There is certainly a large component of homerism here, but as you see from the comments above, no one seems to be claiming he did nothing wrong. This is, rather,a critique of the evidence and the media–game being played.

I don't know, could be worse. Now it is out there when there isn't anything at all to talk about in the sports world.

If this same exact scenario played out but insert Coach K's name instead of Will Wade, the Rant would want K tarred and feathered. But because he's our coach, he did nothing wrong. Gotta love the Rant

Coach K and Zion are knee deep in this thing, but Yahoo! won’t go there. Why should we be offended that Will Wade is playing the game? They mentions that Will Wade is driving up the price. That means there is a price to be driven up. Wade’s just being more aggressive in pursuit of these players.

a recording of Arizona assistant Emanuel “Book” Richardson was played where Richardson said Wade had informed him that, “Look, there’s a deal in place, I got $300,000 for [Reid].”

Why would Will Wade tell an Arizona coach how much he is paying a player? That makes no sense.

Really? You know a school paying a recruit is not a crime, right? It's an NCAA violation, the FBI doesn't investigate NCAA violations.

I'm not a big fan of any wiretaps being made public, as that gives the NCAA some ammunition. But to actually investigate the NCAA would need Dawkins' cooperation - don't think they are getting that.

At the end of the day, this is going to be chalked up as Dawkins sensationalizing this to make a dollar.

So glad MY COACH makes strong arse offers to recruits:

Come play for LSU
Come smash some white hoes
Come play well and get yourself drafted
Come play and restore the PMAC to greatness
Come play for the people of Louisiana
Come win the SEC in my second year at a massive rebuild
Come smash more white hoes
Come build lifelong relationships
Come have fun

G.O.A.T WADE

Are you calling Arizona assistant Emanuel “Book” Richardson a liar?

Jeebus. There is no real evidence that WW or LSU paid for any player. They do not even have WW on any tape talking about paying a player any amount of money. And they have neither any tape nor any full transcript of any tape to rely on.

Note: the idea that WW has $300K from anywhere to pay for one player is ludicrous.

They have been investigating

The poster you responded to clearly meant the NCAA, not the fbi


If anything new or more damning comes of this, the lay-off could prove to be a good time for Woodward to make a move on Wade if he feels compelled

They don’t have anything new. They’re talking about the same stuff.

The only new thing here, is the film claiming to have new audio of wade, that could be damning if true

Our players must have some world class, mafia-level money launderers working for them if they can hide hundreds of thousands of dollars without a trace with high school education.

Quite impressive.

slicker and sleazier than Calipari and Pitino

Sorry, but I can't believe anybody is sleazier than the guy that brought in hookers for his recruits and banged his mistress under a table at a restaurant.




Our fanbase (probably like all others) is so hypocritical. If this was any other coach, the "where's the proof" BS would be irrelevant.

Wade is a sleazebag. Maybe every other coach in the country is the same. Don't know.

Just like last season, its almost signing time again.
How dare a young outsider try to compete with the Blue Bloods.
If Wade wants to play that game he should wait until Coach K or Calipari retires, switch teams, then its OK.
