. there is no rebuild really. every year is a totally new team that could be utter shite or final four.
