Have no problems with Wade taking FULL advantage of the rules.

However, let's look at big picture. Packing college basketball rosters with foreign pro players is not good for the game. Not at all.

But in general i wish they make the rules that pro league players cant play college ball. I dont like what is happening at all


In general, they already exist. Whats happening is low character guys take advantage of newly formed loopholes, that have to be clarified and explained. The ncaa is doing that, and some people are upset, especially when it hits at their school.
We ALL know college sports are NOT in any way supposed to be played by someone who was a signed professional, in that same sport.

Honestly can’t believe LSU fans being excited about possible winning with 26 year old international pros.

If it was another school you’d be whining.

we’d have players like that if they were good enough

I wouldn’t want every team’s roster to have older international players, particularly where the cost of doing so wouldn’t be made up… but LSU is competing against other teams that likely will and can afford to do so, so they need to do what they need to do

I'd rather win this way than be the bottom of the sec the "right" way like the past few seasons. Nobody winning is doing it the right way.

You should read your words again and understand the ramifications to your character as a person....and possibly a parent.

Good point.
But just for me, a bunch of professional foreigners is meaningless.
Wonder if we can recruit Lebron. He has eligibility.

It’s a day that ends in Y so you are crying about Wade again.

Who do you consider to be winning the right way?

He’s a hypocrite, he’s already inadvertently admitted he doesn’t care about “character” so his whole schtick is a lie.

More broadly, if the NIL experience is any indicator, the NCAA can't really tell a grown man where he can go to school or work absent an antitrust exception of some nature.

Lets start by saying the ones who arent weak enough to pay signed professional players from other leagues.

You’ve stated he’s low character many times. It’s not hard to know what you really mean.

Well he has no standards, his argument, 100% of the time is “whatever is the opposite of Wade”. He’s an alter and a troll who doesn’t watch or care about LSU basketball.

The Olympic sports have been doing this for a long time in college. The NCAA has not cared about addressing it. Until they do, play by their rules

Florida, UVA , UNC, Duke, Arizona, Louisville Michigan, LSU, and MANY OTHERS had former international professionals playing for them last year.

Oh, and we know you were talking about Wade because you whine like a LITTLE BITCH about him constantly on this board.

If you truly want to watch athletics in it's purest form, I would suggest division 3 or NAIA for you.
But we all know you don't really care about ethics. You just hate Wade for some ridiculous reason.

You'll have to change your username (most likely again) to continue posting here with what Wade's about to do here over the next decade plus.

"Last month, the tennis world was stunned when 23-year-old Italian pro Lorenzo Claverie announced his commitment to the University of Florida for 2026"

“ I think all Olympic sports are dealing with this right now. Not just Olympic sports, we have Australian kickers coming into football, 26-27 years old,” he said.

“I am giving examples, I am just saying it’s not just tennis. Track and field have 26-year-old Ethiopians coming in


The NCAA didn't just now get bamboozled by all this. They didn't care. Entire men's soccer team for Marshall 2021 National Championship team was Internationals. And those rules have been "your clock only starts when you enter a US university....whenever that may be."
