I hope somebody is in Javonte's ear giving him good advice.

After the Mich St loss, Benford commented that one of his main jobs would be to keep the kids from "scattering" because of all the uncertainty hanging over the program. If Smart were to bail, then the program is pretty much fricked for the foreseeable future.

My worry is that this kid has already had his family dragged through the mud, and if Wade is not reinstated soon, he'll just go play in Europe and make some money rather than walk back into this situation.

To be fair - what’s best for you, as an LSU fan, may not be what’s best for javonte



Just saying... if the roster is depleted, and WW is gone, then maybe coming back isn’t his best option




**never done this before, but not sure why I’m being downvoted - it’s the truth

If Wade isn’t back, Smart is gone.

I’m sure there’s a European team that will make him a strong arse offer if he doesn’t declare for the NBA

You have absolutely nothing to base this on. Sure, he could leave. But it's far from a certainty.

Possibly. It is more like he knows if they received benefits or not. Smart is not ready for pro ball Yes he could make some money in one of the lower classification leagues in Europe. Europe limits the number of foreigners on their teams and the euro leagues have plenty of guards. Makes it harder for an AMERICAN guard.

China maybe.

He could transfer to Kentucky and probably get a waiver for immediate eligibility. Seems like a no-brainer if the dipshits running LSU don't reinstate the coach soon.

I think you misspelled “Kansas”. Or maybe North Carolina since that’s where scumbag williams is coaching now. That’s his playbook.

You have reasons to worry.
LSU b-ball is a hot mess.

I hope WW and Javonte come back and Alleva is shown the door.

This is just ridiculous. Would it suck? yes. Would losing Smart kill the program? Not even remotely.

Duke could put their strong arse offer on a billboard in baton rouge and the NCAA would give no fricks.

Losing Wade, recruits and current players would.

We are already suffering from self inflicted wounds, but hopefully we can get it turned back around and the WW rumors are true.

If Javonte is smart he will stay. If LSU is smart they will fire Will Wade and hire Jim Calhoun to clean up the program and find a coach in waiting after 3 or 4 years. Hell Calhoun may win us a championship in those 3 or 4 years. No one on earth could disagree with the scenario.
