Giving Lafayette a bad name one post at a time, he must be a transplant.

This is what WW gets you, I expect nothing else.

Regardless of the legality helping or hurting us, this is what you get. One ruling being applied and nearly the entire team (over half) are immediately gone and LSU would be in collapse.
WW and his low character decisions will always have you on the brink of destruction. It is what he is. And most CEOs choose not to put the entire revenue stream at risk, over one bad decision that brings it all down. Not Wade. Nope

Sure, LSU will be very good if all are eligible...but we also will be the absolute worst if the ncaa has things go its way. And trust me on this, the universities and coaches across the land, will be on the side of the NCAA on this one. Sure, other teams have done overseas players, etc...as a 1 off deal. Not a 6 or 7 man rotation!

It's comical . Like watching a boxer that has an unknown substance in his gloves, that is already deemed illegal and will be enforced after the next title fight....would you rrally think hes great if he won the next fight with the illegal substance? Of course not, youde laugh and turn against him.

Welcome to LSU with WW. You're the pathetic cheating boxer, doing things deemed illegal AGAIN, just having to be clarified more clearly to the cheater

I don’t know, man, it takes a lot of negative energy to put that to paper this early in the morning.

At this point we’re all pretty well aware of your disdain for General Wade. But of course it’s your prerogative to post what you will.

I’ll speak for myself, but all I really care about is that we win. You may not like the way he’s building his roster from a philosophical standpoint, but he’s doing nothing outside of whatever “rules” are in place and nothing no one else has done or is doing (see below). As long as he puts an eligible roster on the court in November, which he will, there’s nothing to worry about.

Long live The PMEC! I remember the LSU Assembly Center and the PMAC well but we have a new name now.

I found this in the op's defense.


1. The Boston Celtics Dynasty (1959–1969)The undisputed team of the decade, the Celtics personified the ultimate "ensemble."

I get where LSU fans are coming from but a statement like this is just burying your head in the sand. The NCAA has not cleared any of our Euros to play next year yet and if they really want to be assholes they can put their 5 for 5 rule in place that makes most of them inelgible bsed on a combo of age and the amount of money they made in Europe. Sure we'd try to sue but to act like only 1 player is in question lying to yourself.

The reporting on all of this is, at best, incomplete. That, I'm certain, is due to two reasons. One, there is little demand for the information (interest in basketball among the LSU fanbase as a whole, is low right now) and two, LSU isn't releasing a lot of information consistency. However, I think that is the source of any "worry" among the fanbase...the unknown.

Personally, while it might be nice to have additional information, I'm not particularly worried with the lack of clarity right now. Why? Because Wade gets the benefit of the doubt. In 12 years he's never had a losing season. Not counting 2020, he's only missed the NCAA Tournament once in the last 10 seasons, his first year at LSU cleaning up Jones' mess in a different era. He's proven throughout his career he knows how to build, at minimum, a winning roster. So to think he has somehow forgotten how to do so, lost the ability to do so, or is taking a huge risk that he won't have an eligible roster next season, means ignoring his 12 year career as a HC.

Is what he is doing, different? Yes. Do I think he is doing so out of desperation or without a detailed degree of forethought/planning? Absolutely not! The only people who think otherwise are (a) people who aren't really LSU basketball fans to begin with, (b) lack deductive reasoning skills, and/or (c) are simply hoping he fails for their own, weird, sense of self gratification.

The silver lining is that even if this totally blows up in his face and he's forced to field a team of former JV high school players it STILL could not be any worse than what McMahon "accomplished" over the last 4 seasons. You can't be any worse in the SEC than the worst program in the league.

if Luis is the only guy we dont get to be eligible we will be a top 20 team at worst

Torvick disagrees. Has LSU at #52. Last year NC State was at #43 and was an #11 seed.

ill trust what wade thinks of the guys we are getting over what a metric says.
also,its got to be near impossible to predict what a team will do when all of the players are playing low minutes over seas. when the guys play starter minutes they've been going off.

watch the film and make your own predictions . I just cant imagine the group isnt a top 25 or top 20 team. we have size that can shoot all over and they arent young kids they've played a ton of ball

We're in a tough neighborhood. Eight wins vs the SEC next year would be a huge accomplishment, even with Wade and a talented team.
