Because will wade cheated


Yes paying players is wrong, that’s why nobody does it. We never paid players before, not in basket ball or any other sport, neither does any other university. Wade was one lone despicable cheater and we never ever never never cheat in recruiting. That’s why that case should have failed in the Supreme Court.

Also a 115 year old organization with a $11 billion annual budget like the FBI can be completely brought to its knees with a $20 burner phone. Everybody knows that.

This is an inconvenient truth.
The Wade Wankers can't or won't accept the reality of it.

Because WW got caught on tape talking about paying players and paying them from his joint account and getting LSU investigated which was used to set the program back 3-4 yrs

This exactly. We are the ONLY school who cheated in basketball and are paying the price. Auburn’s 8 ever NCAAT appearances prior to them hiring Bruce Pearl are the reason they started signing 5 stars the moment he was hired.

If you are going to make an argument at least get the facts right. The IARP (NCAA) never proved he "made payments to recruits from his joint account. It's an incorrect statement that gets repeated as fact over and over again. No matter how many times it gets repeated it's still just as wrong.

Disclaimer: I am not a basketball coach.

But it seems to me that they are lacking in fundamentals. When a player is being pressured and picks up his dribble, NO ONE moves towards him to help. They all just stand there.

They don't drive the lane when they should and run up it when they shouldn't. They seem to want to just throw up threes to avoid contact, and worst of all, though no one is hitting threes, they keep doing it. Why are our big men largely not under the basket fighting for rebounds and blocking shots?

WHY CAN THEY NOT CATCH A PASS AND SHOOT under the goal when their arms are above waist high??? It is a TERRIBLE habit to bounce that dang ball before going up for a shot. When you do this, the defense is hovering over the top of the shooter and disrupting scoring. Sloppy passing and careless ball handling.

Shall I continue? This is all stuff that should be coached in Jr. High and High School.

I would force them to do drills in practice where if they dribble under the goal before shooting, they would be running stadiums. If you don't help your teammate when he's trapped, you will run stadiums. And so on.

But that is my opinion and I could very well be wrong.

I know Wade was fired & their top transfer was ruled ineligible for the year. Other than that, why?

The new guy was paid to fail as per unofficial sanctions against LSU.

The fact that you have to ask not to be blasted for asking a question tells you everything you need to know about most of the idiots in here.

they didn't play anyone with a pulse other than Kansas St. last year OOC


Tomorrow is the rematch to avenge last years 61-59 last second loss in the Cayman Islands. The Tigers squandered a 12 point lead in that one. This years version of the Wildcats features another resilient team. They are 7-2 with 4 of their wins coming in overtime. I saw an early line that has LSU -1.5. I would take Kansas St and give as many as 7. Thanks in advance McMeh.

Anyone thinking of Christmas gift ideas for McMeh. He's got to have a serious chafing issue with the amount of time he spends with his arms folded...

We hadn't won a tournament game in over a decade before will wade.

You fricking clowns think you can recruit in college basketball without paying these kids?

You think Zion, RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish all went to Duke for 6 weeks of education?

You have to pay to play or you suck.

Will was sloppy but blaming him for lsu being bad at basketball is beyond retarded into elected democrat territory.

Would wade still be here if he didn’t cheat and get caught?

If yes, he’s to blame.

If no, then he’s not to blame.

It’s that simple.

Yes, its Wade’s fault McSad can’t recruit or coach. Dude is suspended for 10 games and built a better roster in 4 months at McNeese than McSad did at the state’s flagship university in 2 years. Let that sink in

Because Scott got cucked by the media?

No program punishments outside of a 10 game suspension… at a different school. Harbaugh just got suspended for “cheating” and will be getting a nice fat new contract.

There was legitimately no reason to fire the man.
