McMahon will win if given time. He knows his x and o’s wayyy better than Wade can possibly fathom. Who amongst these posters have season tickets??? Or donate to the program??? I do. The days of private Wade are gone thank God. He would have never made it past the sweet 16. At least McMahon has successfull inbound plays and help defense concepts. Nothing Wade has any clue about. Support McMahon and if you want LSU to succeed put up some NIL money. And stop post this stupid arse general shite. Wade is directly responsible for the hand that McMahon has been dealt

Idk what your deal with reed is, but they aren’t comparable.


I have nothing against Reed. I didn’t say they were the same type of player but they both play in the post. Reed may be better at slashing but certainly has not been a major threat to drive. My comment was about certain fans assuming that someone sucks because it’s a McMahon recruit or not a big time name. I was simply making a point that he was an upgrade in production and certain skills over a guy already on the team. It wasn’t to try and bash Reed.

he had the number 18 recruiting class last year and made out like great in the Portal from his old team.
The PROBLEM I had with him was he didn’t develop those freshman and they could have contributed all season and not just the end. He is a fricking idiot. Teams that were in the final 4 had less star power on their rosters and worse recruiting classes yet there they were. That was COACHING. Stop being like the liberal media and blaming everyone else for the shite he put on the court and his lack of ability to coach. There was NO frickING CLOUD OVER RHE PROGRAM.

Secondly, I have contributed to the Collective on top of my TAF donations and to the College of Engineering.

I had season tickets for over 15 years but no longer since I can’t get to the games but it doesn’t mean I do no support the program or can comment about it being in shite shape.

Mulkey took over a much worse program that had a shite record of 9 - 24 or whatever at won 26 games the next season and then went on to win a national championship this season. Don’t give me that shite.

Mulkey was pulling players from Baylor, not Murray State when she got here. And she did have some players to keep and no NOA.

But besides that, totally the same.

She didn’t have but one Baylor transfer and she left. Mulkey also had to teach a COMPLETELY differ by style of basketball to her team where McMahon had 2/5ths of his starters who WON 31 games last season come in with knowledge of that system. He also had a bench player that contributed a lot from that team. If anything he had a massive advantage.

Basketball isn’t like football with only P5 programs winning every year. If anything it is equal. 2 of the final 4 teams were not P5 programs in 2023.
Murray state won 31 games the year before, was in the tournament and he brought with him an NBA quality player who was the leagues MVP they played in.

Maybe he needed to recruit the Portal better?

Go LOOK AT THE FINAL FOR TEAMS FOR FUN. I did and the team from San Diego State had a FAR WORSE RECRUITING CLASS and yet they made it that far. They also had new players who were not rated as high as those at LSU.

This is NOT FOOTBALL. There were other teams and coaches that won their first year and yet here we are with McMahon.
Excuses excuses excuses.

Mulkey pulled a 6'5" center from Baylor, but luckily had another center and 5 or 6 other very quality players on the roster she inherited. Not to mention Alexis Morris followed her from her contact previously at Baylor.

To even compare what they started with is too stupid to even address. To claim MM had a "massive advantage" is just dumb.

OMG, he brought KJ AND FING JUSTICE HILL??? Well excuuuuse me. That should have been a Final 4 team right there.

Well yes, the highest rated players always win, right? Newsflash: SD State had a lower rated class than a lot of teams. I guess they all suck too.

Listen, I know you and the rest of the Wade Brigade love bashing the program right now. For sure the genius Wade was going to take that .500 SEC team, subtract Tari and Days, then add a couple of freshmen and make a Final Four, amiright?

Can't you find some Murray State board so you can profess your love over there? Look, I found one for you.

Those LSU players won 9 games the year before. NINE. It was coaching.

AND THE NUMBER -8 recruiting class. San Diego St had the 60th or so class and a rebuilt roster IT IS ABOUT COACHING IN THE YEAR YOU GET PLAYERS ON YOUR ROSTER. HE FAILED MISERABLY.

I have you ONE EXAMPLE of teams that MADE THE TOURNEY. This team didn’t even make any run. Are you stupid? If you think he did a “great job” or even an OK job, you’re plain stupid.

BASKETBALL IS ABOUT REBUILDING EVERY YEAR.

He better learn that or his arse is gone after next season.
I don’t give 2 shits about Wade. I think he shouldn’t have been fired when he had that great class coming in and teams like KU said FU to the NCAA. LSU is a bunch of pussies running that administration.

Who has claimed that?

Should it have been a 2 win SEC team though ?

That poster just lives in a state of confusion. I’m sure he’ll try to write it off, but he literally looked up and linked a Murray State board to trash talk Will Wade, when he meant to look up and link a McNeese State forum. It’s difficult to have honest and decent discussions with people of that ilk.

He’s a fricking moron on every board he posts on. Nothing worse than someone who knows nothing about a topic that goes on and on like they do.
