re: Interesting Will Wade story

If you don't mind, explain in detail Wade's shortcomings as an x's and o's coach.

As opposed to spouting constantly repeated bullshite people like you read on the rant and take as gospel.

You don't win like he does at various schools if you're not a good coach.

He's about to be fully funded and coaching one of the top few brands in college sports. You're about to find out how good he is.

Personally I don't think there is any better than JJ.

I can think of one

He's won everywhere he's been and he'll win everywhere he goes, and I'm thrilled to have him back.

I'd like to see us make a deep tournament run more than once every 20 years. Only time will tell and I'm hopeful

I take solace in this - compare WW's record at the same age and years of service as Pearl and Self and it compares very favorably.

Time will tell if he follows that trajectory, but as you I am hopeful and actually excited. His goal is your goal.

I'm president of the Will Wade fan club, and I hear you loud and clear. It will be tougher, but I believe he's tougher and better since his first term here.

I've posted multiple times that I expect a Scott Drew/ Baylor type tenure or maybe even better from Wade at LSU.

If I'm right about this, I can't wait!

I just want him to beat Nate Oats' arse

Wade’s first stint here I got to play golf with him in an LSU Properties fundraiser. Was a 4-man scramble + an LSU coach/celeb/admin. We didn’t know who we were getting until Wade walked up on first tee. Of our 4-some I was the only one who liked LSU basketball. Very nice guy from the start. I asked him if he played much golf and he said a couple times a year. He proceeded to hit lasers down the middle hole after hole carrying our team. I eventually asked him were the last times you played the prior 2 days because you are hitting it well. That’s when I learned he had college golf scholarship offers but passed on those because he was a basketball junky. The entire round he and I talked about basketball. Talked about Tremont, Javonte, KBW, handlers, recruiting in general. All kinds of stuff. After scrambles there is awards and a meal. This was my 4th time playing this and the prior years the LSU rep with us left not long after the golf was over. Not Wade, he sat with us, ate and continued chatting. Learned during that round what makes him such a good recruiter. He can talk on any level. Looking forward to what he can do this time around.
